Let&#8217;s find out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-white-background-color has-background\">First of all, my name&#8217;s Jon, not Pat. Why? Well, because I came across the domain and thought it was a cool name for a blog. There&#8217;s nothing to say I have to have the same name, is there?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-rounded\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/patsblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Me-2.png\" alt=\"Who's Jon? This is Jon\" class=\"wp-image-772\" width=\"203\" height=\"204\" srcset=\"https:\/\/patsblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Me-2-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/patsblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Me-2-100x100.png 100w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 203px) 100vw, 203px\" \/><figcaption><strong>Jon<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-white-background-color has-background\">That said, I&#8217;m not actually sure if I looked for &#8216;Jons blog&#8217;. Anyway, I like it and that&#8217;s what counts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-white-background-color has-background\">Furthermore, If I&#8217;m being honest (which normally indicates a lie is about to spew forth), I must have a thing about names. I enjoy writing under a pseudonym or &#8216;nom de plume&#8217; if you prefer. In truth (another lie coming?) this is the first time I have written under my real name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Who&#8217;s Jon? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-white-background-color has-background\">Who&#8217;s Jon? Or should I say, who&#8217;s Pat? Well, I&#8217;m a fifty-four-year-old househusband and a father of four who&#8217;s found a penchant for writing. This began at the start of 2019 and although the flame has diminished over the last six months, the underlying hunger is still there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Writing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-white-background-color has-background\">Writing is like most anything, the more you do it, for the most part, the more accomplished you become. For the record, throughout 2019 and 2020 I was prolific, no two ways about it. <br>It seems I had an ability to write meaningful nonsense, quite the skill, I&#8217;ll have you know. <br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-white-background-color has-background\">Furthermore, I was hammering out post after post, pretty much on a daily basis and loving it. However, it soon became more of an obsession. I found that if I didn&#8217;t write something on a given day, a dark cloud would descend and I would turn into a major grump.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Inner Reflection<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-white-background-color has-background\">After a spell of inner reflection, I realised that I had to stop. That was at the beginning of this year and it&#8217;s taken me until now to find the desire to put pen to paper once more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-white-background-color has-background\">In addition, there was the question of another year&#8217;s subscription that was imminently due and I just couldn&#8217;t justify it, sad but true,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-white-background-color has-background\">Evidently, I haven&#8217;t lost the knack of writing nonsense, which is nice. Time to wrap things up as I can see heads starting to nod. As always, the pleasure is mine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Really, who&#8217;s Jon?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-white-background-color has-background\">In addition, as a footnote, moreover a PS or an NB, neither of which I know how to use correctly, this post (page) is a kind of an &#8216;About Me&#8217; even though I haven&#8217;t really said that much about me.<br>Fear not, this is just &#8216;your starter for ten&#8217;, there&#8217;ll be more, I promise (cheques in the post etc.) <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Introductions Fantastic, I finally managed to put fingers on keys.
