Creative Connections

A second post in three days, perhaps I can now call it a comeback. Perhaps.

I thought I could just wander back in as if nothing had happened. Sit down, log in and the words would flow, my place in this little sphere re-established. Especially now, as my head feels like its in the right place to write, if that makes sense.

I am happy, motivated and in competition! A couple of my friends also fancy themselves as writers, and we’ve begun to push one another on; which is excellent. Our first aim is to each get a piece of prose or a short story published in one of the many writing magazines in circulation. This is exactly what I need.

My little circle of creative friends has notably expanded in recent months. It feels as though practically everybody I meet now is writing, drawing, painting, making music or pursuing some other creative venture – and the talent from most is obvious. The energy between people is fantastic; it gives me a real buzz and makes writing so much easier.

But be that as it may, on both occasions when I have sat down to write for this blog I have found it really difficult to start, and then to make it a respectable place in which to end. That could just be down to the prolonged absence from doing it every other day, as I previously was. I have found reading back over the entries of other blogs I follow helpful; if not a little overwhelming.

It didn’t occur to me just how much of other bloggers work I read, until I logged into my reader and noted I had around 300 articles to read – and I will read most of them, time permitting.

I might even make a start now. Au Revoir
