I learned long ago that routine is essential. "Writing is 1% inspiration, 99% perspiration" - a hackneyed saying, perhaps, but so very true. To make any progress, it has to become a habit - you get down to it and on with it. Life sometimes conspires to get you out of the habit though - with family and other commitments, as well as rather more pleasurable activities such as holidays. And then you have to re-establish the routine .....
All of which is to say that progress has been frustratingly slow over the last couple of weeks! But I'm back in harness properly now and hoping that completion of the first draft of the family chronicles is still on course for Christmas.
PS. Other "more pleasurable activities" have included Anna Saunders' Saturday morning poetry workshops and a Picaresque summer party - both very worthwhile distractions!
Searching at Cerne
Where God collides with science,
the Almighty, reduced to particles,
plays everlasting hide and seek
with earnest folk
who chase Him round in circles.
"Coming now, ready or not!" -
but He touches base before them.
