Ten years ago I was writing several blogs on various subjects - F1 motor racing, Music, Classic Cars, Great Romances and, most crushingly, a personal journal that included my thoughts on America, memories of England and Africa, opinion, humour, writing and anything else that occurred. It all became too much (I was attempting to update the journal every day) and I collapsed, exhausted and thoroughly disillusioned in the end.
So this blog is indeed a Toe in the Water, a place to document my thoughts in and on WdC but with a determination not to get sucked into the blog whirlpool ever again. Here's hoping.
"I can know exactly what I want to write and then, seconds later, when I come to the point of typing the most important word, I find it’s gone. It matters not that I knew the word mere moments ago, somehow it has departed my brain and refuses to return."
Thank you ... I don't feel so bad knowing I'm not alone in this. These days it seems to take forever to write something.
It can be a medical thing, really, and we shouldn't make light of it around here. There are many different language impediments that come after strokes or with dementia.
And you know what? You were once a billion times smaller than that little speck. We all began as a single cell in our mother's womb. Pretty awe-inspiring, huh?
I was asked the other day about which aspect of writing I liked the best. There was an answer that suggested itself immediately and so I wrote it down and moved on to other things.
But today I’ve found that there is another answer and it’s nearly as good as my first. What I really love doing is reading through a bunch of my old stuff and finding something I’d completely forgotten. The best ones are those that don’t even stir a faint flame in the bottomless pit of the forgetory.
Most enjoyable of all is the feeling as one reads that, “Hey, this is really good, wish I’d thought of it - wait a minute, I did!”
