Unblocking the blog

I haven't posted for some time now, been kinda busy with other things. I tried my hand at writing a play which I have almost completed. I need to read it a few more times so that I can get some more inspiration to tweak and improve it. Having said that, I must add that writing the play was a truly rewarding and fulfilling experience. Maybe one day I can get it produced.
I am busy reading a very interesting and inspirational book, (On the advice of Amanda, Darren's lovely girlfriend) it is called "The Artist's Way" by Julia Cameron. It is "a spiritual path to higher creativity" The book is a twelve week course designed to unblock the creativity in us. So far it has made very interesting reading. I am only on page 20 and already I'm feeling more inspired than I have for a long time. Watch this space to witness the results. Hopefully, my inspiration for painting will improve as well.
The mildest New Zealand winter in living memory has come back to bite us in the arse. It is supposed to be Spring but the weather has turned foul with rain, wind, snow. Forcast for this weekend: Generally shitty. Until next time, have a good one.
