No Show

Sorry that there is no new post this week. I am a "no show" due to the wheels coming off my trolley on Tuesday when I tried some glandular therapy treatment for my ongoing hypoadrenalism and ended up passed out on the hall floor. At the moment, my brain feels like it is full of cotton-wool and writing anything deep and meaningful (or even anything shallow and nonsensical) seems quite difficult. Hopefully normal service will be resumed as soon as possible so please do not adjust your settings.

    Sorry to hear you've not been well. I hope it soon gets sorted out and you'll be back to your writing shortly.

    Hurrah! It works. I have been fiddling around with things and maybe one of them has expelled the gremlin that wouldn't allow me to leave comments.

    This is very odd. I left 2 comments earlier and both seemed to be accepted but now they have disappeared. It was just to say sorry you haven't been well and I hope you'll be back writing soon.

    Hi Vanessa. Sorry you've been having problems with the comments. Many thanks for your good wishes. I am certainly better than I was this time last week.

Setting Quotas

Does anyone else set quotas for how much work they send out every week, month etc or is that just me? I decided a while back that I was probably never going to send anything out if I didn't set a quota and for various reasons I decided that six items a month was right for me. Like lots of ideas, it is probably good in theory and so far I have managed to keep to my quota. Unfortunately, the theory seems to fall down when I find myself (usually on the last day of the month!) desperately scratching around trying to find somewhere to send something in an effort to meet my quota. A few weeks ago, while in this predicament, I came across Healthy  magazine in a well-known health food store. I noticed that they offered fifty pounds worth of vouchers to spend in store for the writer of the star letter. Desperate to fulfill my quota and hopeful of winning the top prize, I duly sent off a letter. The email was returned by the "postmaster" for some reason, so ...

Should I Tell My Therapist I Have An Imaginary Cat?

Hi everyone. It was T.S. Eliot who nominated April as the cruellest month but for me, it’s any month where the temperature regularly goes above 22 degrees. I realise that in many parts of the world that happens pretty much all year round but here in the UK, we’re usually only talking about June, July and August although I do remember us having a heatwave in October once. Personally I hate being hot although I’m now of the age where that can happen even when the temperature outside is below freezing. And of course, the summer temperatures we have are nothing compared with the horrendous heights on the thermometer and their deadly effects that occur in other places. But even in relatively “Cool Britannia”, we can still have trouble working, exercising, eating, concentrating and keeping our temper in the summer months. (Or is that just me?)  T rying to sleep , in our air-conditionedless houses w ith little or no insulation that can feel almost as hot at night as they do in the ...

The Only Thing I Have In Common With Madonna

Hi everyone. What is it about September which creates that “Start of a New School Year” feeling, even though as in my case, I left school almost 50 years ago? Well, I don’t really know either but what I do know is that it’s the time of year when I like to review what I’ve achieved career and work-wise over the last 12 months. So it’s when I fill in my annual profit/loss sheet (very variable), see how much time I’ve spent on training and development (too much) or marketing and networking (not nearly enough), as well as writing an End of Year Report even though no one but me ever reads it. This September though, I’ve decided to use the month to make a bigger work-related change and have reorganised my “portfolio career”. The term “portfolio career” is really just a grand name for having more than one job but it’s a useful way of defining what I do which over the last twelve years has been a combination of “creative” jobs including writer, designer, crafter, artist and even a musical en...
