Four Years!?
Yesterday, I got a notification from WordPress to tell me Happy Anniversary! It’s been four years since I started this blog, I’ve written over two hundred posts, which is almost one a week for that whole time! It’s also the fourth I year I’m doing NaNoWriMo, which feels pretty big. I’ve been asked a number…

Choose Your Own Adventure!
It’s November and that means it’s NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month) time again. I got off to a slow start but I’m cracking along now. I have a very dull/not busy/not hard job at the moment and I’m able to do quite a lot of writing while I’m there. It makes the time go faster…

Homecoming Blues
Is there such a thing as post-travel blues? Because I’m pretty sure I have them. I’ve been back for exactly a week now and I still feel pretty lost and untethered. My trip was, at least in part, a celebration of the end of my second degree; a first step towards a new phase in…

Goodbye to the Fringe
It’s my last day at the fringe*, I’m leaving early tomorrow and I feel a lot of things. I admit a fair whack of what I feel is tired, I didn’t get home till nearly 4am last night after the Crap Music Rave Party, but there are other feelings too. I think if Tomas Ford…

Self-indulgent café poem
I thought it would be best to give this post a title which describes the content. But first, a little bit of a run down of my Edinburgh Fringe Festival experience now that I’m more than half way through. I have written down the name of every show I’ve seen so far along with how…
