Toe in the Water

by Beholden

Rated: 13+ · Book · Experience · #2223922

A tentative blog to test the temperature.

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.

Signature for those who are nominated for a Quill Award in 2021

I tend not to add to finished posts. Seems too much like hard work.

I will post... something... akin to your nothing then add to it later in the day. I had to be careful in Thailand due to the 12 hour difference. "Brilliance" happens when my inner light goes on. Somedays I survive in darkness.

I like the way you think. I have the same problem, but it sometimes lasts all day long. And, not only for blogging, but also for commenting. Perhaps I need to develop "The Nothing Comment".

Something like this:

I read what you wrote and commented; you can now read what I wrote.

Well stated. I'm only here because I need to get my blog interaction over with quickly, though I feel bad saying it. Thankfully you're a good humored sort

May I say that your talent for saying nothing so eloquently is unmatched, or does that sound rude even when meant as a compliment?

I don’t think the 1% risk is something we can just ignore. While some may say people are overreacting or merely selling stories, I refuse to just stand by and watch. After all, someone has to protect the world.

I definitely felt a folk music vibe and though the couple danced more elegantly, I could imagine a square dance called to this beat.

Weather and All That

There seems to be a lot of talk of the weather on the Newsfeed these days. Me, I live in New England so I just keep my head down and mouth shut. Catch me annoying the weather gods!
