A spoonful of me
1 min readOct 8, 2017
I’ve started to write more in the open because..
- I want to look back, inspect and remember.
- I want to look forward, be curious and reflect.
- Writing can sound different and clearer to my out-loud voice — though I’m sharing in the open not blasting from the rooftops.
- It provides purpose and comfort to my sometimes solitude.
- The act of typing slows, forms and completes my thoughts.
- When I start clacking my keyboard I have no idea where I‘ll arrive and it’s often touch and go to even get there. It’s like a river running uphill. There will be a journey’s end — with meanderings and plunges along the way — but will often seen impossible.
- It’s sometimes easier to show ‘me’ than ask the same from others. (Most of what I write isn’t shared. It’s only the odd spoonful for now).
- The writing I do share is often related to a Sheffield event so, in a small way, I’m helping advertise this fine city.
To be continued as I know this list isn’t finished. But in writing, as in life, if you don’t start — you don’t start.
