Does anyone have any idea how I might get some more subscribers? i post on social media but feels contrived to just after every post be like "subscribe to my newsletter!" just feels wrong.
Any ideas? I just want more people to read my writing because I think it's good? not really thought about it much more than that... any help would be great. thanks!
I am wearing my blue creative cap on backwards.
When I wear this I feel like a creator. Very creative, musician, artist, writer. I just feel like a creator. Like I can create. Like LEGO and it’s such a good feeling.
I am listening to NOW 50 (or 49) on Sue’s stereo. Curtain falls - Blue.
Ohhhhh in the script of my lifeeeee
I didn’t write last week and honestly that did feel good because I honestly just didn’t fancy it?
Also, Amy Boast where are you! I am angry with you for the lovely email you wrote to me where you talked about Dolly Alderton book(s) which are like Bridget Jones for Millennials.
I am angry because then I was like oh shit, Jack’s Journal. An idea for a book I’ve had in my head for years. Bridget Jones’s diary for Men.
We literally need it. Nobody is writing for young men. I mean that. Lots of self-development, how to make money and be more productive stuff. But stories, real relatable stories for men? Name me one - genuinely please do.
We need a Bridget Jones’s diary for Men and I’m gonna give writing it a go.
I’ve been writing it for the last week and it feels good. Jack is a mixture of every lad I’ve ever met (and a lot of me) and he writes in his journal every Sunday for 2 years. He wants to get fit, get rich and get a girlfriend and this is his inner journey with lots of unexpected twists.
Basically he learns to accept who is he and love himself and then boom - falls in love. Shhhhh don’t tell anyone. And more importantly he becomes a much better person, dare I say feminist? :)
But I want to shine a light on a lot of taboo stuff for lads and men that is just under the surface and creating a lot of shame and therefore toxic masculinity. The way men talk about women, relationships, drugs, drinking, porn, sex, all that good stuff. We need to get it out in the open and someone needs to write on behalf of young men (British/western men I think) everywhere. So looks like I’m giving that a go.
On a serious note thank you Amy for the nudge I really appreciate it and you’ve opened up something really exciting for me. Although obviously I’m extremely nervous that I would even think I could even write something fictional and completely novel but I’m gonna give it a go.
BIOLUMINESCENCE! I AM BRILLIANT! YOU ARE TWO!
(Just read this back and laughing so much that too is spelt two, I love you crazy talk)
I hope Lauren is reading this she is a genius and she is an inspiration to me with a wonderful family.
George is very happy and that is good to see, the world hasn’t seen 3% of him yet. MARA
Natalie Beddingfield is on now. Recited it over a hip bop beat. These words are my own. From my hearts own. I love you I love you I love you.
Look how good Sarah is at writing. :)
Love you mum and dad thanks for the sofa.
