h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

The good thing about this journal is that it's refreshing to be able to sit and write something...anything...straight away and not have to nibble at a pencil whilst waiting for my muse to pay a long overdue visit. Therefore, what I enter into this somewhat meagre tome are scrambled thoughts, opinions and whatever else may sneak into my head. A head, it must be pointed out, that is full of the hissing, venomous vipers that make up the everyday stress of modern living, and is bereft of the cooling sensation of inspiration.

But hey ho...someday my ship may come in, loaded with the cargo of ideas that will be offloaded by merry deckhands and given to me as a gift for my patience and foebearing in this barren spell.

This journal is beginning to resemble to incoherent ravings of a madman.

But not to worry...onwards and upwards, as they say.

I shall depart now, and get my mental feather duster out, and attempt to clear the cobwebbed recesses of the part of my mind that is meant to be creative...and indeed is creative, when it's working proplerly.

hey not to worry- I'm sure some inspiration will come....eventually. I find that if you sit scanning your brain for something to write about the only thing that you achieve is one big headache, as well as a HUGE amount of frustration- possibly?

Take it in your stride naturally- ie always have a note book on you so that when it does come- write it down- even if it's only a single word that will remind you of way you are seeing, hearing, feeling, etc.

It works wonders- but you may find that you never stop writing!!!

Enough from me, but hey you don't do too bad even your journal I find amusing!!!

Hi Candice, many thanks for reading my journal and I'm pleased you find it amusing. One tries, you know.

I'm really enjoying writing it, in a strange stream-of-consciousness kind of way, it is quite liberating to write like this, even if what you write is self-indulgent piffle.

Enjoy your work...keep it going, and speak to you soon.

albe.
