Short post: finding a way that works.
Why audiobooks count. I’ve really struggled with reading this year. I think it’s partly exhaustion and just having a lot on my mind but by concentration isn’t great. It’s brought up a weird reluctance I have towards audiobooks. I love audiobooks and when I get into a listening mode, I can go through books in…

Editing techniques.
Don’t let this blog fool you, I’m actually an alright editor. I don’t do a lot of practical posts so I thought I’d make a list of some editing techniques I use. I mainly work around audio editing and writing editing so apologies if it’s not useful. Hopefully some of it can be applied across…

Rest and recreation.
Another post featuring advice I’m good at giving but terrible at taking. I’ve been having a busy couple of months to say the least.

Short post: Having fun is good.
It’s kind of bleak that we need to remind ourselves of this isn’t it. I don’t think people have enough fun in their creative pursuits. Many of us are so serious about absolutely everything all the time. Work, self improvement, money. These are all positive things to work on but when did we decide it’s…

Where is the freelance work?
It can feel like switching from feast to famine. I’ve been freelance for about ten years of my total audio career. An actual achievement now that I think about it but I also being unemployable is a big part of it. I know the extremes of freelancing well. I’ve cried over a fear of dying…

Short post: Telling people.
Hold onto your idea if it helps you. I hate telling people about my plans. There’s a high chance the person will tell me to stop or misinterpret the idea. At the same time, if I never told anyone and just planned my life away, I may not have gained as much from my creative…
