I’ve just re-read this.
I don’t think there’s ever a message in what I write, whether in 500 words or 50, and I certainly don’t think anything I write ever ‘needs’ to be said – except maybe to get it out of my head.
That’s not what I’m trying to do. I don’t really know that I’m trying to do anything, other than fill the time, and maybe observe myself and try to sort things out in my own head.
But evidently you’re still reading it – even if no one else is – so it can’t be that bad! 😉
Take care, L x

Thanks Trevor.
I think those are excellent suggestions and you should do them on the Storytellers blog now you’ve accepted my invitation!
As I’ve said before, I write what comes into my head. it’s repetitive, and not of much interest to anybody else. Imagine 50K words like that!
So, thanks for your feeedback, I will go back to just writing a journal and not put it out where anyone else can see it.

You’re not being patronising.
I’ve read all of your last week’s stuff.
You keep repeating – using different words and/or examples – the same, self-deprecating thing(s).
You know I think that you write well.
I have three suggestions – which of course you can ignore!
Reduce your five-hundred words to fifty – without losing any of the message.
Say something that needs saying – to: the public/the president of the USA/Boris/anyone you choose, then reduce what you’ve said as per suggestion 1.
Post the results.
Oh! and a fourth suggestion: smile!

Sorry if I’m being patronising. If you’re happy (and it should be fairly self-explanatory) go for it! 🙂

why?

Oh dear, I have gone in completely the opposite direction and have gone back to writing pointlessly every day!
As I’ve said many times before, if I have to write about something specific, I freeze and can’t write anything at all. I’m not sure which is worse/better.
I need to give you a lesson on how to write on the shared blog some time. That’s going to be tricky.
