It's an odd thing getting old, cos on the one hand you think "I want to make every day count" but you equally feel "I can't be arsed". Or, "I'm so knackered". I do feel a strong impulse - although that's not the right word, cos it sounds dynamic, it's more like a sort of a kind of prolapse of the will, this spreading swamp of apathy - to never do another book. Yet I also have about six or seven ideas that itch quite strongly. I suppose the point is the process of doing them, rather than some kind of time-defeating achievement. More about being energised in the now.
vintage thoughts from others, vintage thoughts from me - varying degrees of profundity - thoughts quoted for the turn of thought / phrase rather than for truth value - quoted not necessarily because i agree with them or approve of them
