My time the last couple of weeks wasn’t lost, more like it was eaten up, by little bites, that ate away my day and left me too distracted to write. Lost or eaten, it’s true it can’t return to you.
Thomas á Kempis is also known for his quote “Out of sight out of mind, the absent are always in the wrong.” He was referencing his religious beliefs in this quote.
Writing, while not my religion is a ritual for me. I have not written anything creative for two weeks and when I’m absent from my novel or blog my world feels wrong, my story gets cold and I get cranky.
The good news is I’m back in control of my time – pen in hand - thoughts to ink.
The other good news is I’ve subscribed to feedburner a system where you can sign up to receive email updates when I post. Saves checking in to see if I’ve shown up. You can find the link on the upper side column.
Hope all is well in your world.
I read you on Bloglines. I’m glad you no longer have reason to be cranky!
I’m glad yo have continued to write. I am also impressed with your research which indicates you look for and find information that gives you a starting point as well as backs up the point you are trying to make.
Merry Christmas to you Johnny and Julian.
Love,
Uncle Bill
