Ok so my last post on here was pre-lockdown. Then there was nothing.
So what happened to me.
First of all I had to stop writing The Edit. It’s the backstory to a larp where a global pandemic has horrific results. It no longer felt appropriate or right to mess around with a pandemic story as Covid-19 resolved into something that would profound effects on all of us.
So I stopped, and never started again.
Months later I wonder why.
Well first my main story was gone. There was no appetite for thinking about it.
The early days if lockdown saw a throwing myself into sorting things with no idea of what would happen. No sooner was I feeling that when everything in my work life went into overdrive.
It turns out that everyone needs someone who specialises into technology, data and the internet; when the internet becomes the thing that holds of all together.
So with my story no longer feeling right and reality blasting in; the stream of consciousness went unattended. I’d stalled.
It turns out that consciouss can be stalled by a sudden overdose of day to day normallity flipping over and transforming into something else.
The lockdown went on. I stayed busy but an adjusted reality settled in. Its not that time evaporated. Creative thinking became muddied a little. Design thinking and analytical thought soared high. But creating something from nothing hit the backburner with the flame almost entirely off.
I read a lot though. I always have always read and I don’t think anything makes me stop. So seeing new thinks never stopped.
Which takes me how to I feel now?
Well I’ve logged back onto Stream of Conscious and I’m looking forward to seeing what the future brings.
Now for something that may seem contrary.
I’ve started the long process of building a custom online home from my photographs. You can find it at Rob Davies Photos
