Specific musings?

When I was doing bits and bobs of writing a few years ago I decided I was going to write a book called "The musings of a 20-something chick" (yeah, well, maybe more than a few years ago!!). I fell in love with the title as soon as I conceived it. This gem was going to contain all sorts of writing by me - poems, short stories, essays, songs, random thoughts, you name it. Unfortunately I didn't really write enough at the time to fill more than a few pages. Call it stifled expression (a special skill of mine, but more on that another time). And then a friend of a friend told me that unless it was written by someone famous (which I clearly wasn't then, nor am I now), or it was a solid work of fiction, that I would have trouble getting it published. Despite this I couldn't let go of the name, or the concept. Hence the name of this blog.

It hasn't escaped my notice, however, that all I seem to be writing about is writing! Yes I am all fired up about it, but that isn't the only thing I was to discuss or muse on here! So I am now opening up the ideas and the possibilities, and giving myself permission to make this what it was originally intended to be: a collection of all sorts of examples of my creative or analytical thinking. In time I will also post the writings I did a few years ago, because I still like them and they continue to inspire me.
