So I offered to do this blog about me and my writing, because I figured it’d be easy (because I’m optimistic) and because all writing is ultimately about ourselves anyway (so I’m told) and it’s about my favourite subject (according to my detractors). And then the deadline is upon me and the Mac’s screen is showing me a lovely white page and I have no idea what to write.

Literally no idea.

I’ve incentivised myself – no pizza or beer until after I’ve finished – which should get my creative juices flowing, but while we wait for that to start I’d better tell you the boring stuff.

The crowd gathered to observe the tearful wreck,
oh what tears the water held on that sunny day,
as the sunny rays made the river water sparkle

beautifully burning my skin
Now I could no longer feel that burn,
could no longer feel a thing

Last I remembered was cool water breeze,
as it drew my life out of me.
