While the weather is getting warmer and I have had lunch in the garden for the first time this year, this has been a squeaky month economically due to an unforeseen expenses. So, my shopping trips have been cut to basic minimum and a lot of time has been spent around the house and garden.
I haven’t managed to make progress with any of my songs for a few reasons. I set up my equipment to record in my dining room and then promptly got notice of a house viewing of potential buyers. All packed and away with the house neat and tidy, about a week later I set all the equipment up again. Unfortunately the weather turned rather cold and I stayed in my warm kitchen, although my enthusiasm had faded at this point too. I have four weeks before I fly to England for a 10 day visit, and two to three weeks after I will begin working in the restaurant. If I am to make any progress it needs to be soon or it won’t happen until September.
On the up side, a Parisian couple have since been back for a second look at the house and I am waiting to learn if they are interested or not in making an offer. I am past worrying about selling the house now, although moving would give me a chance to live somewhere more sensible and easier to manage and heat.
I have managed to keep mainly positive, although I have had a couple of low days… but, I have a waistline again and I feel so much better.
The first event is my trip to England, a visit to my daughter and a couple of great concerts. My ex, and mother of my daughter will pick me up from the airport I will stay at her house for a day and then we travel to West London for the first concert and to meet up with my daughter. I think that I will probably travel to my daughter’s the following day. I have to think seriously about talking to her about my life – that will be an emotional and difficult hurdle for me to overcome. I will have to pick my moment. I expect tears from us both.
The other event is the start of my summer work, cooking in a restaurant but not as Sophie. In France and on my home turf so to speak, I have not come out to anyone yet. Plus it would be so complicated here if I were to try and work as Sophie – just too soon and too much of a trauma to deal with. At least I will be physically fit and ready for the hard summer work..
The year is seaming to pass so quickly already….
What’s up, the whole thing is going sound here and ofcourse every one is sharing facts, that’s actually excellent, keep up writing.

First of all I would like to say excellent blog! I had a quick question which I’d like to ask if you do not mind.
I was curious to find out how you center yourself and clear your head prior to writing.
I’ve had a difficult time clearing my thoughts in getting my ideas out there.
I do enjoy writing but it just seems like the first 10
to 15 minutes tend to be lost just trying to figure out how to begin. Any recommendations or tips?
Appreciate it!

Thank you for your kind words.
I have never felt that I needed to ‘centre myself’ as you suggest, I have always enjoyed writing and understand its power and use in analysing my thoughts and ideas, and a way of sharing them with others. The act of writing an article does not happen in one sitting or without re-writes and countless edits for me. The refining of your first draft improves the flow and structure, clarifies the points you are trying to make and makes it a more interesting work. Using words creatively but in a controlled way to keeping it uncomplicated, while telling a story takes time to develop, as does any skill. I can only suggest that it is better to write something than nothing to start with. Perhaps a title is a good starting point to give you focus from the first words. Remember that nothing you scribe is cast in stone, any of it can be changed, edited and re-written or replaced. It’s a learning process that happens with more ease and the more time you spend writing. Your time is one of the most precious things you will ever possess, use is carefully and wisely. Writing and sharing is a selfless act when done without the expectation of reward. Good luck and don’t give up.
