"The automatic writing project started out as an activity among friends and locals. I would write a line someone else would write a line and so on... Then people would overhear us and ask if they could participate and write something too (which surprised me) of course I said "yes!" At that point I realized that lots of people have something to say. I started asking strangers to add entries, then I graduated to offering people $1.00 to participate, some people do not accept the dollar and some pay me a $1.00 (paying it forward). It's becoming quite a lovely, surprising and compelling project. People from many walks of life are participating: homeless, a news reporter, academics, doctors, drug addicts, lawyers, tourists etc... People have written things in my journal that they'd never say out loud, not to anyone. Some of it's so sad, some intriguing, hilarious and so on... At the end of the day, every one of these people understand that their entries are being uploaded to the internet and are comforted in knowing that they will be heard. I have no idea where this is going, but it's going just fine! FYI: English is not everyone's first language here. I will be illustrating the book/journal after the text is done. I hope that everyone who reads these entries learns something about people, mostly that we never know what someone else is going through.

As guy who writes for a living, I've got to say that Notting Hill's Redemption Bar have some pretty splendid strap lines. The first? 'Spoil yourself without spoiling yourself.' The second? 'A night off, not a night in'. So, if you hadn't gathered - Redemption's 'thing' is restaurant/bar type indulgence, but without the accompanying physical damage that comes with consuming shitloads of alcohol or the 'wrong' kind of foods ('wrong' from a health perspective). The menu is made up of vegan, sugar free, gluten free, alcohol free type reinterpretations of familiar dishes/drinks. For an example, instead of 'conventional' pasta, think "raw courgette spaghetti, tossed in walnet and pumpkin seed pesto, topped with a rocket and tomato salad and brazil nut âparmesan" - which is actually very delicious (verified and confirmed). And mocktails that donât suck (because, letâs be honest - a lot of the time cocktails are just fruit juice with a little pimping)
Anyway, Redemption is the brainchild of one Catherine Salway - who, amongst other things, spent 17 years working a 6 figure, power/high stress job at Virgin (describing her background as "brand, marketing, innovation and business"). With the idea for Redemption, Catherine must have picked up some of Branson's "screw it, let's do it" spirit. She summed it up herself best in one of her blog posts: "I wanted to break into the restaurant market which has high failure rates, without the single biggest profit driver (alcohol) in the most white hot property market in the world (London)". Hard graft and some good decisions seem to be paying off however - they've developed something of a cult following and write-ups in the like of The Telegraph, The Sydney Morning Herald and Time Out. I believe theyâre calling this style of place a âdry barâ, and that thereâs more on the way (good news for everybodyâs livers!)
Catherine herself doesn't actually know how to cook, so the menu and 'creative direction' can be attributed to the equally lovely Andrea Waters, the other half of Redemotion. Andrea's a kiwi with a background in nutrition, raw and vegan foods. We had a chat with her and can verify that she is super chill and 'on the level'. As for a food recommendation? Probably my favourite of the things I tired was the aforementioned pasta .The ethos/approach Redemption takes is pretty cool, they're offering an alternative but they're not preaching. They've also got a zero waste policy and take the whole sustainability issue very seriously. It's a fine thing to see people who do things, reaping good things. They've come a long way since their first three residencies in Hackney, Portobello and Holborn - and it looks like their future is promising. I hope they go further still. Well done Andrea and Catherine :)
I support the Write-in Taiwanese Campaign, the only problem is that I am neither Taiwanese, nor American. I just want to piss the Chinese Communist Party off. lol

There are many websites online that provide “write my essay service”. However, it is difficult to find a genuine website that can answer all your academic writing needs.
One of my favorite pictures that I've taken in quite a while, I love how this turned out, again at The Dominoes.

Live version from the 1988 tour. Introduction by Jimmy, who seems quite pleased that the audience has heard of the album. An instrumental again. No visuals unfortunately, but he sounds like he's playing in good form.
Hosted by the Writing Center and Library, students hung out for a "write in" party on Wednesday, April 29, 2015. Students were offered assistance with final papers, guidance on citations, while the room was filled with stress relieving stations, such as movies, dance zone and snacks.

Reading the Bakersfield Californian in the Downtown Starbucks. It was quiet when I took this photo, but the place soon filled up. There is my ubiquitous pink camera bag, the ever present Starbucks cup (just a simple small coffee, plain - nothing in it) and ofcourse, stuff to read and write.....
Look what came in the mail! I've started a new Etsy shop just for my Jet Set Journals (jetsetpaper.etsy) and now I can start filling the shop!

Many of you know my boyfriend is one of those artisitic, creative types (actor/writer/singer/songwriter). I've always found his method of writing fascinating. He writes lyrics of songs (and/or stories if it's not music) in bits and pieces and posts them on the wall till it's done. Sometimes the pages hang there for months until the right words find their way on there.
Cover for October's newsletter of ideas and information associated with all things education, mined and curated for me and shared with you.
