Something Else

It's been nearly two and a half years, and it's been a lot of fun.
But quite unexpectedly, I feel the need to take an indefinite break from blogging.
Writing about my life in this way (a dollop of truth, a touch of humour, a drop of fiction) gave me a slightly tilted perspective on the world and my tiny place in it... and that perspective suited me for a while.

The writing suited me too: a chance to flex my style by composing these short texts that constitute - when all said and done - a precious diary of the past two years.
The photos, the ideas... the sense that I could look at my life through a lense and distance myself from it, to a certain extent.

All of this has been great, and served a purpose.
And now that purpose has somehow trickled away or, rather, transformed into something else.
I have the vague hope that the modest time and energy devoted to the blog may be applied to another form of writing (ah! my ongoing novels and my stubborn dreams!). Or perhaps something else altogther: definitely reading, probably yoga or - less predictably, something arty.

Apart from the few loyal family members and friends who've visited me regularly on this blog, I don't know how many people have ever read (or enjoyed) it.
But let me say thank you anyway.
It could have simply been nothing more than a diary... but the fact that there were readers gave me the boost I needed to reflect, compose, cut and paste my thoughts.
Thank you for reading, commenting, discussing, joining in.

And, for most of you, SEE YOU SOON!
