The Diary Of A Wannabe Writer

68 Death and Coving (17th April 2026) 17.04.2026 7:18 ↓

I apologise for not having recorded a pod for a few days, and talk about my day. It wasn’t a great one.

67 Music and Writing (13th April 2026) 13.04.2026 6:54 ↓

I talk about my day and the fact I’ve finally done some writing.

66 A Few Days Off (9th April 2026) 09.04.2026 7:11 ↓

Just announcing a few days off (on top of a few days off that I’ve just had that were unplanned!)

65 Home; Tired; Who! (5th April 2026) 05.04.2026 7:10 ↓

Got home, watched the two missing episodes of Doctor Who that turned up last month. Then slept a lot. Twice.

64 Homeward Bound (4th April 2026) 04.04.2026 6:48 ↓

I did say that you would only get a podcast today if I actually managed to achieve something. Looks like I did! Listen to the show to find out what.

63 A reflective mood (3rd April 2026) 03.04.2026 6:59 ↓

It’s kind of an excuse podcast again as to why I haven’t written, sorry, but when you listen, I think you’ll agree it’s a good reason for once.

62 Felafel and Sex Workers (2nd April 2026) 02.04.2026 6:48 ↓

I talk about my day. Not much writing (plenty of intention, not much time).

61 Mental Conspiracy Overdrive (1st April 2026) 01.04.2026 6:46 ↓

I talk about how little I’ve done down here in Sydney as well as the weird stuff my brain throws at me when I see a coin on the floor…

60 Sydney Again (31st March 2026) 31.03.2026 6:53 ↓

A little bit of writing to report, and I’ve arrived in Sydney!

59 A Lazy Day (30th March 2026) 30.03.2026 7:24 ↓

I mainly talk about my other podcast, sorry.

58 Next: Sleep! (29th March 2026) 29.03.2026 7:13 ↓

I talk about what I’ve done since I last spoke to you and my plans for the next few days.

57 Next: Singapore! (28th March 2026) 28.03.2026 6:47 ↓

Flying to Singapore tonight!

56 Chapter 26 is on the way (27th March 2026) 27.03.2026 8:59 ↓

Managed to get some writing done at writing club today. Actually meant to do some editing but forgot to print out chapter 25 so started writing chapter 26 instead!

55 Done some bloomin’ writin’! (26th March 2026) 26.03.2026 7:01 ↓

Did some proper screen editing on chapter 25!

54 Just as incoherent at home (25th March 2026) 25.03.2026 6:57 ↓

Apologies for no podcast yesterday, was tired. Still am.

53 Practically incoherent in New York (23rd March 2026) 23.03.2026 7:04 ↓

Tired and talking for the sake of talking.

52 I should have written today (22nd March 2026) 22.03.2026 6:49 ↓

I’m annoyed with myself today, I was free after lunchtime and didn’t do any writing. It’s not good enough.

51 Evri Versus DPD (21st March 2026) 21.03.2026 8:29 ↓

Sorry there was no show yesterday, it was a combination of tiredness, forgetfulness, and being wound up by another courier service…

50 Exhausted in Glasgow (19th March 2026) 19.03.2026 7:04 ↓

Finding myself very tired in this three tardis town…

49 Mostly Pizza (18th March 2026) 18.03.2026 6:51 ↓

Back in Italy again, eating pizza again, not writing again.

48 Bl**dy Tired (17th March 2026) 17.03.2026 7:35 ↓

A podcast recorded whilst exceedingly tired.

47 So long and thanks for all the Pizza (16th March 2026) 16.03.2026 7:12 ↓

I’m back in Italy, this time in Venice, so it would be rude not to eat a fresh local pizza. Also did some writing…

46 Venice Tomorrow (15th March 2026) 15.03.2026 7:11 ↓

Very busy and productive day today! As well as writing, I’ve got lots of home chores done. Also in the podcast I tell you where I’m spending the next few nights…

45 Empress and Self Portrait (14th March 2026) 14.03.2026 6:54 ↓

Today I wrote a bit of chapter 25 of Self Portrait and stuck in a sneaky reference to Empress of the Trees!
