I’ve ditched my beloved Facebook in an attempt at academically observing how the next year of my life changes without it. Follow the link below to take you to my sister blog, Surviving Without Facebook. Real-life coffee date, or just an idle comment, madam?.

I think I’ve tacitly mentioned that two months ago, I returned home to the UK after an 18 month stint over in Spain. If you follow my column on Running In Heels, you will know this. I hadn’t intended to stay any longer than a year, but you know how life rolls sometimes… Anyhow, when […]

Back in 2008, I read a life changing book. I can’t recall how I heard about Rhonda Byrne’s universal bestseller, The Secret, but it took me a good year to track down a copy and finally wrap my eyes, head and sense of abundance around its message. Once I’d finished it, I felt that an […]

Poor old failure. Somewhere along the line back there, it got a really bad rap. But before you balk at my use of oxymorons, let’s hold the phone a moment and take a little step back: why is failure such a bad place to go? Who decided that to fail wasn’t acceptable, socially or otherwise? Where’s […]

Having focused on the artist’s plight lately, sychronisity had me accidentally land on this image yesterday. Although the ‘I Am An Artist…’ entries haven’t reached their conclusion yet (still more to come!), I thought I’d share this image with you as an amusing – but nerve striking – interlude. How prolifically do these apply to […]

Yesterday, I installed part one of the big creative plight: how the hell to ensure we’re respected and paid for what we do? Just to recap, we’re highly unlikely to enlist an accountant friend in their full-blown professional capacity without thinking about paying them for their services. A piece of casual advice is very different, […]

Over the last several days, I’ve been amazed to see how many hits my recent post, I Have Bills To Pay, But I’m An Artist… has received. It would seem that there are hundreds and thousands of you who are struggling creatives: the search engine term report facility has basically gone into overdrive with all […]

On Facebook today, this photograph did its rounds. I’m not entirely sure who the candid creator is, but by way of immediate credit, one G Giuliano claims the sharing applause. And so, how about that? If you’re a creative, how true is this statement of you? Do you privately seethe when flimsy quid pro quos […]

We’re all familiar with those ‘Name your top 10 whatevers’ notes that circulate Facebook from time to time. The majority are innocuous; but some – like a big question posed one evening by a friend over a civilised glass of wine – require more consideration. Oddly, the response takes us further into ourselves than we’d […]

I love lists. Readers of EP might have guessed that already. But what I dislike is definitive instruction when I’ve not asked for it. Thus, today’s Evening Standard, in semi-riposte to Beyoncé’s pregnancy (the connection here is her new-found maternal sagacity as she smashes her goal of reproducing by the age of 30), Richard Godwin […]
