Still working on starting that Magnum Opus

You have to understand this – it’s been warm.

Warmth aside (easy, thanks Dad), it’s also not been so much busy as it has been – distracting.

It’s been hot and I’ve been doing other things.

In other words, I’m still yet to begin that magnum opus I was planning on relying on.

It’s tricky to get started on something when it’s basis is greatness.

Firstly, it requires some ego that can be embarrassing to admit. I think I can write one of great texts – perhaps a novel…or a novella (a longer way to refer to something shorter).

Second, it requires you.

And I’m commonly unavailable. Drunk, or the like. Candy Crush, etc.

And good things too. My children, my wife, working for money.

I even paused this blog to eat my breakfast – though updating people as to contents of breakfast (today – wheatabix and maple syrup) is the purpose of blogging and, to an extent, the internet.

Perhaps the magnum opus will revolve around breakfast.

Perhaps I won’t get around to it.

Earlier I referred to “it” (it’s been hot, it’s been distracting).

I was talking about the times I’m in. You might be in them too.

But when you’ve an ego like mine, you have to believe you’re the centre of the universe – otherwise the magnum opus is all the more unlikely and the only thing written is breakfast.

Breakfast time.
