I must apologise for the delay in writing this post. It has been far too long.
I just started a new job 4 weeks ago - and because of it, I haven't done any writing at all and Dead South 2 is gathering cyber dust in the cloud. I'm travelling an extra 1.45 hours a day and I'm exhausted. That is a lot of time traveling and it is for all intents and purposes essentially being wasted. I'll usually just sit there reading about the 2015 election, playing flick cricket or reading a book. (In fairness to me reading isn't a waste of time. But I'm not doing enough of that too.)
Today is the 30th April and I'm again just sitting on the bus doing nothing. Then bang. I just asked myself if it was possible to write something meaningful and substantial on the road? Even as I get thrown around in my seat on the top deck?
So this is a little experiment and you know what?
I actually think it is. And if you think this post has been readable than I'd hope you'd agree too!
Perhaps the scores of minutes spent on the bus every week is the time that I can dedicate to writing; no more than that, this is definitely the time I should dedicate to writing.
And that is the point of this post. A writer should take every opportunity to write. Technology has made it possible - smart phones and tablets are incredible and they can make us more productive. I wouldn't have been able to use a typewriter whilst going from North Greenwich to Eltham but an iPhone, not a problem.
So you guys are my witness to this pledge. I'm going to use the bus to start writing again. Hey it might not be perfect, but it's certainly better than nothing!
I'll keep you updated on my progress.
Until next time,
David
