Blog black hole again.

I'm only here because I'm waiting for my mapping to complete.

This blog is not working out too well.

I started it because I thought it would be a good way to get the writing cogs in action again. Only most of the time I am too busy to write or too overwhelmed by what's happening to actually feel up to writing about it.

And the longer I go without writing the harder it is to catch up in any sort of coherent manner.

Maybe I should just delete it.

Dunno.

One more attempt perhaps. Starting tomorrow. Or maybe not. I need to write a piece for my creative writing course on Monday night. A mate of mine signed us both up for this. It's a six week course, one evening a week. So far we are half-way through. It's pretty challenging. To be honest what I've enjoyed most has been the raucous coffees we've enjoyed at the end of the evening. The course is enjoyable and worthwhile, but as I said, challenging, and hard work. As it should be I suppose.

It's a smallish group, about 8 of us, and the instructor. There's an interesting mix of people there. For instance, a mother and daughter pair, both called Theresa (why, we wondered? Apparently Mother Theresa was trying to start a new family tradition. And was baby Theresa going to follow suit? Not bloody likely, she said.) Also a guy who's writing a fantasy epic about a man going on a long journey to save the world (lots of inexcusable comments at the after-coffee about LOTR remake - King of the Bracelets, perhaps). And we ran into someone that I met, oh about 5 years ago now, at a bookclub I attended for a few months.

Oh, mapping completed. More later.
