Also, I obsess too much over my storytelling. That stops me publishing very much at the moment. So I fall silent and become invisible. Right now Iโm mentally exhausted as well. The reason is a good one: I am working on a dream project for money, but it (along with other commissions) leaves me dry

Peeked into BlueSky over Sunday morning coffee to find @sm2n.bsky.social and @omaniblog.bsky.social are doing something called #MayPodPoMo. Itโs like #AudioMo has come early, plus we still get AudioMo tooโฆ I hopeโฆ

The thing about the value of anything we publish is that other people decide. Sometimes they are positive; other times negative. We canโt know how it will be received. I suppose our job as creators is to do our best and do the brave thing of pushing the publish button, like you

Proof, if any where needed, that a sense of humour is required to even think about entering #bm100. Made me laugh out loud.
Three runners have just come into camp after quitting on Loop 1.

Have the odds shifted in favour of the course? #bm100
Ten runners completed Loop 1 within the time limit; 9 continued to Loop 2. 14 runners have been tapped out; 16 remain on Loop 1 and will be tapped out when they return. #BM100

Well, @keithdunn.bsky.social will have very little to report for a few hours, unless someone has to give up quickly. Top competitors wonโt appear again for another eight hours at best.

Iโm suspecting the #BM100 was delayed so @keithdunn.bsky.social could watch Newcastle win a cup.

While we wait, there is a very enjoyable documentary about last yearโs #BM100. It includes that moment between Jared, Gary and Jasmine. Still brings a tear to my eye. youtu.be/uyX4GRm7NeY?...
