OK so "epiphany" is putting it a bit strong but I have had something of a breakthrough. It came while I was painting teak oil onto some external woodwork and it struck me that something that has been holding me back is fear of what other people might think about what slithers out of my subconscious and onto the page.
Particularly I have been worried about what my Mum/wife/kids might think, especially if it got a bit weird.
The minute I had identified and labelled this fear I felt a block sliding away. I don't know if it will make things any easier when I'm faced with a blank page but at least it is one fewer blockers in the road.
And 2300 words followed.
