I set up this Substack last year with no real idea of what to do with it. Perhaps something on creativity? Perhaps something on ADD and mental health? Something on Film? Or Sci-Fi? Or writing? Or… A year on, no posts and three subscribers later, I still have no idea.
Time was, a few years ago, I tried an experiment in daily blogging. I was working in London and realised the hour commute each way was the perfect opportunity to write a couple of hundred words on something that was on my mind. I kept it up for 100 days (or thereabouts), because someone said that that was a good thing to do, and I would start to see results if I kept going for that long. It was, for the greater part, roundly ignored, and I think I might have upset someone at work, so I gave up. But a bit of me always regretted stopping.
I now find myself in a similar, if not better, situation. I’m currently between contracts (anyone need a content designer?), and filling my time between nagging agents with developing various projects, including a short film which suddenly, in the last few days, appears to have sprouted legs and started careening about all over the place.
So, here goes nothing. I will endeavour to keep a daily record of things as the short and other projects develop, and share my thoughts (for what they are worth) on interesting things that are happening in the world, and there seems to be a lot of them going on at the moment. Let’s see if I can keep going for more than a hundred days, and if I upset anyone along the way, well, tough, it won’t be intentional.
