You need a thin and thick skin to write and promomote your work
14 Nov· Blah Di Da
It's a contradiction to hold brutality and tenderness while writing, And promoting your work can feel like shouting about your whispers. You need both. Not only for writing but to promote your work, too.

Writing breakthroughs have no linear progression
7 Nov· Blah Di Da
A bunch of times I thought i'd plateaued with my writing. And then, bam! Another level. It can happen after years of banging your head on the same wall, and it can come all at once.

Life and death and writing
12 Sep· Blah Di Da
I've always loved the idea of radical acceptance, or whatever new-agey people call it. I struggle with it, so writing about it always helps me understand it, grasp it..

Taking a break from writing
5 Sep· Blah Di Da
Relaxing is hard work for me. Sometime I feel like who I am is too tied up in the stuff I make. So it's interesting to force myself to just be a person without the magic of creativity.

Writing my new book with small-big thoughts (out today!)
29 Aug· Blah Di Da
"YOU'RE GOING TO BE OK... " is probably my favourite book. You can find it in the link below. It's sorta fitting this is me 100th episode. The book is made from bits and pieces from all my poems across all my books. Just the juiciest most combustible lines.

Stuff learned from my first spoken word performance
22 Aug· Blah Di Da
Well, that was a leap off a cliff. It went better than I expected, Lots of learning from it. Parts when really well, some not so well. But overall I suprised myself.

In praise of reading not to learn
15 Aug· Blah Di Da
I once read only to learn. Everything else felt like a waste of time. But learning also brings me anxiety. I love reading genre crime fiction, it lowers my anxiety, it takes me away from myself, the world.
My two current crime fiction/psychological thriller writers:
Michael Connelly
Frieda Mcfadden
And Thomas Harris - Red Dragon (part of the Hannibal Lecter anthology is absolutely exquisite)
