As I mean to continue

I was talking to a friend about blogging the other day - saying that it would be great to use a blog as one would morning pages. Take the time to clear my head of stuff from the night's dreaming, the ups and downs of the day before, mull through work-, family-, writing-related material. Or for that matter, clear my head of all that stuff at the end of the day. But however I use this space, I'll try not to forget my primary motive for setting this blog up - to get  back into the practice of writing on a daily basis. Ideally, from here I would go straight to my writing - spend an hour or so on those pages and then get to the day's paying work ... wouldn't that be nice. But as things stand now I have a ms gnawing at my elbow - it's been sitting to my left for a few days now, waiting for me to start work on it. So let me make headway there, and for now be happy that I have stuck to my promise to write here regularly.

I had fun designing my blog's header last night. I've learned how to make brushes in photoshop - so I used some of those. I love the cool frogtree green that I've chosen. It feels calm and productive. Red can be a bit hectic and somewhat instructional.
