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 like your analogy and everyone's comments. I don't take pills but my confidence in traveling is wavering. 46 countries and 200 places? You would think...
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!”
