The Diary Of A Wannabe Writer

143 Watching Marvel (18th July 2026) 18.07.2026 6:56 ↓

Having had a couple of days off, I talk about the writing I plan to do plus the movie I’m watching kind of now actually…

142 Cleaning Frenzy 3 - Civil Bore (15th July 2026) 15.07.2026 7:22 ↓

I’m nearly done making my house look less terrible.

141 Cleaning Frenzy Part 2 (14th July 2026) 14.07.2026 9:02 ↓

Today I did more cleaning. Don’t bother listening it’s rubbish.

140 Apathy Frenzy (13th July 2026) 13.07.2026 6:54 ↓

Today was mainly not getting round to cleaning. Or writing. Or anything, really.

139 Cleaning Frenzy Part 1 (12th July 2026) 12.07.2026 7:35 ↓

A month ago I realised I probably should do some cleaning before my friend visits on the 16th. And then I forgot until today.

138 Coin Locker Babies (11th July 2026) 11.07.2026 7:24 ↓

Having failed to write, I talk about a book that I finished reading…

137 Sad News and Writing (10th July 2026) 10.07.2026 6:58 ↓

I talk about the upsetting news today about the murder of former MP Ann Widecombe, as well as talking about my writing.

136 Another Nil Return (8th July 2026) 08.07.2026 6:47 ↓

I talk about my day, which unfortunately involved nothing creative at all. In fact, nothing at all at all apart from a haircut.

135 The Last of the Summer Wine fan podcast (7th July 2026) 07.07.2026 6:52 ↓

This almost turned into a podcast about a comedy show I don’t even like. Luckily, I realise what I’m doing about halfway through and stop talking about it. Sorry.

134 Safely Home (6th July 2026) 06.07.2026 7:16 ↓

After an extraordinarily long day, I’m safely home.

133 I wonder if I’ve already used this episode title? (5th July 2026) 05.07.2026 6:48 ↓

It’s the last day of this trip away from home and I’ve achieved nothing I intended to, oh well!

132 It’s US Independence Day and I completely forget to mention it on the podcast (4th July 2026) 04.07.2026 8:44 ↓

Happy fourth of July! Not that I mention it on the podcast at all. I waffle on about not sleeping or writing.

131 Shattered in Singapore (3rd July 2026) 03.07.2026 6:53 ↓

Back in Singapore and very, very tired!

130 Sleep? What Sleep! (2nd July 2026) 02.07.2026 6:49 ↓

I’ve just had breakfast in Sydney, on a date that is technically tomorrow, and tell you the little that I’ve done since yesterday (not much).

129 DVD Hunting in Sydney (1st July 2026) 01.07.2026 6:48 ↓

After a pleasant flight from Singapore to Sydney, I’m exploring JB Hi-fi to try and find a particular DVD box set for a friend…

128 Sleepless In Singapore II (30th June 2026) 30.06.2026 7:39 ↓

An update from Singapore, which includes, yes, shock, some writing…

127 Unsober in Singapore (29th June 2026) 29.06.2026 7:14 ↓

The thoughts of a man who’s had too much whiskey.

126 The Return of Emergency Questions (28th June 2026) 28.06.2026 6:46 ↓

I’m flying to Singapore later today and I’ve done no writing, so I didn’t really know what to talk about today… Then I remembered something I used to do a while back, and have chosen to resurrect it…

125 Mainly doing my other podcast today (27th June 2026) 27.06.2026 7:02 ↓

Today, I mainly spent reading and working on my other podcast. And I’m off to Singapore tomorrow…

124 Buy the kid an Ice Cream, Dad! (26th June 2026) 26.06.2026 7:48 ↓

As well as reflecting on how “Last Of The Summer Wine” dealt with the death of Bill Owen and therefore the loss of his character Compo, I also went and did some bloody writing!

123 Still Recovering (25th June 2026) 25.06.2026 7:22 ↓

Exhausted and catching up from my very long day yesterday. Did very very little today.

122 Exceedingly-mega-tired (24th June 2026) 24.06.2026 6:54 ↓

See show title so to understand why I can’t be bothered to write this blurb today.

121 A disappointing update from Japan (23rd June 2026) 23.06.2026 6:59 ↓

I was quite active today, sadly none of it was literary.

120 Can I please have Big Mac meal, fries, Sprite, and a medium Prime Minister? (22nd June 2026) 22.06.2026 8:12 ↓

Didn’t do much today after my flight, did watch the news though, great.

119 Haneda Bound (21st June 2026) 21.06.2026 6:47 ↓

3500 is the answer to yesterday‘s question! I’m going to Tokyo today where I hope to record a podcast on location tomorrow…
