Worth looking back on
This morning, for the first time in perhaps close to a year, I read Seths Blog. I discovered that he had a new book coming out soon called The Song of Significance. I was reminded of what it was like when I first read Seths blog over a decade ago. I then got thinking about … Continue reading Worth looking back on
A challenge worth accepting
At the end of 2021 I decided that I would strip back from trying to daily blog and just stick with 3 blog posts a week. I thought that would make things easier but somehow it seemed harder to keep up with. When I missed a day there was less urgency to catch up and … Continue reading A challenge worth accepting
A good thing worth ending
As the saying goes, all good things must come to an end. The end of something that didn't reach it's full potential is like a kind of heartbreak.

I enjoy writing about being a writer, mainly because it's a title I struggle to attach to … Continue reading Debunking myths about writers
Why I’ll never run out of ideas

The small moment could be watching a film I loved … Continue reading Why I’ll never run out of ideas
Why you’re not inspired to write
Often when it comes to periods where I'm less inspired to write, the problem has nothing to do with writing. For example, if you're busy and overwhelmed throughout the day, when it comes to sitting down to write in the evening it's difficult. It's not that you're not inspired but instead that your mind is … Continue reading Why you’re not inspired to write
I wrote this for you
You know the feeling you get when you read something that resonates. You feel seen, you feel heard and you feel connected, often to a complete stranger. But this person was able to form something that encapsulates a feeling or a moment from your life. It can often serve as a reminder that we're not … Continue reading I wrote this for you
