Richard Pilgrim: August 2014
http://richardpilgrim.blogspot.com/2014_08_01_archive.html
Tuesday, 19 August 2014. In June I signed up for a writing challenge known as ‘100k Words in 100 Days’. It began on 1st July and the challenge is (guess what? To write 100,000 words in 100 days. Seems easy, on the face of it – just 1,000 words a day. What could be simpler? Count, nor do letters or emails. Care for the novel after all. I am quite excited about the way it has developed - I have experienced that delicious moment that all writers encounter when we suddenly realise that our characters are...

Richard Pilgrim: A New Life!
http://richardpilgrim.blogspot.com/2011/03/new-life.html
Thursday, 31 March 2011. Oh dear - if any of you are still out there, dear listeners, then I'm so sorry that I haven't written for so long. You've probably all deserted me anyway because you must have thought I had died, or that possibly I was in prison. Why wouldn't you? Well strangely, you would not be too. But why should giving up smoking have kept me busy, you ask? More on this, and other matters, next time. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Back to the Salt Mines. View my complete profile.

Richard Pilgrim: September 2014
http://richardpilgrim.blogspot.com/2014_09_01_archive.html
Tuesday, 2 September 2014. Do you remember the optimism that we all felt when the Berlin Wall came down and when almost the whole of the Eastern Bloc in Europe emerged from behind its curtain, blinking into the sunshine, to join the rest of us as we skipped along in our happy democratic freedoms? A new era of world peace had dawned. Were we being deluded, naïve, or were we just being plain crazy? 1999 and almost fourteen years later, Mr Putin has never been far away from the seat of power. In a conve...

Richard Pilgrim: December 2010
http://richardpilgrim.blogspot.com/2010_12_01_archive.html
Sunday, 19 December 2010. Those of you who were reading this blog a year ago will remember that I posted (across several days) an account of a dismal Christmas I once spent in the company of my Great Aunt Dolores at the home of the Earl of Maugersbury. That year we had little more than a tin of spam and a bottle of cheap brandy with which to celebrate, and so I feel that if I survived. I shall be ready! It's a little bit funny, this feeling inside. Monday, 6 December 2010. Oh, How We Suffer! Are pure ana...

Richard Pilgrim: Starting over...
http://richardpilgrim.blogspot.com/2014/07/starting-over.html
Tuesday, 1 July 2014. So why have I resumed my blogging after a silence of over three years? So, another round of self-improvement is called for. Identifying that life had become a tedious routine of cleaning, cooking, administrating, drinking and sex, I decided to set about the re-introduction of more creative and challenging activities into my days. This is about creating more meaning to the lfe that I lead. And that only by getting the words down can success come our way. For now, I won’t bore y...

Richard Pilgrim: A Typical Sitcom Moment
http://richardpilgrim.blogspot.com/2011/02/typical-sitcom-moment.html
Tuesday, 22 February 2011. A Typical Sitcom Moment. She stood horrified at my antics as, like a rabbit caught in the headlights, I froze in mid-gyration with my hips thrust forward to reveal the clinging contours of my new stretch-lycra briefs. Sheepishly, I climbed down from the highly-polished table mumbling that yes, thank you, a taxi would be most appropriate. Still reeling with shock, she retired from the room in silence. We didn't get the deal. Wish I was there.TOO FUNNY! Lola (Benny is my pen name).
