Once again my paranoia suggests that I may have subconsciously stolen this from somewhere but it’s too late to do anything else so it will have to suffice.
In other news, I am now officially a third of the way through this project. Not a particularly noteworthy event, but I need all the encouragement I can muster. So, you know, hooray and stuff.

While I was doing my English A level, I studied a poet (whose name now escapes me – can anyone help?) who laid out a poem in this manner. The phrase he used was ‘I am the resurrection and the life’. For some reason that came back to me recently so I decided to have a go myself. It’s a strange thing to do; because you are very limited in your selection of words, they kind of dictate what you say rather than the other way around. I don’t think the result has any value as a piece of writing but it was an interesting exercise.

My wit deserted me when I needed it most but here are a few that I came up with (when I was very short of time, hence their basic appearance).





This may be an opportune moment to announce my retirement from slogan writing.
