Haha.. we’ll see - I think a little ironing at least first..!
Also I hear what you say about the photography, this is my stumbling block... the instantaneousness of it - the sighting, the snapping, the posting..! It’s fast and furious... and if it’s not you miss it - with writing there has to be a question of time factored in - a commodity I’m so short of...!
And of course, I’m not a photographer either... I barely even know how my camera works - I just know what I like to see and hope that others do too..! X
One thing at a time it sounds so easy but when you’re bursting with words it is not. So I’m so excited for this part of your journey it’s an honor to come for the ride. Your new story the excitement is very clear. Your book I’m so pleased your now on the way with a clear idea ahead of you , and new things to navigate. I wish you joy completing this adventure xx
More and more often I’ve been thinking I must begin !
And then I read your brilliantly eloquent first ever post (and a few others) and my heart sinks...
I feel like an illiterate fraud...
Words tumble around my head like laundry in a washing machine but they come out, not cleaner and ready for ironing onto paper but more like the pile that gets tangled up in the bottom of a duvet... knotted, muddled and confused... still dirty and more creased than ever.
And then I ask myself, who would want to read the ramblings of this mad old bat anyway ?
Do I even have something to say ?
I’m far from ready...
That said, you continue to inspire me, in fact I’m even more in awe than ever and I wish you immense success with your book which I know, unlike my laundered jumble, will be assembled as brilliantly and as finely tuned as everything else you write... xx
Enormous thanks Pip.. I will never give up ! Mainly for the same reason as you, that being I don’t want to be lying in my final resting place wishing I had had the courage to write down all those wrinkled words.. even if they are still not perfect when they come out..!!
That first step though... ugh..!! It’s massive..! X
