My Top 5 Books of 2020

What a year 2020 has been! This is the first year in my entire life where I’ve pretty much picked up reading as a full-time hobby. I’ve always been an avid reader but this is the first year I’ve read this many books (just hit 40 and I’m still going strong – lockdown definitely helped…).Continue reading “My Top 5 Books of 2020”

Coronavirus Survival Kit: Evenings

This is a trying time for all of us. No one really knows the full impact that this virus is likely to cause (though we can look to China for some ideas). In the meantime, for those of us who are stuck at home, I have come up with this little guide on how toContinue reading “Coronavirus Survival Kit: Evenings”

Valentine’s Day Isn’t Only for Lovers

Valentine’s Day is here and I haven’t posted in months, so I thought I would take this opportunity to create a quick post about… you guessed it: Love! This post hasn’t got an awful lot to do with content writing. In fact, it’s got nothing to do with content writing at all. But words areContinue reading “Valentine’s Day Isn’t Only for Lovers”

I Doubt I’ll Make Millions from Freelancing, and that’s Okay

Since making the transition from full time employee to freelancer, a lot of changes have gone on in the world.

In today’s multifaceted world where we are presented withContinue reading “The Benefits of Content Writing”

Waiting for the Gift of Sound and Vision

When I read a piece of my written work, I listen to the way it sounds. Okay, I’m not writing poetry or the lyrics to a song, but that doesn’t matter. Regardless, my writing has to have a flow, a rhythm, and a pleasing sound, in order for me to be satisfied with it. Just likeContinue reading “Waiting for the Gift of Sound and Vision”

“Don’t Think Twice it’s All Right”

There’s something about a well-written song that resonates so deeply with me. When one of my favourite songs comes on, I just want to drop what I’m doing, close my eyes and listen to it on full blast, taking in all the elements from the instruments used to the nuances and emotions of the singer’sContinue reading ““Don’t Think Twice it’s All Right””
