Yesterday, somewhat on an whim, I started this blog. Today, I want to talk about my intentions. Who knows, maybe soon I’ll be able to te!l you you I’m doing it.
So what am I hoping to do? To post regularly, that’s for sure – maybe three times a week. I also have an idea of what I’m going to be writing about: my Christian faith and Christian spirituality – that’s the biggie. Then there are my other interests:
- reading (oh what an incorrigible bookworm I am!);
- digital discoveries, tricks, and tips (believe it or not I’m quite a convinced technophile, despite my age);
- food (I like to cook, and after all, I do live in Italy);
- writing (yep, that’s one of my things: I’ve published a novel and collection of poetry, and hope to publish more);
- ‘topography’ is what I suppose I’d call the last; Genoa, this wonderful city where I live, trips to other places, and above all my walks.
Now here’s the thing: if I aim to spend half my time writing about faith-related issue, then alternate those pieces with the other interests, and there being five of them, I could alternate between faith and each of the other interests in turn. I hope that doesn’t sound too mechanistic, and I won’t be sticking to this format ‘religiously’, but it at least it provides me with a sense of direction to get me going…
Finally, it’s time to come clean: I do know why I’m doing this; or at least, what has started me off. I’ll say more about that next time.
