BLOG Losing my religion? That's me in the corner..... I have been thinking why things annoy me. Most of the time people don't really set out to annoy me - I get annoyed with them. Then I get upset and they will never know. If you think about it you are flattering yourself if you think people sit around plotting how to upset you, if they are they are INSANE and that is very different from you thinking they are setting out to annoy you each day. In my world #babybernie 'tries his luck, and I'd rather have a curious child
BLOG What do you most know about #blogging Bernie? What do you most know about blogging Bernie? Is a question I am never asked. If I was an industry expert and was 'often' asked that question I'd be able to start this blog by saying 'I am often asked by my clients...' I have to say by this stage of the game it is all about fear, not tech, crafting words, SEO or anything useful and billable. Just fear. Even more than the type of fear a Tory politician experiences when asked to sign an transparency deceleration. Honestly I am quite sure that e
BLOG Why blogs beat podcasts.... I had to stop listening to podcasts. Every time listened to one I would copy something said into my own podcast. I craved to be part of the podcasting gang. "I listened to your episode"was what I thought podcasters would expect me so say. This meant I listened to every episode just in case they asked. They never did. Even worst I could not help but borrow ideas and lines to the point where I became paranoid. I feared that people would know I got that question from Mitch Joel or Neville Hobson.
BLOG Why I'm not a writer - YET Ramsey has a blog post by Blog Tyrant that I make myself go back to every so often. "Why you are not a writer" is a list of what we do instead of writing. That list of important things like ‘getting set up to write’ that take longer to get ready than actual writing. I spent last week beating myself up a bit I because I set out to blog everyday in 2015. Blogging everyday is not going well, I write everyday but I don't post every day. I 'forget' or 'wait to finish' a post. Chose yourself The
BLOG Write as I am. So here how the day goes. Or rather how my writing goes. What I think I mean is "how my writing does not go." This time I am aware of it. I wake up, I POWER out cutting edge prose on 750words.com and then get ready for something. Does not matter what, it involves trying to leave the house with a small child and get to a bus stop. I then gaze out the window of the bus and reflect on how good I am to have written everyday for so many days. (Short aside) A big part of being 'fixed' / mended /
BLOG Neill! Neill! Orange Peel! So #babybernie has moved it all up a gear. As I write he has piled up the cushions from the sofa and is lying on top of them by way of protest. The 'disruption' is over cooling down his porridge which spoon to use. You would think I had put all his toys and his best friend in a microwave, turned it on full power and was making him watch it all melt into one - with the volume turned up. Yesterday we stood in our road for fifteen minutes while he refused to move. There was something like 100 m
