What to write about
I’m having a great time keeping up to date with the blogging journey of a friend of mine. And I mean keeping up — he must post at least three times a day. And I have found it inspiring. I used to write often back when I’d commute to work. But weirdly since working remotely…

I am…
I found this via the WordPress Jetpack app. Originally posted on “Lost In Amberland“ I am a breeze, rustling through the Autumn leaves. Crisp clean air that revitalizes the land. I am a ray of sunshine, blanketing the Earth with my warmth. Providing the light for all life. I am the rain, washing the dust…

On Keeping a Commonplace book/site
From Wikipedia: As soon as I heard about the idea of a commonplace I was immediately interested and wanted to start keeping one myself. But then I soon realised — my website is kind of on the way to becoming what I would call my own commonplace. I tend to write about a bunch of…

It’s been a while
I’ve not been writing as often as I’d like this last week. Partly this is due to my having done the Birmingham International Marathon last Sunday and being in recovery from a knee injury from that. But I know that’s a pathetic excuse – there’s always my phone that I can write posts on after…

Stop worrying about your niche – just write
Every single regurgitated blog post I see about starting a blog always says the same thing – find a niche and focus on targeting it. This can be a toxic idea as it has the power to both limit you and paralyse you from writing. I’m not saying you shouldn’t have a focus in your…

“Visits” are real people too.
When trying to write every day, I find myself looking at my WordPress dashboard to see how many visits I’ve had up to that point. When the bar chart goes way higher than the average I get excited; when it is lower or completely empty I get down. Sitting down to wait for my dinner…

Taking my blog too serious
I’m finding I’m taking my blog way too seriously. Instead of just writing; checking; and publishing, I’m leaving posts in draft worried they are not professional enough. This is stupid. This website is for me and me alone. I’m currently writing (have written) a long post about my experience with playing Life is Strange and…

A Deeper Appreciation For Music
As I’m writing this current review, of Bat For Lashes’ latest album, I’m realising that I’m gaining a deeper understanding of the songs than I would have done simply from just listening to them. I’m finding myself focusing and even studying the music and the lyrics and feel like I’m getting so much more out…

On writing my album reviews
Three weeks ago I launched a new website side-project. This was a purely creative outlet for me, doing something I’ve wanted to do for a while — write album reviews. Well, they’re not specifically reviews; more like recommendations. When I hear albums I want to share with people, I now try to write a little…

I’ve only written three album reviews so far and I’m already worried that I’m going to run out of original things to say.

Inner critics and just getting on with it
I have just written this post and then lost it without saving. I am annoyed. That said, I’ll try and rewrite without rushing too much. I’m always tinkering around with this website. As a result I tend to sometimes get bored with it. I feel the design just looks dull and uninspired, and find that…
