Pitons


I had another thought about writing this morning, and about this blog specifically.

It’s like the pitons you hammer into a rock face to enable you to climb it. Each blog post marks a step forward in my career as a writer-person, and because I’ve marked it I can’t slip back. The blog forces me to progress, it’s my means of progressing, because I can’t keep wittering on about the same old problems.

Whether it has any value for anyone else, I wonder, but if I didn’t do this thing publicly it wouldn’t be nearly so powerful. In fact, I don't think it would work at all.
