A real surprise in the process of my 100 day shoe and writing challenge is the real joy that I have found in the documenting part. As a teenager I used to write all the time as a way of sorting my thoughts; carrying around with me a pen and notepad at all times and pulling it out to capture ideas, images or moods. What happened to that? In a box in our storage room I still have material for what I though would be my first big novel and that I’ve started to work on half a dozen times before life, work and stuff kept getting in the way. And while I know I will never likely come up with a Catcher in the Rye it strikes me that somewhere deep inside I still harbour the dream to put my thoughts into print.
Shoes of the day are red Marc Jacobs heels bought on my very first trip to New York. A mass of very fake pearls from a flea market match the little pearl on the front of each shoe.
These days I carry my laptop with me more than I do a pad and pen but maybe my literary breakthrough is still not out of reach…
