Knee-Jerk

I’ve been meaning to start a blog for a while but never quite had enough to say.

That’s strange because I have an opinion about everything and I do write a lot. A lot of email in particular.

Then my brother started blogging and I found myself wanting to respond to every post. That’s when I realised that I write best when I’m writing to someone.

It’s easier.

It’s easier to respond than it is to initiate. It’s easier to critique than it is to create. It’s easier to give advice than it is to build. And it’s certainly easier to give a knee-jerk reaction than any sort of original action.

Might as well accept it…
