Sleepless in Moscow

July 2, 2007

I won’t usually be updating this quick but I’ve been consumed by the whole writing dream.

Such grand designs?

June 13, 2007

Earlier today I threw a pen between my hands, trying in vain to break the curse of writers block. It was as I recovered the pen from the dreary carpet for the umpteenth time, that I was struck with the idea of the new Post-It note designs that now proudly adorn the header of my […]
