I Go To Sleep
or at least I will, once I’ve kept up the promise of posting here. Week 1 has been largely triumphant. Of all the achievements, the most satisfying of all is inevitably the quality of my poetic output, which has been significantly nurtured by sympathetic writing spaces. There have been some totally top-draw pieces in the…

The Ninth Wave
There’s the Advert out of the way, and now there is this almost overriding desire to run away. I knew it was coming, but we’re here now, so no avoiding it. It’s time to lean into the life I spent this long working towards and am now not quite sure is wanted any more, because…

Lost and Found
I will look back on this week, in a year’s time, knowing how important it was for everything I became. A body is moving into shape. The requirement to fuel properly has become massively important. I can’t send things away to people and assume automatic failure any more. Most importantly of all, my voice is…

The Other Side
I should have some professional news at the end of September. For now, I am forcing myself to rearrange my lifestyle.

This is the Sea
Normally, I’d tweet the following. Today, I am going to see who comes, looking. Yesterday, I had my first session with a Mentor. It was, to be fair, exactly as I expected it would be. The pivot I was handed on a piece of work I knew full well wasn’t good enough to succeed has,…

One Week
Not actually gone yet. When he has, there will probably be a beer. What a twat he remains, and I do realize this probably royally fucks my chance of being published in certain places ever again. This is my I do Not Give a Fuck Face.

Tusk
Right now, a lot of what I am doing feels as if I am flailing around in the dark with absolutely no lights. It is hard when everyone else around you appears to be notionally doing better, however untrue this may actually appear to be. I know how all the motivational stuff works, how it’s…

The End is the Beginning is the End
The smart amongst you will know this was written after the fact, when I was home, because there was simply not the brain space that existed to properly process at the time. If truth be told, there is still not the space to do that. I’m continuing to break it down and manage the changes…

Yesterday’s Men
Almost Friday. Probably ought to sort out some guerilla marketing…
