This Is This

I like flying long-haul because it enforces sitting somewhere and doing nothing. Robert Persig, author of Zen And The Art Of Motorcycle Maintenance, said: “Necessity may be the mother of invention, but boredom is sure the father.”

Boredom’s good for creativity, but personally, if I want to be productive, I need a deadline. It’s a balance I guess. I’ve been super productive recently and I need some creative time. Coffee and deadlines will only get you so far, and while you’ll churn out the shit, your ideas may suffer.

Anyway, chances are that if you reading this at some point in your daylight hours on Earth, I’ll be in the sky, and like I said, there will be guest blogger posts here every day. Some of them write for the sites I link to from here, some are criminally under-represented in the field of good writing, so if you like their stuff, be sure to bookmark them, because they do good words over there.

Now, call me ungrateful, but who would go to the trouble of decorating their house for Halloween and get caught out without sweets for trick or treaters?
