He takes a sip from his tea, listens.
“Yes, sir, anything left on a train on this line ends up here. Assuming it’s turned in, like. What have you lost?

I’ve never had a problem writing crap, but I do have a problem allowing myself to. That’s one reason I find it useful sometimes. Focussing on a goal other than perfect sentences stops me getting tied up in knots and losing all interest in what I’m doing. There is a view that all the polishing should be left for the editing.

Listening to an old Jimmy Buffett album. Doesn’t have the same impact it did when listening to it lying on the deck of my boat with a glass of rum in my hand, swinging to the anchor in a Caribbean bay.

Time is sometimes described as a fourth dimension, so:

Nice to be back among old friends and, hopefully, some new ones. About a hundred years ago, I wrote a novel. I’ve finally got to the end of another but it’s far from finished. Looking forward to reading some short stories.

Good to know, Barry, we’ve been waiting for it! (For those Denizens who don’t know Barry, he wrote a fantastic, bittersweet coming of age novel set in the 1960s called The Pimlico Kid, which is well worth a read)

Thank you Daeds. it’s certainly been a long time, something I might blog about one day. On second thoughts, it might not be such good read! I hope all goes well for you and I’m pleased to see your productivity in recent times.
