"Jut as splinters work their way to the surface of our skin, given time, stones work their way to the topsoil over successive frosts.  What themes or ideas 'surface' in your writing?"

​This made me realise I've forgotten about a lot of the stories I've written.  Lots will be missing from this list.  But, basically, what I remembered was:

​Loss/grief - Writer, Greyhound, When Harry Met Sally
​Anger/pain - What You Deserve, Sweat and Tears
​Being haunted - the one based on Dad talking about Nanny dying
​Society's failings - PNCS, Messenger 1
​Dismissing love - Summer Lightning
Hating yourself - Greyhound, Crow Flying

​(Joy, joy, joy, and a bit more joy :) )

​Not the only themes of course, and there's good sides too in some of these but still, wow, a bag of dirges there.  I guess it depends how you look at the story, how you subdivide (or don't) what it's about.  I must look at more of my stories.  And also what about the funny ones?  Like Cuthbert the Giraffe, and my 50/50 animal ones.  There's definitely a light somewhere.

​Oh yeah what about the snow one - what's that about?  People being amazing, what belief can do...?
