Aha! Had you intrigued enough to peek in for a read. Now that you are here, stay on and leave your imprint. Leave a comment... do it. I think leaving comments at every given opportunity is the world's widest webcraft and it is a win-win for all involved. Had I been doing it I would perhaps never have suffered being "blocked out" and would have the confidence and panache to reel out episodes on my blog every week - just like my fellow bloggers on this site do.

Into my 4th posting I found my bravado slipping and inspiration a distant horizon. It's the end of the year blues I told myself. So what if you got only a dozen, err let me be honest - half a dozen comments including one that said he couldn't figure what such a blog was doing on a newspaper website(Ouch!). Office colleagues including one from across the border were very supportive, I should in fact say delightfully encouraging. So what was the problem, you'll ask. Get to the point rambler, you would be thinking.

Well, it was a new year and I had over the first trace of morning glory on the 1st of Jan mustered enough inspiration to make a resolution to think BIG this year. I decided that I had to make it big as a writer and the way to a big bang arrival was the second lead on the Edit page of my newspaper. On the nth rethink... I decided to set my goal on the second edit first! So what if it was anonymous, I would simply spread the good word. I spent quality time planning my roadmap to this pinnacle and every free moment poring over newspaper edits. I secretly investigatedthe powers that be behind the Edit page and the way to worm myself into this ivy league. All done I set to work. The quill quaked in terror and soon horror but not a word got written. Almost 30 days of struggle had passed when this happened, From today, DNA does away with its Edit page.

I am now back to my "growing up" anecdotes - thankfully one never, simply never ceases to grow!!
