As I sit on my sofa, coffee on one side, a cacophony of paperwork on the other, quietly freaking out at the fact that tomorrow we’re heading off on tour, it seems fitting that I’m the most recent guest on the Just Get A Real Job podcast.

I usually can’t wait to put together my reading wrap ups at the end of each month but for the last few months, around May onwards, I’ve had an absolutely terrible few months reading wise.

It wasn’t until Stephen King published his non-fiction work On Writing that it occurred to me to read some of his fiction.

2020 has brought a lot of novelty to peoples’ lives, both good and bad. So far I’ve tried writing a novel, starting (and frequently rejecting) new exercise regimes, making short videos of my dog just trying to live her life and have created projects with sub-par results in both embroidery and knitting.

I recently started a podcast. Yes, I’m one of those people now I’m afraid. I’ve wanted to do it for a while but it wasn’t until the delightful Joe Bell of Sideburn Panda hopped on board that it actually happened (probably because he’s simultaneously super hardworking and incredibly calming). So now we have a podcast.

A couple of weeks ago, before we could officially no longer leave our houses but when things were already starting to ramp up, I decided to honour one final appointment. I met with Nick and Ace at UCL where we recorded an episode of their podcast In Our Heads.
