I never quite know what to do when one of my own articles hits this list – it must be my Englishness coming out, embarrassed by success and wanting to downplay it. So I’m feeling all-sorts-of-uncomfortable with the number one position but then again it’s good to know I’m providing useful information, or in the …

I’ve been procrastinating a lot again recently so I had to go back and re-read my own article on writing productivity and guess what – my own advice worked! So I’m back to attacking the keyboards with vigour – much as the rest of the writing community has been judging by this week’s bunch of …
