It’s a while since I determined to put my addiction to writing to good use. Starting to blog is one outcome from setting this intention and signing up to the Writers* Bureau course is another.

Of course, if alcoholism is anything to go by, the gap between an addiction and any related activity may be insurmountable. Who would imagine that drinking great quantities of alcohol might predispose one to success as a wine taster? Of course, this is not to suggest that the Training Journal Daily Digest is the writer’s equivalent of cheap cider.

Today I take advantage of a day without appointments to take out Assignment 2# and review it before sending it off to my target publication, the Coaching at Work magazine. I don’t know how the magazine’s editor, Liz Hall, might respond – especially after my posting to the Coaching at Work LinkedIn discussion board last week (“Would you coach Nick Griffin?”) aroused her concern that we might unintentionally post content which is “unlawful, libelous, abusive, obscene, discriminatory or otherwise objectionable”. And if the magazine’s submission guidelines are anything to go by, it may be a while before I find out.

For now though, it’s “phew!” I didn’t imagine it would take me quite so long to make final amendments. Soon, I shall start to plan for Assignment 3#. First, though, I have some catching up to do.
