It’s Cold in Here

I’ve been standing on the edge for a long time.

Years in fact.

I’ve dipped my toe in on the odd occasion, but I’ve always scurried back to safety, taking refuge in my comfort zone, where I can critique the technique of others, without having my own efforts as a comparison, lest it be unfavourable.

I’ve psyched myself up to take the plunge – “I’m going to start tomorrow” – more times than I can possibly count. I have some friends telling me, “it’s lovely once you’re in” and I have other friends telling me, “go on, do it. You’ll enjoy it, and I’ll enjoy watching you.”

But I never did.

Not until today.

The moment has finally arrived. I’m here. I’m in.

I’m blogging. There really is no going back now.
