Love it. I'm glad I waited till a drizzly Monday morning with some difficult getting-back-on-the-(writing)-horse vibes to read this, it's just what I needed :-)
Thanks Jacqueline - just to reassure no ceramics were hurt in the making of this piece. And yes, it's important to put those voices that prevent us from getting on the writing horse in their place - inevitable, yet conquerable.
So funny. Critical voice about the time your dad stepped on the Lego car! Editor voice critiquing another voice. Add to the list—a Voice From Afar: Please keep writing Ken. We’re all richer for it.
Thanks Geoff, really appreciate it. It was a fun exercise in writing something in another way than the usual, creates a bit of freedom and an opportunity to be more in control of those inner voices - rather than the other way around!
This made me laugh, as I sit here, pressing the refresh button on my email, waiting for a competition result to land, or not! 😂
Thanks for commenting Lesley. And glad it gave you a chuckle. We’ve all been where you are, playing the waiting game - good luck with it!

Great stuff Ken. Perfectly captures the zeitgeist.
Thanks Anna, those pesky inner voices are fun to play with!
