Toe in the Water

A tentative blog to test the temperature.

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.

Actually, writing this has made me realise that I should write about the motor bike. It taught me that one of the greatest experiences in life is to ride a really fast bike and that riding a bike is a very good way to get killed. I concentrated on cars after that but still remember that glorious machine.

There's a word count at the bottom of the post. As for tagging the Newsfeed post, I've forgotten how to and really don't have the energy to go digging around in WritingML. Maybe if they didn't hide everything so well...

Enjoyed this very much! I could relate with the Make something forbidden and they are bound to desire it even more. My father was very strict with me (or so it seemed at the time.) I became the black sheep of the family for a while, and then nestled back into favorite daughter mode, according to my younger sisters.
