Reading time: 0.34 131 words Hey Reader, Dragging my carcass off the sofa is the toughest part of any single thing I ever want to do. Motivation is always juuuuuust out of reach. Over there, behind the biscuits. So what to do??? Inspiration’s cheeky sibling, motivation, is in my firing line this week.

I’m actually surfing right now. But past-me is here for you. ​Check this out: Then sign up for this month’s MicroWorkshop which is called Tasty Hooks and will act as your motivation to write some cool stuff, and improve some stuff you wish was a bit cooler. Book here:

I don’t generally care what the Kardashian Klan are up to, and my grip on celebrity culture is tenuous at best, by design. My heart sank because it’s yet another denial of ageing women. The latest sacrifice at the altar of obsession with youth and this homogenised “beauty” that’s currently trendy. One more erasure of the...

Google “how to write a book” and you’ll find all manner of exhausting advice about what you should (and should not) do. And it’s all contradictory, because all most people can do is tell you what THEY did and then insist that will work for you, too. (It might; it might not.)
