That’s quite an assertion but I believe it to be true.

There are a few, a mighty few authors who up front say “This is what works for me. Your mileage (or distance) might vary.”

If I’ve learnt anything from all my reading it is I should be writing, making my own mistakes and trying to learn from them.

I think that I need to refine a simple process that suits me and my temperament. Use the tools that work for me. That’s what all of us need to do. Keep it simple. Keep it true to you.

I’ve started this today. No more excuses or bull shit. Do what storytellers do…

Tell stories. 

Too easily diverted from my course of action by the next shiny thing or promising technique or writing manual / book.

It’s an excuse or is it a reason?

Does the difference matter or is it the consequences that matter.

NOT GETTING THE WRITING DONE IS NOT GETTING THE WRITING DONE.

Almost a week into the New Year, that’s almost 2% of the year gone already.

How time flies when you’ve no other choice. Time only weights heavy if you let it.

Remember that this too shall pass.

How we feel and understand our world and life is through our story and the story of others.

Love, hate, trust, enlightenment, transcendence, and much more. That’s what we seek and exchange…

When I talk to friends we end up talking about this or that or nothing or everything and we have a good time and it’s the friendship that matters, not the content of what was said.

Old Year, New Year not a lot of difference. Time, as we perceive it, moves forward and does not slow down, speed up, pause or stop.

We use time as an excuse. Not enough, way too much, especially if we are waiting for something. It goes too fast when you’re enjoying something.

But we seem never to be destined to escape its flow.

Best to make do and embrace it.

There is this idea that we need a reason to get up each day in order to get the best out of our lives and to live a long and good life. We allegedly need to find our passion to do our best. Do we need to have ikigai or a passion?

What’s in it for those who peddle these ideas?

Money?

Superiority?

Annoying others and making them feel inadequate?

Perhaps we need to accept that we are ordinary and should accept what we are.

We could try to be better and we could do many things, but not because we should but because we want to.

There are many distractions in this difficult time and in spite of all of the distractions on the net, TV, Radio, books,

I am not enguaged by the vast majority of them.

I struggle to find anything that enguages me in any way.

It’s been a long while since I last posted here. That’s self evident from the post’s date.

I find it so easy to start things as there are so many interesting things to occupy myself with. But continuing and finishing those things alludes me. I have all kinds of reasons – excuses –  that make sense to me. However, I am left wanting.
