If you’ve been following me online (or you’re a subscriber), you’ll no doubt have noticed that I haven’t been writing much lately, and this lack of written words has gone on for several weeks now.
I wrote about it in an article at https://ruthiswriting.com/articles/2020/Lockdown.html.
But now I’m firmly back in my writing chair and I have already planned out and started to write again.
I had thought that with all this ‘isolation’ stuff going on that it would be a great opportunity to get loads of writing done. That was my original plan.
And yet it soon all went pear-shaped on me. Before I realised it, I was so involved in doing other things (and you won’t believe WHAT things).
I think the problem was that I already spend most of my time at home writing with occasional visits to the pub for a glass of beer at the end of the day, or lunch out at the coast, or something else similar.
Then suddenly it all seemed different because I couldn’t go to the pub and sit and have a drink in the beer garden or go and have lunch at the coast, or have lunch out anywhere for that matter.
They even stopped my beloved rugby league that I love to watch. I’d already been up north in March to go to a live match, but that was the one and only weekend crowds were allowed and after the following weekend, they banned the players from the stadiums too. (sad face)
So that made it really different for me and so I had to find other forms of entertainment, and boy did I ever.
But now I’ve settled back down and I’m writing again.
Not only that, but I have lots of things planned so keep an eye out for it all.
It will be coming to an inbox near you soon.
