Doing exciting new things is a very big part of my 2012. Saying yes more, doing stuff instead of curling up on the sofa after Ive finished work and basically making the most of living in London. Here...
Earlier this week, a tweet from @badlydrawnroy hit Twitter:Reading BadlyDrawnRoys stream, it appears that hes been fired since telling his company that he has depression. Lack of activity w...
At the end of last year, I promised that I would read more. That was basically the only new years resolution that I made that I really wanted to stick to. And I did! I hated not reading, and while Iv...
A while back, I decided that I needed to... speak up. To stand up in front of a room full of people and not feel nervous anymore. As much as Im well, and back to being myself (and I really am), its h...
Ive spent the last five days in Cyprus (and the whole of today on the sofa catching up on Eastenders). Impressively it was warm enough for us to play in the sea at the end of November, despite being ...
My RSS feed has become a little stale recently. I head straight to my favourite blogs and unless Im really procrastinating I tend to ignore the rest until Ive got important deadlines looming. Then Im...
Amazon started to dispatch the Domestic Sluttery book yesterday. Its arriving in shops already. Consequently my brain is doing this: fdkjhfgholycrapdgherhgfdkjglkd fjgfdkjgfgdninggahargh. Fuck.Ive spe...
Autumn is auburn and red and crunchy and a little bit cold, but sunny, and wonderful. Its my favourite season. Im allowed to make apple crumble, but Im still allowed to wear my giant sunglasses. I ca...
Two facts collided one afternoon and somehow turned themselves into a cool new project.1. I have never been to The Fan Museum in Greenwich despite it always sounding really interesting and livin...
Its been bubbling for a while now, but feminism appears to have a new fight. Its not the gender pay gap, its not empowering women without using sexuality. Its got nothing to do with abortion. Its a f...
Facebook often makes very subtle changes to the social network that have a huge influence on how we use the site. Being able to claim your own Facebook URL was one (I dont think I bothered for ages, ...
Today I got a job at The Times as their online wedding editor. Im as happy as this cat. Im going to the pub.
A while ago, I noticed my local community college were offering free courses. I was on the website looking for a photography course anyway and got myself a place on a short composition course. Ive ne...
A post about running for charity? Yep, its one massive plea for your money. We might as well get that over with now. Gimme now. Give me all of your money while you sit on the sofa. But if you want to...
A couple of weeks ago, I got invited on a design-y architecture-y press trip to South Tyrol. I didnt really know anything about the area (or, lets be honest, exactly where it was) but I found myself ...
Luck is a strange concept to me. Im not superstitious, I dont care for lucky horseshoes, it doesnt bother me if my clover has ten leaves on it, let alone four. Lucky numbers just dont do it for me. L...
Id forgotten about this. Its still bloody brilliant.
Books are hard work.I knew this before we started. Ive known this since we started pitching the Domestic Sluttery book in 2009. But this month might just freakin kill me. Im trying very hard not to l...

Im going to be in Devon for the next few days. Staying in that clock tower. Excited doesnt quite cover it.

"How much of your novel is based on your life?"I get asked that question about The Root of the Root a lot. When I write, I dont edit as I go along. I just carry on, ploughing through the good...
Last week, Qype reached 1 million users across the world. Thats amazing. Ive been working for Qype (its pronounced qwipe, not kipe) since 2008, three months after I went freelance. I dont play favour...
