Find your Time-Space!

Starting creative writing should be easy!

It requires:-

1. A desire to write something (for other people to read).
2. Something to write about.
3. A specific kind of self discipline that means you can find a time-space to dedicate to creativity.

In fact any kind of creative activity could be substituted in the above:  creative gardening,  cooking, art work,  woodwork, pottery, needlework, music writing..etc.

So how have I been doing with my creative writing since joining the creative writing group in January?

Actually not as well as I would have liked. I don’t seem to have been able to make that decision to dedicate a time-space to the activity!

I have been on an extended pottering spree! Moving furniture, tidying the garden, decluttering cupboards, sorting out my desk area......

I did go on some wonderful travels a month or so ago. Visiting family around the world. Catching up with loved ones and gathering some added inspiration along the way….  beautiful Botanical Gardens and private gardens, art museums and exhibitions, watercolour paintings, amazing needle work and dolls’ houses, beaches and country cottages, old watermills and windmills, dogs and cats, horses, rabbits and canal boats, ferries and foods and wines......

There is always time to do what we want to do!  At some point we have to make the decision to stop the pottering. We have to let things get cluttered, untidy, disorganised and even a bit neglected! 

So am I ready to start writing?

I hope so.

I also hope that you the visitor to this blog have had a wonderful inspiring start to 2014.

Moving now into the rest of the year......

Watch this space!
