Just a quick note

With Christmas 2016 over and all of our many visitors departed for their homes, we now await the arrival of the 'New Year'. We had an awesome time catching up with family and friends. Christmas is a time to ponder and reflect and although normally seen as a joyous occasion it is often also an emotional period for some, and like most this year was no different.

Despite the busyness of the Christmas period, I've had the opportunity to do some writing and review some of my various projects of current stories of which I've selected a particular storyline which I'm sure will please most. Look out for a post early in January where I'll leave a short synopsis to hopefully get the reading juices flowing. Who knows? I may just get to publish another novel in 2017.

That's it from me for the year, I think. I hope your festive season was fruitful and also joyous. I'm currently sitting here typing with my youngest granddaughter, Zoe 9 months old today, on my lap who is watching me type with keen interest, despite the hic-cups. Future writer?

I'd like to finish this blog today with a huge 'Thank You' to all who have supported me and my endeavours to contribute to the world of literature. As always I appreciated every comment or notation left or sent, it fires up my creativity and encourages and inspires me to keep on writing, cheers all.

Yours Sincerely

Rick

Tempus Fugit

I wrote this post a while ago and recently discovered it was still sitting as a 'draft' so I thought I'd post it anyway as it's still as relevant today as it was the day I wrote it.

Tempus Fugit. Well "time" certainly does fly doesn't it? Or so it seems anyway. But why? Time management or the measurement of the time process through systems developed by intelligent beings (humans no doubt) has been recorded since the beginning of time itself, someone has been keeping track. The Ancient Egyptians and the Ancient Mayans documented and recorded the passing of time thousands of years ago. Modern society sees time as an important commodity and measures it through the use of time pieces such as clocks, watches etc.
Time is important (apparently) in the business world as time waits for no one.
