Thursday 11th May 2017 Rather oddly, a few days before I travel to Canada and the US, I feel the need for a health kick. My diet has been pretty good for the last year but the major thing I did was give up caffeine. For the first couple of weeks I was a total [...]
Wednesday 10th May 2017 I woke up with a scratchy throat this morning and I wonder if this touch of illness has put me a little off colour today. This has been the first day where I really didn’t enjoy vlogging. Maybe the novelty has worn off but I found I was asking myself why [...]
Tuesday 9th May 2017 It suddenly feels like everything has kicked up a gear. I’ve been very busy over the last couple of days having started the vlogs, but yesterday, it felt like the only thing there was to talk about were the vlogs themselves. In terms of things actually happening, there wasn’t very much [...]
Saturday 6th May 2017 Today was a busy and productive day although it was mainly focused on preparations for Chasepalooza! My first order of business was editing The Climb for today. I’d done the graphic yesterday so that was pretty quick to schedule, which is just as well as I had a bit of a [...]
Wednesday 3rd May 2017 The post-novel blues continued today. In fact, if anything, they got a little worse. It’s possible that health-related stress contributed to bringing me down, but I felt very despondent regarding my writing: everything I’m working towards isn’t going to happen, good things that happened were a mistake, I have a false [...]
Tuesday 2nd May 2017 The trouble with finishing a long project like a novel is that I suddenly find myself with time on my hands. And after months of conditioning myself to feel guilty whenever I procrastinate, I now find myself continuously restless because anything that’s not writing feels somehow wrong. It's like stepping off [...]
Thursday 27th April 2017 I dream of a day… I dream of a day when I can get more than five hours sleep before having to get up and ready for work. I dream of an evening where upon coming back from town I have the energy to do more than just sit and procrastinate [...]
Thursday 20th April 2017 Today was a tiring day Despite a late night, I needed to be in an office early. This did nothing for my mood. It doesn’t take a lot of make me grumpy: lack of sleep, lack of food, lack of anything. I had two bowls of porridge in the hope it [...]
Wednesday 19th April 2017 I woke early this morning, which was a little annoying given that I got to bed late. However, I suspect that because I had to be in the office early it was my body clock just being cautious. It was early enough to want to go back to sleep but late [...]
Tuesday 18th April 2017 It always amazes me when people actively get in the way of your aims. I have a hard job understanding why. It’s almost as if they resent the fact that they acknowledge your progress. They’ll actively throw roadblocks in your way, sometimes under the guise that they think it will help [...]
