The Lifestream of Jon Moss

talking about writing and blogging

April 16 2007, 7:48pm

So I did my bit at Little Big Voice at the weekend. It was magic - lots of smart, interested people in a rural setting; healthy lack of cynicism about pretty much everything; a desire to do, make and try new stuff. Very good, and I would like to publicly thank the smart people at howies for making it happen.

Tony, Russell and another nice man take part in the writing experiment

It also seems to have had the strange effect of helping Russell to decide to stop blogging about planning. So I thought I would take this opportunity to say thank you to Russell. Without his blog, I might not have started doing this, and that would been sad, because I've enjoyed posting stuff up here, and I've met loads more smart people as a result. I've been able to air my thoughts, share dumb videos, make friends, talk about things that aren't related to my day job. It's been a breath of fresh air.

My blogging powers have waned slightly of late, but that's because the sun's coming out, the garden beckons and I've realised that posting stuff on here is no substitute for doing things, nor is it an adequate replacement for talking to people or hanging out with my family.

So please excuse me if things get a tiny bit quieter during the summer months.
