Do you ever think of Things and find sometimes a Thing which seemed very Thingish inside you is quite different when it gets out into the open and has other people looking at it?

"Winnie the Pooh" A.A. Milne.

This where I am at with my writing. I know there is a book to write. Possibly several, It is something that I have 'known' for some time. People have listened to my stories and adventures and have told me in no uncertain terms, "You should write a book"

Sometimes great downloads arrive from no where, often whilst in the shower or driving or in bed at 4am. Later when I reach for the laptop and re-create to the best of my ability those streaming words, those inspired words, those words that seemed so great when they were inside my head.

(why is it that happens so rarely when you are actually at your laptop and working?)

...But then they are out there, staring back at you from the screen and are they so great now? I am not so sure. Because who am I to call myself a 'writer' But I shall continue, because I do believe I have something to say. I shall write in those inspired moments, formulating some order to them, SOMEHOW! I shall finally get my facebook page launched and the website that is nearly there. I shall master the skill of being a 'completer' and then I shall truly know if its good to be out there or not.

I am now a member of 'SheWrites, and that seems like a very 'right' place to be. I welcome the community into my life, the connection feels good and embracing.

And maybe, just maybe the next time someone asks me " What do I do?" I shall say with pride...

"I am a writer"
