I wish, as some have done; I would start again. Delete this blog with its badly spelt beginnings and aggressive punctuation. To be rid of its ancient nonsensical articles that get more visits than all the others combined. But as there were other blogs I’ve started, maintained, left to lie fallow and then made private out of sheer embarrassment it seems so sad to do the same again.
I'm sorry, you weren't my first as I let you beleive, but you were the best and longest lasting
It might have been nice If I’d combined my older blog from before I came to Spain with this one, it would, in a few ways at least, be interesting thing to look at.
I suppose it’s in the nature of my approach to writing that this will happen.
Like the very worst mother; once I’ve given birth I forget about the offspring. Now its parasitic themes and words have been expelled from my body all that’s left is that paradoxical feeling of no longer feeling a constant sensation. Not unlike the emptiness you feel after taking a shit. As it has happened before and will happen again why would starting anew be the way for me?
So I say “no” to revolution, but I am currently trying to polish this chamber pot of shit. Then I’ll be back for good*.
And thanks to those who start again and offer encouragement.
Ever wondered how they translated "Hasta la vista Baby" from "The "Terminator" into says in Spanish?:
*”For good” means until the next time I’m bored, too tired, too ill, found a new toy etc.

So use it when you want it. Who says you have to nurture your blog like a baby? It will still be there if you stop for one, two, six months, whatever. It will be here whenever you feel like writing, and when you don't feel like it, you don't have to.
Honestly Neil, you write like you love it and like it's something you need to do, so I'm fairly certain you'll be doing it. So I don't think it's a question of writing or not but whether or not you are gonna keep your writing in a word document hidden in a folder in your computer or in a notebook under your bed for no one to see. Or are you gonna share it?
I hope you decide to share your talent, whether you scrap this and start over or just come back to it at some point.
Like I said, I'm keeping you in my reader. If you start over, I hope you give me a head's up.
Perhaps the post's title was more final than I meant it to. "Hasta La vista" would have been better, meaning that I've finally got some drive to start writing again. and I'll see you again soon. Or, as you guessed correctly. start publishing here again, as I'm always writing somewhere
