I originally planned to round off the ‘writing sex’ series (but couldn’t think of anything, so it’s probably done) or talk about spoilers (but I think that’s going to wind up being a bigger subject than I originally planned and I want to plan that out a little more).

Mini blog series update: returning next week
Thanks to a series of urgent coinciding events and insomnia, the next blog about the benefits of writing porn will be showing up next weekend.

Recently I had a realisation. I’ve spoken in my blog before about the essence of speed and the difficulty slowing down and being calm or gracious about it. This realisation relates to that. It’s no secret that today’s society is a fast one. With immediate access, FOMO, ‘get in first or lose your opportunity’ salesContinue reading “On ‘doing it now’ and the illusion of speed”
