It has been some days, if not weeks, since I last wrote a meaningful diary entry, and I find myself a little uncertain about how to proceed. I don’t think it’s a matter of having run out of things to say, because new things are always happening.
Rather, it feels like a change of focus — a sense that I should be helping other people in their search for community-spirited awareness and enlightenment. I have recently made a valuable contribution with my book Secrets of Village Life in Somerset, which was published around the 26th of November last year, and now I have to summon the motivation to begin properly promoting it.
That is something KDP does not do — nor should they — as they are a printing service, not a marketing one. I have been writing this diary for just under nine and a half years, and I have enjoyed every moment of it. I am keen to ensure that it does not become a chore or something I resent giving time and attention to.
Put another way, my priorities need to be guided by what I believe to be the most important issues, and at present I see that as the state of society in this day and age, particularly the decline of the United Kingdom.
I am hoping that the writing of this piece will somehow fire me in the right direction. Time will tell.
