I don’t know how to start, and I don’t know what topic to use for the book, or even in what style to write the book (well, books, really). And I realize that needn’t matter. I’m still not writing a book, though. Let alone books.

Keywords: Me and My Writing
When I was in elementary school, I wanted to be an author. When I realized how many words you have to write to fill an entire book, I decided I couldn’t. For years, there was a little voice in the back of my mind, urging me toward writing. But the voice that told me I wasn’t good enough, that I would never get anywhere, that it was a waste of time … that voice was louder.

I’ve had a blog for awhile now and love having a space to share my writing when I’m working through something sticky that’s happening in my life. It’s where I write and share when I get stuck.

I’m going to be posting a lot at first. Probably around once every day or two. Eventually this will slow down until I’m into a regular pattern of posting on Wednesdays and Sundays (something I stuck to before the writer’s block). At first I don’t think a lot of it will be happy and I imagine there may be some candid things that I put on here.

Names matter. What we call something influences what we perceive and experience. The magic of memory depends upon language. I wanted to call this Blog “Sansaku”, but that name was already taken. It’s a Japanese word my wife gave to me. She had used it for a meditation retreat she was leading. She told me it described the way a philosopher walked, and I decided it was close to the way I liked to write.

One of the biggest benefits of writing regularly is the clarity it brings. Thoughts that feel scattered or half-formed become much clearer once they are put into words. Writing creates space to reflect on experiences, notice patterns and properly think things through rather than letting them pass by unnoticed. I’ve also found that it can also be surprisingly grounding. Taking a few minutes each day to sit down and capture an idea, a moment, or a reaction helps slow everything down slightly and helps me to get my brain in gear, ready to start work. Over time it has also helped to build confidence, because the more I have written, the more comfortable I have become at expressing my thoughts and trusting my own voice again.

When I retired after 37 years teaching I started this blog, partly with the intention of putting forward my views on education. It has now become a way of putting forward my views on just about everything, hopefully in a mostly positive way. It is a way of thinking things through for myself, and is also a small compensation for missing the endlessly interesting chat of the staffroom.

Now, I realize that I had inadvertently given my future self (which is now my present self, imagine that!) a goldmine of memories to read back on. You won’t find my old blog posts anywhere online (lkvy.com was so unpopular that even the Wayback Machine didn’t bother archiving anything): they’re all on two CDs. HUNDREDS of Salon of Shame-worthy posts that I can get embarrassed in secret about.
