Eureka

This is the reason I love writing. Last week I finished something I had been working on for some time. But for the last few weeks I have been a bit lost knowing that once this script was finished I was bereft of things to write. It wasn't exactly writer's block but frustrating all the same. So I was delighted last night when lying in bed inspiration came. I started writing an outline this morning and all of a sudden things are brighter. I feel happy having the machinations and plots of the characters I am writing about in the back of my head.

That is why I love writing. Having something to look forward to. We all need it.

The Ashes

I have to say I thought we had no hope with The Ashes this year but apparently it is not as straightforward as that. Australia are not the team they were wthout McGrath, Warne and Gilchrist and crucially Stuart Clark appears absent to. Despite that they are still quite a team.

It was heartening yesterday that England did not fold as they tend to do on the first day of most Ashes series. The talk amongst those who know more than I is that they may well give The Australians a series. H.ere's hoping

ermm...

Regarding that last post I think I got caught up in the moment and forgot how transitory the public and media's attention to such things are. I do think she was iconic. But she has been quickly forgotten.
