We’ve all had that invite, where you scratch your head. Um and ah and try desperately to find an excuse to get out of it. A myriad of fake reasons takes shape in your mind “oh sorry, can’t make it, the dog’s just been sick”, “I’ve got a cow just about to calve”, and you KNOW that cow is planning to start calving the minute the party is starting and the wee calf has no intention of popping out until the party is ending. Failing that there is always the old reliable, the “migraine”.

That’s what it can be like with writing sometimes. Excuses, excuses. Yes, I’ll get this job done and then make a start. This job leads into that job and before you know it a whole host of jobs has presented themselves at your door. The washing will still be there tomorrow, that writing idea might have seen itself out of the back door never to return.
