What a few days, what a few weeks, actually it's been more like months...even years. Not too long ago I blogged I was starting a new chapter. This month I feel I have sat down to the first page of a new book.
By the way, that isn't a crap link in to NaNoWriMo, but seen as it works let's have a quick detour. I have been plowing on with the 50k novel in 30 day challenge. I'm currently a little behind on the word count, I've just passed 34k. I have learnt so much from the experience so far, and discovered things I never imagined about writing. I've had a few light-bulbs moments on the way.
Which brings me back to the bigger picture. Somewhere along the line I forgot my own self worth in every corner of life and it's only recently that light-bulb moment happened. So now I need to set about teaching the rest of the world ;)
This has mean taking a deep breath and cutting some ties which has been painful. Whilst it may be the best thing for me, the people pleaser demon in my head is still trying to scream through 'no, no, put everyone else first'.
Part of this reawakening means I now have real time to concentrate on my own projects and work life will be revolving around the wonderful AQA research and a couple of other PR projects, one of which is still in motor sport.
I've wondered if I should change this blog, which at last will be more regularly used. A clean slate for a new start or to leave it as it is and just see it as part of the continuing journey.
If I'm to reach those 50k NaNoWriMo words I'd better go and get on. As a little sin on my desk says "Don't quit. There is no telling how far you will have to run while chasing your dreams"
