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.
To be fair, it was the smuggling of imported cheese without paying the required duty that the Canadian authorities were trying to stop. It just masde for an amusing post, that's all.
Gosh, I was just thinking about this very thing. When I reread some old stuff, I don't remember being the author and think I was a better writer in my past. I do have a folder with a lot of old "crap" in it for rewriting, because here are days I just don't want to think of new stuff.
If we haven't read them before, then they're new to us so no harm, no foul. But you're right to worry about using that resource too often. Gotta keep using the brain to keep it active. A mind is a terrible thing to waste. But it's okay if it takes a day off now and then.
I laugh at how many times I get a review, and to find out I'd forgotten that I've written it. Nothing wrong with dusting off oldies, and giving it a new polish. Hope to see some of your "new" oldies.
One of my family’s traits is that we all get feelings of doom - by which I mean moments when we feel as if doom looms enormously over us and there is no escape. These are short-lived but can be persistent if you don’t ignore them. Over the years I have become very good at ignoring.
What gave me the notion to mention this is Solace’s Get the Picture activity for today. Take a look at it and you’ll understand exactly what doom feelings are all about.
