Life just has a way of intruding into your routines. My expectations for the past 6 or more weeks have certainly not been on track. Partly, this was due to enjoying the summer, but I was also distracted by family matters, as a result I have not being doing much in the way of writing recently. The same is true for social media where I have largely been just ghosting, or perhaps haunting is a better term. There has always been an intention on my part to get back to where I was, but, I have to admit, the commitment just was not there. I do not know why. Perhaps, I am coming to a crossroads in my endeavour to be a writer, or perhaps I am just getting older. Your perspective changes as you age and what seemed important in your youth seems much less so when you attain a certain age. I
You need time out when life catches up with you
So put your feet up, chill and have a brew,
Then get back to doing what you do,
Cos you’re good at it!
Here I am experiencing life in another era
Cos your writing made it clearer
Saxons, Danes, England, Norway , France,
Woven on the pages, keep me in a trance,
Imagination, fantasy, research too
Spill from the pen of the writer in you.
So take your time out, have some love and laughter
Then get back to work on the next story chapter.
You know it makes sense!

That is the first time that anyone has posted a reply as a poem and I really appreciate it! I will be continuing with my writing, everyone whoever does anything creative knows that we are vulnerable to a little self-doubt every now and then. Thank you for your kind words.
