Hiding behind the sofa

My sofa has casters attached.

Which could have been a good thing tonight. Doctor Who does not usually frighten me these days but it is good to know that techniques used in years passed can still be employed if needed.

I enjoyed 'The Bells of St John.' I think that Jenna Louise-Coleman is going to be a hit. Her character is engaging and lively. I expect great things.

Stephen Moffat is a brilliant writer. While I still remain a devotee of his predecessor (Russell T Davis) The new series continues to 'grow on me' It is good to switch off.

This last week has seen me create my own fantasy worlds and characters. I am pleased with the effect writing had on my mood and I hope I will spread a little joy to others when they (finally) get the chance to read my work. I am not quite at Mr Moffat's level of expertise but one day, who knows? (forgive the pun)

The actors and writers of Doctor Who have created a magical world of adventure. One that has a moral core. Children of all ages will remember moments from that show for the rest of their lives. This child does.

This gives me hope.

Writing should be a force for good. And what better thing is there than inspiring others?

I will leave you with that thought.

Writing down the dreams

Life is beginning again.

It is pretty cold here in England at the moment. Spring has not reached us yet even though the clocks are about to change and mother nature is rearing to go. The weather is causing some people to feel down in the dumps. 'Things' are far from perfect.

For me Easter is a time of renewal. Regardless of the religious aspects of this festival I have always taken the opportunity of the holidays to make a new start. My creative writing picks up momentum and this year I am attempting to learn to use a paintbrush (I have plans to master digital art-working but that will have to wait)

For me the last 5 or 6 months have been a time of healing. I have put 'Stress' back in its box. I have rarely been as creative as I am now. I know my writing is reaching a new level. I have started to publish. All these things are good. I have been incredibly lucky. 2013 (so far - touch skull) has been a rather good year. I know others who are having a much better time now than last year and I also know people who are still struggling. Hang in there. There is hope.

I will be sharing more stories with you over the coming weeks and months. It is the best way I have to make 'things' better both for others and for myself.

Sometimes all we need to do to improve our situation is to live out our dreams. That is why I keep writing. Easter is time for dreams. Ones that touch our reality. All I do is write them down.

Have a good Easter wherever ever you are.
