35. Creative Writing

Another area where I’m improving is typing – although that’s speed, NOT accuracy! My typing has certainly got faster, but that’s just because I type so often. I’ve actually started my screenplay that I keep threatening to unleash on the world, but I only do one hour a day on it maximum. It’s all I can fit in. I have to stick to an hour even if most of that is thinking time – though I write ideas down all the time.

I was stuck without a pen the other day, so I rang myself up and left the idea as a message! – I often do that with songs I write, as I don’t carry a tape recorder around with me.

I have a friend who’s 80 later this year. When I told her I intend to beat Johnny Depp to an oscar she said “I wish you’d get on with it”. So I am.


Why not put an hour or two a week aside to do what it is you truly want to do? If you did the two hours together it’d just be like doing a nightschool class. You’d probably look forward to it all week.
