You begin to get ambition; time is running out - rather than stretching out ahead of you like an open road. Suddenly, the time to do all those things you promised to get around to doing one day is immediately. If they are ever to get done then first thing to do is get started. That's what I am doing, making a start. The end, if it ever happens, is to write a book before I am 60.
I have always written, and will probably always write, but I have serious doubts about how good I am - or if the word good should be used in close proximity to what I write. I have a very ascerbic humour that is usually directed at myself rather than at others, and a huge belief in myself that I will never amount to anything - but I will never stop dreaming.
The prime purpose behind my use of this space is for somewhere to go when writers block bites, or when I need time to examine my own thoughts about an aspect of writing that I may want to seek opinion on. We all have problems, but a writers problems can be very different to those you have previously met -so you may find it entertaining to enjoy my hardships.
I have no idea where this will go or where it will end. It began because I was looking for information - and found what I needed in a blog. That gave me the impetus to create my own, in the hope that I may one day help someone else.
