the return of the unprodigal blogger

This or that way? Where did it go?

Here she comes with large steps, boots smeared with mud, no, not really, just your casual home wear to keep the feet warm in this cold Winter. 

Does she bring heaps of inspiration? No.

Does she have loads of blog posts just wanting to be written? Nope.

Does she have some answers for her strange behaviour of late? Yes.

Does she miss blogging? Yeaaaaah.

(I recommend this third-person dialogue, it's so liberating when you need to address yourself, try it!)

I haven't been able to blog much but I have been writing a lot. I wrote a fair bit for myself and then I wrote an even bigger chunck for educational reasons - because I had a big english exam to prepare to and I would write everyday. I can hear your cries of interrogation. "Ah english? Why would you need to study that? You write english perfectly." Well, ah, that's where you're wrong. I did have to study and I'm glad I did because every day that I wrote and did exercises I realised more and more how little I knew of english and how limited my blogging vocabulary was. I have no doubt in my mind that blogging has really helped me to practice these last few years, but it doesn't teach you how to write proposals, or complaints, or ...

I could have still used the blog to practice even further, that's true, but this obligatory writing drained me. And what is more, I've been a lot less imaginative as of late, maybe because I had to channel all the imagination to these writing tasks, but I'll tell you now - not having imagination sucks. I need to get mine back. What to do? What to do?

I appreciate that many of you still haven't given up on me, even when I used pretend-Winter posts with stuff that was written in the Summer or when I posted videos with only a quick hello. And now I'm off to enjoy my solar return and hopefully the return of my imagination as well. One can only hope.
