A couple of years ago I wrote a series of blogs for WhatsOnStage following the experience of working at the Edinburgh Fringe. I was supposed to update our readers about three times a week. This wouldn't have been a problem if our very expensive rented apartment's wi-fi had actually worked. Once we realised it didn't I found myself in a bit of a pickle. I needed to write about the hectic life of a Fringe participant - but I was starting to find the work schedule a bit too hectic to make it to Fringe Central to use the computers before closing time. I've lost count of the number of times I was gently peeled off the computer station by Fringe Central staff. Finally I owned up to my readers, admitting they weren't quite getting my full attention. It wasn't the actual writing that was proving a problem (that was mostly getting done) it was getting said writing transformed into an online, uploaded, typed format.
Once again this is proving an issue.
I've been working my butt off on so many different projects at the moment. I can assure you there's plenty to write about. Which I've mostly already written about. By hand (so old school I know), in my lovely big black leather notebook with the intention of typing it up. But when I'm near a computer I tend to use it to do what's urgent like updating information on our websites, sending and receive emails and social media-ing out our information.
So I'm here for a couple of reasons. One: To show I've put in the time to blog. Two: To let you know there are more coming. Three: To explain why a couple of months of blog silence is about to be followed by a flurry of blogging.
Thanks for reading.
Oh and below is the original WhatsOnStage article I've been harping on about:
