One of my favorite scenes in a recent movie is in “The Kings Speech” when King George is pacing in Westminister Abbey while the speech therapist is sitting on the coronation throne:

Lionel Logue: Listen to you? By what right?
King George VI: By divine right if you must, I am your king.
Lionel Logue: No you’re not, you told me so yourself. You didn’t want it. Why should I waste my time listening?
King George VI: Because I have a right to be heard. I have a voice!

I have on occasion felt like King George in the scene above. Writing that used to come relatively easy, has been a bit slow lately. Very slow.

Several friends of mine asked me when I’ll start writing here again. I never had a good answer, other than “sometime soon.”

I am starting to crawl out of that hole, however. I miss writing. I miss the storytelling. Most of all, I miss my voice.

I have a lot of material in my head. Some of it is sadly not for public consumption, while some of it will be put here, in due time.

And photography. It took almost 6 months to get my equipment replaced from the break-in and theft earlier this spring. That also got in the way of a project I have in the works, which I’ll be picking up again as well.

Look forward to seeing more on here, both in writing and picture.

After all, I have a voice.
