Well, here I am - it must be my third attempt at a Blog by now. Originally I wanted to be self indulgent and smug, then I felt I needed a cathartic experience and a place to vent about daily goings on with handy pseudonyms of all antagonists, and now...? Well, now I just want to write.

I've hit that time of my life, I don't know whether it's when you get to your mid-20's and realise that you're nowhere near the place you thought you'd be, or whether the idea of being a quarter of a century old and having to work for another 40 years is just mortifying, but I want a way out. I want to do the job I always thought I'd do when I grew up. I would always be a journalist. Or a novellist. Or, obviously, a rock star..

I'm fully aware that the key to being a good writer is to, well, write. So, I'm hoping a 'blog' (a word which conjures up such awful images to me), something I can dip into here and there during a quiet patch at work, a running diary of ideas or thoughts, will help hone any skill that might be lying dormant way way below my surface. We shall see!
