Ten years ago, I entered the working world. I had, for many
years, flirted with the idea of journalism, but - in the end - settled for
corporate life and the predictability of a payslip.
Since then I have frequently wondered whether I got that
decision right.
This blog is a test. I want to see if I can write clearly,
cope with deadlines and think of interesting things to say. If it is wildly
successful, then it will suggest I got one of the most fundamental decisions of
my life completely wrong. It will also be wonderful! If, however, these words
are read solely by me (plus my immediate family and, obviously, you), then it
will be evidence of my excellent judgement. Either way, I'm guaranteed
a good result.
While I want to test myself, I am also going to ease in
gently. I am setting a target of one post per week, on Wednesdays, starting tomorrow. I do not expect a large readership, but -
should I become the next Andrew Marr - then my future biographers can enjoy the
sensation of seeing where it all began...
