Well, here I am. Writing my first blog post. Yuk – even the word blog doesn’t sit right with me. I’ve been journaling privately for many years now, but I’ve stumbled across so many different signals recently that seem to be telling me that “writing” is the way for me to go.
I’m at a career crossroads (another “yuk” phrase – hopefully I’ll learn to use less of these), and randomly appear to have found that I seem to be better at most at writing. For sure from an early age at school composition was my thing. Whereas most children in the class would write a two page essay I would find it easy to churn our page after page. Four or five times more volume than the other children in my class. And it wasn’t just volume. My best marks in education consistently came from my composition and work in English. Which is why I sit back in horror now and wonder why on earth I chose Physics and Maths as chosen subjects, when English came so much more naturally to me.
I haven’t decided how much I am going to share publicly for now. Looking around it appears that you just “find your own way”. I don’t know what “my way” is – apologies to Frank Sinatra and Sid Vicious – one thing’s for sure – the next few posts will give me an idea. But the way I don’t know if add in “-” in to sentences makes it easier to read – or if its just plain bad grammar and irritating.
Anyway, that’s the first one done. On to the next.
