Life Quest (and other stuff)

I don't know about you, but for me an iPhone has been a lovely idea, a definite want, but not really a need. I say this of course with my new iPhone in hand, typing this post, so you will be forgiven if you find me slightly contradictory. I can justify this purchase of course - it is convinient for keeping in touch, it has features and access to applications that makes my business easier to run, the planets aligned (it actually did - my contract was upgradable the day before the 4s launch), my husband has one, etc etc. But in the end it doesn't matter why I got it. And I know there might be very valid reasons to have considered a different phone (I didn't). The fact is that I very quickly realised that the iPhone is for me. I love it. And now I can play Angry Birds too ;)

As a copywriter I am expected to know what to say. To take the information behind a product or service and turn it into a message that is easily understandable, promotes, sells and often, is expected to be clever too. With enough insight into a product or service this can be accomplished. Yes, sometimes it can be difficult, harder work than one might think to get to text on the page, but (so far) it is always doable. It is not so easy when the words are my own. When the message is personal, my words are not only harder to find, but it is harder to let go. How do I know for sure that what I mean is what you will understand? How do I even know what I mean is what I understand? So I keep working at it, dissecting sentences in my mind, trying to find the words. The right words. Enough of that. It has been months since I blogged and even with some of that time spent trying to find the right words, I may just end up putting it off until I have no voice left. So I’m stepping away. Gettin...

I have been quiet here, I know. I am moving forward, one little step at a time. And I will get back to blogging and my life quest. Soon, I hope. In the past month, my miscarriage is what filled my head, and having a baby is still what I think about most at the moment. But I am looking forward to this new year, and hopefully new beginnings. So, happy new year, may it be miraculous.
