Ch-Ch-Changes
Well, hello there. How have you been?
I’ve missed populating this space with content. I really, really have. It’s been a hell of a year, what with moving across the country and all that comes with that. The settling-in process has been slow and full of tentatives, sorted out one by one, bit by bit. It’s been a long, emotional journey, and it’s resulted in one of the worst droughts I’ve ever gone through as a writer. I haven’t written, I haven’t been reading, Words, the thing I love most, and I have been on wildly divergent paths, and I’ve missed them terribly. Take my word for it, friends: Worrying is not a creative way to live your life.
But here I am, shaking off the shackles of the past year and re-discovering my true love. I bought two books on the weekend (lack of cash has severely curtailed the book-buying habit) , a pile of newspapers (ditto), and I revisited this site for the first time in what seems like forever. I’m climbing back into the pool, one toe at a time.
After months of doubt, I realize that I still have the words in me. I have stories to tell. I have things to prattle on about, just because I can. And I want to. My writing muscles are weak, and I need to get back to regular workouts.
So you will start to see more in this space starting right now. At times it may be drivel, but at times miracles may happen and it might be thought-provoking or chuckle-inducing. Once again I want to write about my country, because I’ve experienced a lot of it in the past year. I just want to get the fingers going and the words flowing. It’s what I am, and it’s what I do.
