January Small Stone# Twenty Eight

My Mojo packed its bags in November and hasn’t been seen since. No-one knows where it went, why it went or what it got up to when it was away. I was quite worried about it at first and considered filing a missing Mojo report. But then I got angry instead. I yelled, I sulked, I told it I didn’t care if it never came back, because I had no plans to use it anyway. Then something strange happened – like in all the best stories – just when I came close to giving up, it showed up, acting as if nothing had even happened.

Today I wrote the first draft, nearly three thousand words, of a short story that will be my next assignment for my creative writing course. And breath.

Gilly Mbachu Goldsworthy is a mum to two kids that are supposed to be grown up and mma to a four year old and a new born baby boy. None of that means that I am grown up though! I love writing – travel and quite edgy fiction – and being an OU student for a degree which remains to be seen. What I do best though is counselling; I’ve been privileged to work with many people through big changes.

    Good for you Gilly! Here’s hoping your Mojo is done with playing truant and stays put :-D

    Gilly, I think your Mojo was on vacation with mine. Great that it finally decided to come home, well rested and ready to roll out that first draft! Mine’s back too but hasn’t settled into the writing routine just yet, other than little ‘fits and starts’.

    You could have called in the Mojo hunter… now breathe again…

  8. I agree with silentlyheardonce; it always returns when you stop looking for it!

    Yippie! let’s hope it’s doesn’t take off again.

  10. It’s hard to keep control of our mojo once we pass a certain age. There should be a Mojo for Dummies book. ~~~~~ : – )

    When a mojo goes there isn’t much you can do – except do something else. If you search for it it’s always one step ahead. Glad you sneaked up on it.

  12. GOOD for you Gilly. I lost mine in November after NaNo. I understand exactly where you’re coming from. Happy days!
