I’ve got something to say. Or, do I?

time in a baby bottle
I do. Have something to say, something to contribute to this vast world of words and conversation.
Not, perhaps, anything profound – although I can do that too, from time to time, but even just little snippets here and there, I do have something to say and a couple of places to say it. At the least.
This is sounding like some sort of self-affirmation, confidence building exercise and I guess it is. Silly to build a site for the express purpose of nattering on about whatever strikes my fancy – and then not natter. Part of that is my natural tendency towards reticence and, sometimes, silence (I can go for days without speaking at all, except when necessary, and be quite comfortable with that) but there is also the issue of self doubt. Why should anyone care what I say anyway?
No reason, but that’ s also no reason not to say it. After all, I write reams of stuff in my head – might as well move some of it out to make room for other stuff
.
So, in draft and working on – and need to get back to;
Main one calling me is a piece about an ancestor of mine that also dovetails (hopefully) into issues today which relate back to his time. Or something like that. It’s a story that’s been nagging at me for months, for some reason, so, am writing it.
A muse about creativity, trust and dreams.
A phrase I thought I understood, because of who uses it, but found out that I really didn’t – but that my interpretation also fits.
Tokens, specimens and guides – I’d actually forgotten about that one, that I started a while back, but I do want to finish it.
I think that’s all for now – random confessions and stuff, but as they are random it doesn’t really matter when I do them, no? Ahem.
There are actually more, but these will do to begin with. I make my list too long and I’ll get discouraged and do nothing at all
(the picture at the top is from morguefile.com – seemed like the perfect image for how my days are structured, sometimes.)

Also, that word is fun to say.
