Actually it’s only been a week, but I’m sorry I’ve left you hanging. My excuse (and it is just an excuse) is that my brain space has been invaded by other projects, work,martial arts training and the plethora of other things that everyone else has to deal with in their lives.

The reason I mention brain space is recently a friend of mine mentioned how much brain space looking after children takes. After a moments thought I decided I have no real frame of reference for looking after children, since I don’t have any.

I have an incontinent, adventurous kitten, but I’m sure that doesn’t count.

It hit me that as busy as I am, I’m fortunate to have some free time, a computer and some available brain space to throw at creative projects. I also have two arms, two legs and no major injuries or disabilities (unless you count a horrible cauliflower ear). This puts me (and I’m guessing, you) ahead of a huge chunk of the rest of the world.

If you have both the desire, and the ability to write, you don’t only owe it to yourself to be working towards your dream, you owe it to everyone who wants to write, but can’t.

Whether it’s due to circumstances beyond their control, disability or even a simple lack of resources, there are people who dream your dream who don’t even get the glimmer of hope we have.

You owe them.

Time to go back to writing.
