Another year came and went, and now its a new one. This morning i received a tweet from an old friend Dave Jenkins who saw i had started writing again or rather was trying to get back to the writing. He could not have said what he did any better, that it seemed challenging. And yes it is so true.
I once was a natural at this, deadlines were my thing, i lived, breathed, ate and slept with writing on my mind, it was my calling, my career, my vocation, my passion, i was happiest when i was writing, the adrenalin rush i had knowing i had a story to complete and a deadline to beat could not be compared to anything. I was addicted!
Then i had a child and he took over. And for him i made sacrficies, i changed countreis so he could grow up in his country and he could belong, i changed professions i had to, i learnt a new language and even if its been three years of trying to get my life sorted out, it is not not yet sorted out. I wonder if it ever will be.
I wonder how those that came before me managed! To accept the new life, the new challenges, the feeling that you do not belong, the ups and the downs and most of all the fact that you have to make it all on your own.
Yes its a challenge but this is also a new year so i am setting my targets higher that i did and this year will be better, tough i know but still than the last one.
And yes i will continue beating the writing blues and write. That is a promise Dave! Happy 2014!
