This is what it has cost me to produce this website.
Not being computer savvy, I have spent months grappling with obstacles, complexities doubts and delays.
It all started when I decided to write a blog.
For months, I did nothing about this blog, apart from scratching around the edges and locating the whereabouts of my rag-tag collection of poems, prose, rhapsodies and reminiscences. This task necessitated sieving through documents spread over four desktop computers, three laptops, two tablets, a cell phone and several decades.
Additionally, some of my works dated back to the days of quill pens and carrier pigeons, and were scribbled in dog-eared exercise books, or on yellowing sheets of writing-paper.
I finally hauled them all together, collating and cataloging as I went.
Still no sign of a blog .
Then, about six months ago, I came across a lovely, gentle, readable blog, written by an old school friend. Just the thing for a summer's day by the sea, or a winter's evening in front of the fire.
I was inspired!
Taking up virtual pen and paper, I embarked tentatively on my blog and was amazed to experience a sudden, massive surge in creativity. My brain was on fire - I had so much to write about. It would be gratifying to assign my writings to a place of their own and a great relief to unburden myself of the discursive fragments of my various forays into literature .
At last, I am in a place where I can claim to have a working web-site. I shall officially launch it on the general public in a day or so. I do hope that you will drop by and dig deep into all the nooks and crannies. If you like what you see, please make a return visit in a week or so as I shall be downloading stacks of new material.
