The Qwertyrash Blogs

A bit of everything: blogging, technology, writing, musings, sport and humor

Where you been? aka Killer Holidays

Well I hope someone has been asking that!

I took a week off with the fam and went to the beach. But I totally lost my momentum. It’s been an effort to fire up again, both here and on Go Play AV.

It’s something to think about. Next time I take a break I need to set in place some means to ensure I hit the ground running when I come back. Maybe a little goal-reward… or maybe start several articles beforehand (coz it’s always the starting that’s hardest). In some ways, it’s a form of writer’s block.

Anyway. Here I am. Back. Will have to think of some intelligent things to say. And I have begun writing for my fictional blog - but you don’t get to see that until there’s at least 10 posts on it.

A spectacular year to all!
