Still writing – as in ‘I’m still writing’ or the ‘writing is still’? Completely stopped more like…this has been less of a blog break and more of a blog abandonment.
And on that note – Hello!
Um. Well, this is awkward.
Hello!! Is anyone out there!!? Helloooo!!!
Ah well.
So this was supposed to be my ‘out of office’ post. I think it has taken so long to write that it is fast turning into my ‘I’m a little bit back’ post.
I would love to say that I’m back from a series of immensely exciting adventures that have taken the place of blogging but I’d be lying.

Instead I was too tired to write in the evenings and too tired to get up early in the mornings to write. I then got out of the habit and, shock horror, I didn’t mind and I didn’t miss my blog. I enjoyed the break from it all and being out of the game (which I wasn’t very good at anyway) of social media is particularly refreshing.
But then I really did mind and really did miss it and so it’s time to restart the habit. I’m a little rusty so you’ll have to bear with me.
What I missed most was putting words down somewhere solid. Consistently over the year I’ve been reminded of one of my Creative Mothers contributors, Claire from Art and Soul. In her piece she gives tips for finding time to write…she reminds us that you can ‘write’ anywhere; that writing in your head still counts as writing. I love that idea, I’m sure most people who have a penchant for the written word find themselves writing constantly – I compose my absolute best pieces in the car, in the shower and before I go to sleep at night (the last one being slightly annoying).
So yes I’m still writing. I’m just now hoping to put more of it down on the virtual paper we call blogs. And I think that using over 350 words to simply say ‘hello, I’m back’ is an interesting start – but it’s ok ,the next post I’ve got coming is AMAZING. I wrote it when I was washing my hair this morning…
Hello!!!! I’m here and so glad you are back. Missed you xxx
Love the ‘writing in your head’ idea. I think indo that quite often… Anyway lovely to have you back 😉

Welcome back. Lucy. I know what you mean about ‘writing anywhere’ being basically just writing. So many of my best posts occur to me when I’m nowhere near a computer or a pad – the only problem is I’ve forgotten half of them within minutes …

Thank you Tim. Yes that’s my problem too. And i sometimes wonder if they’d be as good in real life as they are in my head anyway!
