Hey, hey…here I am again…
As a Saturday morning rolls on, and I sort of overslept, but maybe I didn’t, I woke to find the sun shining brightly and a rush to get up and get some tea in me. I don’t close the curtains. I can’t be seen you see, which in itself is no bad thing. I wouldn’t want to see me either. My apartment overlooks the Atlantic Ocean and perhaps the only things looking in my window are the fish. If there are any fish.
As it’s a Bank Holiday weekend, I thought I’d just plonk myself down and get some writing done and so far, it hasn’t happened. I did watch a bit of TV, which I’ve now turned off so I have the quiet instead. I’ll switch YouTube on in a minute and have a playlist whizzing around my head while trying to knock something together.
I wonder if anyone else, while writing either has, or hasn’t anything going on in the background. I like a bit of music as I scrawl all sorts of crap at my screen and I can work without too, I suppose it depends on the mood.
A few things have happened in the intervening months and here isn’t really where I open out into any detailing, only to mention the months that have passed and simply move on. The writing has, almost gone away and I had wanted to get into the editing suite again, but once I got close, I just kept on walking and haven’t touched any of it. I did write a short story, I called it “The Accidental” and runs to 42 pages and this came about as I wanted to add the characters to another story that I’ve been working on for a long time and they needed/wanted to fit in. So I did this and it was enjoyable and so that’s about it for now, really.
Yet another Saturday rolls around and I’ve not really done much. I did have a problem with my password with WP and I had to reset it three times before I could get back in again.
I did have this rather vague idea that I would sit down today and get a lot of writing done, but at the moment, I’m sitting here with one eye on the TV and the other looking towards the kettle and yet another mug of tea. I also need to go for a walk as the weather looks a little flaky – after yesterday, it looks as though it could change again, and it certainly chucked it down late on – moving from slightly grey to quite bright and that’s more or less in a single blink, but hey what do I really know, I’m not a weather forecaster, so perhaps I’d better shut up.
…If I could just keep on track with what I set out to do – which escapes me for the moment – that bloody kettle is calling yet again, as I said, I did have an idea about sitting down and having today as my writing day.
There is something though. It’s kind of odd and it began last night, before I went to bed and it’s like I’m seeing a scene from something; two men in a dark coloured car, travelling south on the M1 and approaching Staples Corner and they start talking about where they should go. It turns out that these two men are either hunting or just up to no good. Anyway, that’s about as far as I’ve gone with it. I’m not sure if it’s worth venturing any further with right now, but we’ll see. Never say never, right?
So, I’ll sign this one off for now and I make a very loose promise here. That is I will try and come back here slightly more often and maybe, it’ll help loosen my fingers a bit more. And with that in mind, please mind the gap and take care out there.

It takes me a while to settle down to writing too, yes I have a playlist on youtube or I like to do 80′s music on sat. dish, I had problems with my wp password too the other day. May have been a system problem/ Hope the words continue to flow!

Hi, yes I have 5 playlists on YouTube and they can be helpful and sometimes distracting – rather than do any writing, hopping around to music instead – I’m sort of convinced it’s a mood thing really. Keep the words flowing. Cheers!
