Anyone for a canvas jacket
Greetings,
I was asked how do I get material for my blog. The answer is I don’t know! I often don’t know what I am going to write until I start typing, I just relax, trust and let it flow. This could be a bit worrying because who knows what random, perverse stuff will be dragged up from my subconcious. I think a shrink would have a field day with this and probably have me fitted for a nice canvas jacket with leather straps on the arms!
It’s cathartic though and great exercise for my spell checker. I would recommend blogging not just for the artistic release and a great way of keeping in touch but, as I intend a great way of making some extra dosh.
Through the coming weeks I will be randomly writing about my passions and interests here’s a random list:
Health and fitness, Nutrition, Holistic/alternative medicine, mind-body connection, spirituality, running, workouts, salsa dancing, golf, travel, personal development, psychology, philosophy, financial mastery, making money from the internet (contact me I’ll show you how), contributing to the less fortunate.
A pretty long and diverse list and not complete by any means. I hope there will be enough interest for you to keep tuning in.
Until next time
Ken Barrett

Hi Ken
I know what you mean about the writing. Although I’ve usually got an idea what I want to write about the actual content just starts flowing once I start typing. Occasionally, I’m as curious to see what’s going to be written as I hope my eventual readers will be. Strangely, this writing flow doesn’t happen if I’m trying to use pen and paper.
I tried using voice recognition software. Trouble with that is that it works well if you know all of the sentence you want to write. It seems to think for you a bit and puts what you say into context and results in less spelling errors. A bit like the spell checker can. Unfortunately, I often don’t know how I’m going to finish my sentences when I start them so I kept getting lots of spelling mistakes. Quicker to type it. Works great if I’m reading something out though.
Good luck with your forthcoming book.
Tony
