Before I get stuck into yesterday’s goings on at the Edinburgh Book Festival, I want to say a humongous thanks to everyone who has emailed and tweeted me to express their enjoyment of my book festival blogging and tweeting. It’s an unexpected but deliriously welcome compliment.
And now here comes the plug: If you want [...]

I’m struggling to sleep again. The last two nights I was up after midnight in the knowledge I had to get up at 5am for work. As time dragged on, I started to feel the pressure and became more aware I was losing time and couldn’t push my time of rising any [...]

Am I struggling to get back into the daily routine or what? Yes, is the short answer. Taking a week off is one thing, getting back on top of day job requirements afterwards is quite something else and may take me another fortnight the way I’m feeling.
A pal from work (hi Annie) commented [...]

As is typical for an Easter Monday it rained all morning. No worries on my part because my holiday was officially over now and I was back to work, the beauty of that being it was now a holiday for almost everyone else instead. This also meant the buses were running a limited service [...]

A group of us from the office went out for lunch yesterday to Thomson’s Pub on Morrison Street. It’s a traditional Edinburgh bar with a very nice pint, but it’s also famous for one other thing—pies! People come from miles around, and indeed, we travelled from the other side of Edinburgh to get there, [...]

The writing and posting of this blog entry will be my only foray to my PC today. I need to get away from the screen for a few hours after a week doing nothing else but watching cursors and thinking technology. One needs to step away.
I forwent my usual Saturday morning gander [...]

Not a particularly long blog post today as yesterday was swamped. As Monday’s in the day job go, it was a mad one, though I was expecting it as the rota has been packed out for a few days now. Typical it would have to be my week on the “day shift” when it [...]

I actually forgot to blog on Saturday morning. When I got up, I got tore into my “to-do” list for the day and stayed in the zone all day, and I just forgot to do it. When I first remembered it was mid-afternoon and I was lost in other work so I just left [...]

Check out my interview with Blazing Trailers, which was posted on their website yesterday. There were some good questions
Also, if you missed it, check out my gig review in Sunday’s News of the World, this week Theoretical Girl.
Good day’s work yesterday all round. The management have recognised my writing skils and have asked me [...]

I hope you all enjoyed yesterday’s interview with Christina Katz, and probably the break from my insane ramblings. She’s an interesting writer and her book looks like a great investment if you’re a writer and have books out or coming out. I’m certainly ordering my copy!
I seem to have a lot of news for [...]

I nearly never went to the ‘Ten at Ten’ event at the Edinburgh Book Festival yesterday morning, but I’m glad I did. When I got up around 7am I was tired and just wanted to sleep. But I also didn’t want to waste the day. So I forced myself into gear and off [...]

Woke up yesterday with a bit of a cold; stuffed head and nose, sneezing, heavy eyes—you know they type of thing. Maybe I’m working too hard. Or more likely it was because I went to bed topless and woke up during the night shivering after the gales had started.
I’ve been going through a heavy [...]

I had to skip yesterday’s blog post purely because of work pressures—day job and external. None of it you would have found interesting and I was too busy/tired to write the damn thing up anyway.
It’s good to be busy, though, and it’s the kind of work I am really enjoying—day job and external. No [...]
