After a lovely few weeks at the coast, I’m back at work. Well, sort of. I’m sitting in my office thinking, doodling, writing, editing but my brain hasn’t yet switched on fully after holidays. I have a new project that has occupied nearly all available space in my head for the past few months and I nearly feel ready to write. Staring at a blank screen or page is unsettling, to say the least.
But at the same time, it’s exciting to set off on a creative adventure, not knowing what direction, shape or form it may take.
