Doctor Keyboard

A short blog today. Sorry. But health issues with other family members make it hard to concentrate on much beyond those issues. That said, I did want to use this space to make a note of something I think has relevance to those likely to read it.

I’d started working on a new story when events took a serious turn. But in amongst the phone calls and texts and Facetime sessions, I've still managed to find a couple of hours each day to write. It’s usually in the morning, 9 to 11, and it’s become a much appreciated respite.

For those two hours, I can lose myself in another world, wondering what would happen to my characters, and how they’d react, and how others would react to what they did. I’ve always found writing demanding, and it’s no less demanding now. But the concentration required to set down in words this imaginary world not only produces a steady few pages each day, it also provides a very much needed form of relaxation. One I'm immensely grateful for.

Doctor Keyboard, indeed.
