Give me a Moment


I am bitterly aware that I have not posted anything on my blog for a week or so now. I am guilt ridden and have been in pieces about my lack of time to dedicate to it but there’s a glimmer of hope on the horizon and I apologise for my tardiness.

Never the less, the time I’ve had away from my writing has helped me to really think about what I should write. I am a big advocate of having ‘something to say’ and not simply ‘saying something’ as so many people seem to do these days. Long gone are the days when an update from a friend was to tell you they were getting married or that their dog had died; now I get to hear what they eat for breakfast and whether they’ve been laid in the last few hours. I can’t really say much though, those who have read my (obsessive) Facebook updates will attest to.

I have lots of exciting ideas for this blog over the coming months, and still intend to pump out as much as you’ll listen to, but there’s some added surprises on the way as well.

My little hiatus has been key in my resetting my mental tuning fork and I’d advise anyone and everyone to do it, even if it’s just once a year. Drop the pens, pencils, laptops, balls and coffee cups and take a walk by the Thames instead. Sometimes it’s far too easy to be consumed by yourself, when to really help yourself you need to step away and separate the forest from the trees.
