belief, trust and process

I am in need of one of those magic potions that will keep me astride the latest developments, and all pepped up with the vitamins of good and glorious. Okay, what I mean to say is that what with all the hype of my new writing project, I am in constant need to replenish the energies of enthusiasm and to find myself the inspiration I need to dive into it.

*Deep Breath*

The new project is about to begin. I got a call to set the ball rolling late last week. And so, I am about to take that nose-dive into the refreshing waters of an exciting research project that has already got me meeting some fascinating types. My world is about to merge with an underworld of veterans and newbies; spies of old, turned fruitsellers and ex-pats nostalgic for the dust of days gone by.

Of course, colliding with that novel that I have been pretending to write, means that the overlaps will prove to be an interesting challenge for me. And there's no rush to get anywhere, anytime as per diary and stop-watch. No guilt about words that won't happen. No anxiety about the project being compromised. I am just being one with the words and being pulled along by the current from which they flow.

I believe in process; I trust the ability for things set in motion to make their way along a vine of growth and contention and more growth.

So they will happen together; my rainbow of things, side by side. And together, they will merge on this canvas of newness.

PS: This post represents the inauguration of the new baby. I will do a separate post on it in a few days when I can get back to the blogs. Cheerio till then. S.

Honouring A Purrsona

Hey all.
And so. I am back from the Secret Writers Convention. Managed to collect some sparkly bits and bobs as souvenirs: One likely such is the purrsona sonata. Say what? Alright, let me explain!
At one particular event/seminar or the like, I came upon a student of the arts who delightfully painted a worded detail about doing honours research in alternative media in general and blogging in particular. So. I would like to ask all you eager-beaver members of the blogging fraternity to pretty please take a peek at http://purrsona.blogspot.com and leave a link, make a comment or drop something into the suggestion box. All for the sake of science. In aid of research. Kind of like organ donation, only well... its done while you're still alive! How cool is that!!!! Lol. Ok. Rather, its like baking the worlds biggest hot cross bun together. Something for the record books :P
Ok. How about you just go scribble a note or something and lets debate it later.
Ciao. Bye.
Shafs.
