On Your Marks, Get Set...

The United Kingdom is presently obsessed with 'The Beast from the East,' or as one Newscaster described it 'The Hysteria from Siberia.' In other words it's cold and snowing.

So many of we elderly residents remember the days of freezing temperatures and no central heating, weeks of heavy snow and drifts up to our armpits, but schools never closed, no one panicked and we all survived. Today, there is nothing but news of disruptions, closures, amber warnings and reminders to keep warm. It's still winter for goodness sake. What is this country coming to?

However, it isn't pleasant out and I have promised to start writing my book. I leave it to anyone who wishes to follow its progress (if there is any) but no obligation. It is my project and I don't expect others to be interested. Some of you will be familiar with some of the events included.

It's a difficult one to describe and I have no idea where it is leading. It is autobiographical and I will be posting it in parts, but not in chronological order as yet. It will depend on my mood, prompts from my writing group and emerging thoughts.

First I'll list five reasons why I've posted it as 'Still Unknown.'

I haven't chosen a title for it, so that is still unknown.

I don't know what genre it will belong to. It's not a novel, a memoir or a self help book. What type of book it is is still unknown.

I'm not sure what the theme is. There will be life and death events, depression, spiritualism, coincidences, music and relationships involved, but how to link them is still unknown.

I have no clue when it will reach a conclusion. Life events continue so the ending is still unknown.

A little anecdote to finish on. As many of you know I was born in America. My parents couldn't decide on a name for me and were too late when they registered my birth. Consequently in the box entitled 'First Name' on my little black and white American birth certificate is written the word 'Unknown.' I've always joked I think it suits me and 67 years later I think it apt as I am still unknown.

Now to remember how to post a new item. It's been a long time...
