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.

A Slight Advance

Whether or not the muse has departed, it seems that I am still able to scribble a few words down in an endeavour to rejoin the flow of WdC. I wrote something for Solaceā€™s three daily exercises yesterday and Iā€™ve done the same today. Plus a little something for Promptly as well. Theyā€™re small and inconsequential but at least reassure me that I can still shout abuse from the sidelines.

Itā€™s the reviews that remain a fearsome obstacle. I donā€™t care about the badges anymore so thatā€™s not the problem. The sacred duty to pay back the debt to WdC is what matters and reviews are the best way to do that. In time, Iā€™ll be able to return to the field, hopefully.
