RE: Mariannewest Freewrite - The Sea Monster

Thank you - it's a skill I've had to work hard at ! I worked out that Hive creative writing posts have a "sweet spot" of being about a 3-6 minute read. Anything longer and people just lose interest. So I trim out a lot of the descriptive detail and try to paint a picture by focusing on a few words with lots of cultural baggage that can do the job 😁

It always feels like a bit of a cheat, but it works. I've promised myself that one day I'll re-write the tales with the added bits and try publishing them, but I'll have to find a speech-to-text app to help, the arthritis in my left hand means that most longer posts at present involve copious amounts of Voltarol gel or ibuprofen.
