Where have I been?

Yes, where have I been? Nowhere, really; it's just that somewhen last September (2007, that is) I didn't feel like putting more onto the blog. Not that there wasn't anything to write about, it was just overcoming the hurdle of getting started.

If you're like me, you will know what it feels like when you put off doing something for so long (hoping that the need to do it will just fade away) that you start to feel really guilty. Particularly if it happens to be getting intouch with someone - like an elderly relative - just to say hello, or something that you promised months ago that you would do for someone, and never got around to it.

There's probably some medical terminology for this - not just procrastination, it's chronic procrastination, if you know what I mean?

The restart of this blog (and moving it over to a more usable platform like Wordpress) was one of these long-term put-off jobs. There's also the blog where I post my book reviews (see column to the right) - that suffered in exactly the same way, but I now seem to have got both of them restarted.

Perhaps I'm now through the dark woods and back out into the light?

God, I hope so!
