I made a resolution this year to try and write every day but
I, rather predictably, managed to fail within 24 hours. So instead I decided to
challenge myself to do something productive outside of work everyday. It doesn’t
need to be anything massive – it can be try a new recipe, watch a new film, start
a new book or simply write. I’ve stuck to it pretty well thus far and quite
frankly it feels great. It sounds obvious but life just seems a little better
when you aren’t just hiding under a duvet waiting for work to begin again. This
challenge coincided with finding a big old bag of nostalgia when I went home
for Christmas – a rather large selection of gig posters, set lists and ticket
stubs. This serendipitous event gave me an idea to ensure that I had something
to write about at least one day a week. I call it “Tales from a Ticket Stub”.
