I've always wondered if I was a little bit psychic. So when I saw this notice whilst in Cumbria earlier this year, I couldn't help but take a photo (with apologies to the real psychic Marilyn, of course.)
It all started when I was very young and I used to sense what other people were going to say to me, or know what was going to happen next. It was quite a while before I realised that this didn't happen to everyone. Then I began to get feelings about where I was going to live or work in the future - often it was somewhere I'd never been before. By the time I was in my thirties I'd developed the knack of knowing who was on the end of the phone when it rang. This proved very useful in business as I could often practise the answer to the question in advance!
If all of this is true though, of course, it doesn't make me psychic. The true test came when friends and family started to ask me what was going to happen to them in the future. Quite simply, I had no idea!
Which, thankfully, is why I became a writer. The amazing thing about writing is that you can imagine
anything you like to get the words down on to the page.
It's easier than looking into the future. And so much more
productive. Now where did I put my crystal ball point pen?
