Time flies when you're daily blogging. I've written over 300 posts for this site and I've manged to not run out of ideas. If you'd have asked me 300 days ago what I'd be writing about towards the end of 2019 I'd have said 'I'm not sure'. But something I've realised is that each blog … Continue reading 300 and something

Who’s it for?
The answer might surprise you, or not. By 'it' I mean this blog, the words, my writing. I used to think that it was for you, that I was doing this because I had some great message to share with you and that it would hopefully inspire you in some way (or something along those … Continue reading Who’s it for?
Aspirations, assurance and an abundance of ideas
A few months ago I had an idea for my book and I planned to spend my summer writing in-between picnics, parties and Prosecco. But summer came, summer went and nothing ever came of that book idea. Infact, I don't even remember the idea that I had. But then a few days ago I had … Continue reading Aspirations, assurance and an abundance of ideas
What I think of my old blog posts
The words I shared in January weren't perfect. In fact they're on the opposite end of the scale and I winced last week reading through them. My writing style was not where I thought it was. It's wasn't witty, clear, concise and well written like I had hoped. It was scattered with errors and I'd … Continue reading What I think of my old blog posts
Have I said this before?
Umm, actually that's kind of the point. I used to think it was weird that people I followed online were always saying the same thing. I'd read a post or watch a video and think 'you've said that before'. And they had. But then I gave it more thought and realised that it makes sense … Continue reading Have I said this before?
You can’t bypass the brunt
I've learnt a lot by simply looking at my own behaviour and assessing what does and doesn't work. That's a large part of what I write and something that begins as why do I always xyz turns into me learning about a psychological theory, brain stuff and people stuff. Recently I've been learning through practical … Continue reading You can’t bypass the brunt
Maybe writers should try painting
For about a decade I've written almost daily and in the past 7 months I don't think a day has gone by that I haven't written. But I recently started to wonder if I should stop writing. Not altogether but to simply take a break. I'm not sure what the benefits would be but it … Continue reading Maybe writers should try painting
In-flow
I'm experimenting with a different kind of way of writing. It's less rigid and less forced yet still has a focus. I'm writing In-flow, from a place where the words pour out simply and with ease. It makes daily blogging much easier and to be honest maybe it's just a result of blogging daily for … Continue reading In-flow
It might not be great for the environment but…
... I'm still going to do it. I find it easier to write down my words by hand, perhaps because I write quicker than I can type. I can never manage to keep up with myself when I'm writing from my laptop. The keyboard and screen of a phone, computer or laptop is no comparison … Continue reading It might not be great for the environment but…
It’s more than what it is
This blog is more than just a blog. It's a daily blog. It's a writing practice. It's a come as you are space where I feel free to write as I please. It's a habit. It's a commitment. It's a hobby. I've been blogging for years and but I never considered how I would feel … Continue reading It’s more than what it is
