Something Has Changed

To quote one of my favourite songs…”Something has changed within me”. I don’t quite know what exactly but I find myself thinking and feeling more and more like a writer. This week I have actually uttered the words “I am a writer” and smiling to myself that I have dared say it aloud and not just to myself but to another person. It’s like the secret is out, I can’t contain it any more.

With this seems to have come a new sense of focus. I am looking more at the world with my writing hat on. I can almost feel Bob sitting on my shoulder like a mischievous imp taking notes as I go about my day,(Oh wouldn’t that be useful?! It would save me having to remember to write things down).

Maybe it is the changing of the year, or perhaps it’s just the fact Bob and I have been getting to know each other better recently and I understand him more. Apart from the one annoyance of giving me a brilliant story whilst I was in bed with a migraine which in that fuzzy headed moment I didn’t write down and like a puff of smoke it drifted out of my head and has yet to resurface, Bob and I are getting on much better. I try to listen to him more and jot down ideas, he tries hard not to give me such ideas at inopportune moments.

Perhaps it’s the inward glare I have been giving him when he does this to me. I feel like a mother chastising a child for doing something naughty. I almost see myself as one of those characters who shouts and screams at someone in one breath only to be wishing and willing that someone to still like me with  another.

“Don’t you dare do that to me again you incompetent imbecile, but  please do come again and bring me lots of inspirational stories…love you really”

So presently Bob and I are having a good relationship with one another. I also feel more organised. I have decided that I need to explore social media more with my writing hat on so I have turned into a tweeter (I hope that’s right and not my initial thought which was that I was a twit – though I sometimes feel the latter is more apt for me at times)

I have also decided that I should update my blog at least once a week, this takes the pressure off me trying to juggle too many balls and dropping most of them on a daily basis. So Sunday’s is now blog day and I’ll be tweeting during the week too, so let’s see what Bob brings me this week.
