I'm a bit behind in my blog reading & podcast listening, but I'm slowly catching up - phew!

Read a fabulous article: http://theswivet.blogspot.com/2008/11/guest-blogger-matthew-cheney-if-only-id.html and found m'self nodding along to several points.

This piece was advice to a younger self and I felt nostalgic reading it. I liken my childhood and youth to a Rubik's cube; several pieces of varying hues that look great put together, but just as great jumbled.

I began to think about adults in my life who encourged my curiosity, but especially my writing/storytelling skills. I talk a lot as an adult and constantly try not to overwhelm other adults with my babble. Perhaps I should write a letter to my younger self or, better still, write, write, write more and talk, talk, talk less.

Thanks to Matthew Cheney for the post and thanks to Colleen Lindsay for allowing Cheney to guest post on her blog, The Swivet. I recently discovered her blog, which was full of useful information to writers, regardless of genre. Huge thanks of course to Mur Lafferty, who linked to the post via her blog/podcast "I Should Be Writing". I listened to her podcast as she appeared on the podcast scene in 2005 and have been a fan ever since. Sure, a behind in listening fan, but a fan nevertheless.

My "currently watching" selection is a timeless fave of mine and one I viewed again, whilst hanging about in a park.

Peace,
