Oh dear. I'm not very good at keeping track of things.
As you may already know, I run an online magazine called Sparkbright. It publishes every six months, in June and December. Since putting out our sixth issue back in June, I've done absolutely nothing towards the upkeep of the site (so, 650-odd spam comments to get rid of...), the twitter site, the blog... nothing. So I should probably get back on that!
I'm trying to be more organised in general, and actually keep track of what's going on with regards to my internet activity. That includes: this blog; the Sparkbright website; the Sparkbright blog (on the site); the Sparkbright twitter account; my personal twitter account; the Sparkbright facebook page; my facebook page and several email accounts.
I'm going to try and post here at least once a week, so you can look forward (er, maybe) to seeing a bit more of me round here. And I really do need to do some work for Sparkbright.
This 'trying to be organised' thing is all part of my day zero project: 101 goals in 1001 days. My list is here, if you're interested, but I'll be back soon enough to tell you more about it.
Ciao for now!

Confession...
Today, I read The Bookseller for the first time. (Online, I might add, but it still counts.)
For the past couple of years I've been wanting to get into publishing. I've done a selection of work placements, had lots of email contact with companies all over Europe as part of these placements, been to the London Book Fair, been to a couple of SYP events... I've even been regularly using thebookseller.com in recent weeks/months to check for job vacancies.
And yet I'd never thought to actually read any of the news articles on there. Isn't that strange?
So I read up about a bit of what went on this year in Bologna, and then read a bit of pre-LBF gossip... and it was actually really interesting. More-so now than if I'd started reading it a year or so ago. Now I have an active interest in at least a couple of companies - ones I've previously worked with, ones I'm due to work with soon etc. and I've generally been paying more attention to the industry, I guess.
Maybe I'll make a habit of it.
Happy Saturday, everyone! As you may have noticed, I'm having a very quiet weekend. I hope yours are more exciting!
