"Conversation should be pleasant without scurrility, witty without affectation, free without indecency, learned without conceitedness, novel without falsehood."
Published on November 22, 2006 By Sally jacobs In Blogging

There have been many times over the past few weeks that I have sat down and wanted to write. Now the ‘want’ to write doesn’t always mean that you are actually going to be able to write, and that has been the case for me. I’ve started things, and half way through I’ve just lost it, for reasons that are far beyond me. Now it isn’t that what I was writing was bad, it’s just I wasn’t feeling it. Now I know that may sound stupid to some people, but for me writing is an experience you have to feel completely, and when I’m not, I honestly don’t see much point in it.

I have missed JU recently. There have been times when I have really needed to write, but due to numerous factors I haven’t been able too. Hopefully I will be able to dedicate more time to this wonderful place, and enjoy the community spirit a little more. I think I need somewhere to hide when the world gets a bit sucky, and this seems a good place to be. I’ve had quite a few ideas for blogs recently, and hopefully I will get my bottom into gear and put men to paper….or finger to keyboard..whatever suits your fancy

It’s funny how ideas can come to you as your sat on the hell known as ‘public transport’ your mind just wanders and before you know it you’re shaping a novel in your mind. Or maybe that’s just me. If I was to ever write a novel I think that I would just ride around on a bus all day with a laptop and type a way. I get the feeling that could be a bestseller. Hehe. Maybe not. I’ve missed you JU and I hope this finds you all well and happy J

Yea, inspiration strikes at weird times, and like you, I often forget by the time I get to my computer.

We miss you and come back when you can!

This really gave me a chuckle. Some sort of Freudian slip. lol

I know the feeling about having half started something only to find the muse or inspiration has gone. I really have to have some level of passion for the subject to put women to paper. (oops!)

Have a Happy Turkey Day!

I'm more likely to not have inspiration at any given time, even when I really want to blog to increase my popularity! So take some time off, come back when you can, and we'll be glad to see you when you do.
