This Is Why You Will Never Write Like Me (And Why You Shouldn’t)
I don’t know exactly when I made the transition from regular writer to a consultant of sorts, but I’m thankful for the messages I’ve been getting.

Here Are Some Copywriting Tips That Don’t Include ‘Learn SEO’ Or ‘Find Your Niche’
If you google ‘how to be a copywriter’, you’ll find 33.6 million articles that supposedly cover the ins and outs of the vocation. But upon further inspection of the search results, you’ll quickly learn that some of these posts have typos in the first paragraphs (automatic disqualification), while others read like fresh-grad material instead of… — read more

I Read Someone Else’s Journal And It’s Teaching Me How To Live Life
You know what I love more than journalling? Reading other people’s journals. What’s with the look? You’ve probably done the same, or at least know someone who did. Anne Frank’s diary, perhaps? Leonardo da Vinci’s? Sylvia Plath’s? Anyway, the journal in question (Meditations by Marcus Aurelius) is a couple thousand years old, so I doubt… — read more

So the following post is based off my time spent in the WordPress Reader which, in the past couple of years, total up to 15,000 blogs visited (average of 20 blogs per day). And through that time, I’ve since developed a taste for the type of posts I’d click on and enjoy. Here’s a quick… — read more

It’s finally happened. No, I didn’t become a New York Times bestselling author. I have instead contracted COVID, after two years of dodging it like Neo in The Matrix.

5 Love Tips I’d Love To Give My Younger Self
You know how I started my blogging career? By writing about my heartbreaks. This was during the Geocities days where you had to manually write each page’s HTML through Notepad.

Can Unfinished Tasks Worsen Your Procrastination?
You know that feeling when you see a grimy spot on the wall but you never get around to cleaning it? What about when your stash of oats is running low, yet you always delay your trip to the supermarket? Or my personal favourite, knowing you have work to do, yet somehow being able to… — read more

How Running Is Like Writing, And Why You Should Embrace Them Both
Six years ago, I wrote a post connecting the two wonderful worlds of writing and running, and a lot has changed since then. For starters, I’ve actually maintained a steady schedule for more than a year now, compared to the sporadic posts I used to put up when I was ‘in the mood’. Also, I’ve… — read more

This Is How You Become An Inauthentic Blogger
How many leads did you get? What’s the conversion rate? Did you optimise for that keyword? There was a time when you could just post to entertain. Now you have to entertain and show your boss how many new sign-ups you got. Which I think is bullshit. — read more

Here Are Some (Not So) Secret Tips To Coming Up With More Writing Ideas
Ah, the mystical topic of writing ideas. Where do they come from? Are they really messages from the universe, ones that we pass through us like radio waves through receivers? Are they the products of our muse, spiritual beings who bestow us with their gifts at their whim and fancy? Or do we simply think… — read more
