Recently as I perused several
blogs and felt a pang of envy, I realised how much I miss blogging. This feeling
of longing was strange as I have not received much feedback or amassed many
followers. I have had good reason to be awol – see http://ripregnancy.blogspot.com/.
So I have gotten married, had a baby and
recently moved my family back to Lusaka to explore what life may hold for us
here. In this new life, I have started a
contract working as an accountant, which has involved much travel and sapped my
creative juices. As a result blogging,
and writing in general, have been pushed completely out of my mind. I dare say I miss writing a great deal, but
reading through my previous posts, I realise I have been living in a bubble and
been unable to get passionate about things the way I used to. I have also been using what little creative
juices I have to write a novel, which I have neglected over the last few months
for various reasons (more of which in the future perhaps).
I am wondering whether I
can continue this blog, given I am no longer a reluctant immigrant. I still want to comment on the happening's in the West, race and gender but not sure I can continue this under heading. So what are my options? Perhaps to start something
completely new about life in Zambia or to give you a glimpse of my novel? To
move from blogspot, which those in the know say is outdated and take my writings
with me? Any and all advice much appreciated.
For now I am off to add to the novel and see where it takes me.
