A brand new method....

So Im sitting in my usual spot in my go-to coffee shop, having spent the morning putting together a daily plan (again!) These plans definitely have a lifespan before you HAVE to change them up...it’s almost inevitable, I think its because familiarity breeds contempt and routine breeds lax behaviour.

The same principle is behind the P90X training method...they say that doing the same training day in day out leave you a) bored and b) leave yours body with nowhere to go. So variation is the key.So thats how a blog sputters into life eh? ;)

Anyway I really set this up because I have been meaning to do it for ages. Apart from being highly recommended by anyone who has every created anything in the digital age, I think its good to write everyday, just put things down, take a moment in the day to focus on the written word. I’ve always been a big fan of writing but don’t do it enough. I used to do it more while travelling, when my mind slowed down enough and I created enough free headspace to write a story, or a poem or just some ideas. So here is me trying to recreate it.

The new Daft Punk album, Random Access Memories is in my earholes. Rocking. Giorgio Moroder, legend.

What will I blurt onto these pages? Not sure, yet...ideas, thought, memories. It helps that I am reading Stephen Kings "On Writing" at the moment...surprisingly good, with some great lessons on writing.

First blog post.

Over and out.
