I always say I’m going to start a “writing practice” - whatever that means. Though, to be honest -I know what I would want it to mean.

• I want to be able to write as clearly as I’ve been reading others
• I want to do it with a ferocious consistency
• and I want it to become something I do as an extension of my thinking, reflecting, ideating etc.

But time and again, I have a shy start (similar to what happens right now) and then it fades into oblivion. Then, eventually, I read something that’s so clean, clear and simple that it starts the itching alll over again. So here I am …whatever this is.
