Some words of encouragement

Contact tracking
I woke up with fire in my belly this morning. There’s only one thing I can do in those circumstances and that is to create something. I’ve been dancing around the idea of rebooting the audioblog for weeks. This seems as good a time as any to get going aga
Clear on out the back
We watched The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly last night. It’s one of the movies on the IMDB top 100 movies: Thought I’d spend some of my isolation time polishing off the IMDB Top…

The world upside down and on fire
Things continue to intensify here in the UK as Boris Johnson outlined the government’s recommended course for its citizens. Social distancing is highly encouraged to include working from home where possible, no non-essential travel, no…
imagination
I don’t even remember why I went on to YouTube this morning, but I ended up cycling through clips from Seinfeld, which arguably for me, is the greatest sitcom ever. I’ve watched every episode at…

Inspired by this video (how to be a writing god) this morning, I decided to take Beth Dunn’s advice and get better at writing by writing every day. And as she explains in the video,…
