Not quite in the mood for writing, things feel a bit flat. I think I'm in the middle of the feeling that I can write, but I'm not as good as I thought I was, and I'm not certain yet how I can get better. The course is one way, but for the moment my writing feels a bit stagnant. When I was younger, still at school, there was no stopping the writing, I had so many ideas, notebooks filled with words, dreams, stories, poems. Then somehow it gradually slowed, and stopped, for a while. It's back, but not yet up to the pitch that it was. I guess I just have to keep going, and writing.
Stories seem to figure a lot of cats at the moment. And rabbits. They are my favourite animals, and Watership Down is one of my favourite books, though it didn't go in the six chosen recently. Cats have always been loved deeply, though I got to 20 before I was able to have one of my own. She of course is still very much with me, and is still full of kitten energy and play. She seems to invite stories and adventures to be told about her.
This is going to be short I think today. I'm tutoring very shortly, and then a rather mundane trip to Asda, but it's always a chance to observe and think, overhear an interesting snippet of dialogue. More later.

Ooops - sorry, just to say hello - I'm on Leighs blog and have family in Falmouth so know it a bit; and it was funny to hear you mention going to ASDA!
All the best with your writing.
I journal regularly, but have friends who find that this takes energy out of writing if they are doing both.
Think its very natural for writers and most creative people to have up's and downs - part of the territory.
All the best,
J
Thank you for your comment and best wishes. Falmouth is a brilliant place to be, my sister was at the college, so I followed her here. Even at this time of year, there is beauty. I love that I can walk on the beach in the evening, and see hills and the sea. Even Asda has its charms, and I couldn't manage without their 3 for £1 bags of sweets! I will have a look at your blog, thank you for looking at mine
