OK,
Leave The Office is evolving. I have no control over this as I am making an effort to feel my way through the development process rather than try and anticipate what people want to read or write what I think I should in order to keep the subject matter on track with my initial idea.

I am being drawn into a direction of writing, which I am not comfortable defining. I don’t see myself as a motivational expert or teacher in any way, but with the experience of learning that I seem to be having at the moment compells me to write along these lines. Some days I sit in front of the laptop with no idea what to write, but knowing that I feel stuck, dis-organised, not knowing where I am heading with anything and full of confusion about whether my ideas and indeed my goals have any substance to them.

By sitting down and just writing I end up with what becomes the latest post and sometimes I read it and it feels like reading something motivating like it’s advice or help or understanding being given to me by somebody else. That feeling is enough for me to know that at that moment at least it’s where this blog needs to be. I suppose what I’m trying to say is that this blog is mainly some kind of personal development log, but some messages I have received form people do make me realise that it is not only relavent material for me. I do hope my posts provide people with something worthwhile to read because that is a huge bonus to why I initially started a blog.

Let me make one thing very clear. I am a very new blogger. I have no idea what I’m doing or what I’m writing about. This isn’t hours of planning for each post and making sure that the writing is of a good enough standard (maybe I should be doing that), but I feel this way, which is the only way I know all my stumbling, mistakes and occasional successes will be documented, so I can see something about myself. If I have a message today then it is this: Don’t be afraid to write anything. Sometimes a post will be boring, sometimes you may write for hours and be really pleased with your masterpiece of writing and nobody cares or gets it or thinks it’ rubbish! Sometimes you’ll just chuck a few lines down and people will be contacting you from all over the world thanking you for your contribution to their lives or for making them laugh.

This is one such post that is basically a random rambling and me not really knowing what I am doing.
