Did I miss you?

I haven't touched the computer for a few days. Did I miss the sound of the keyboards and the constant low buzz of the hard drive?? Yes, damn it, I think I did! But in a love/hate way.
I have enjoyed my weekend away from typing, because, let's be honest, there has to be life outside typing a story, right?
Dancing with Clerical Error down in Evesham was lovely, being outdoors, camping, no sleep and hearing other people's noises, well, yeah, it was great! The dancing anyway!
But I missed the comfort of home, the walls that enclose me and cocoon my body as I write my imagination onto the screen - it was like coming home to an old, reliable friend.
At the same time, I fought the urge to look on line, to search the web or to write anything as soon as I came home, why did I do that? To prove I am not just an author? That my life does not have to evolve around a computer screen and a keyboard? Does it????
No, of course not, but to be an award winning author, there has to be dedication, perseverance and commitment and I like to believe I have all of those things.
Like I say, I am a variety of things to a multitude of people - Mother, Wife, Daughter etc, it is important to remember that whatever else I am, I am ME, pure and simple.Whether I can be found indoors, working, or outdoors, playing. I remember the quote I wrote in Echoes, 'Live life, never merely exist'.
