50 calls for journalism/writing pitches (January 16, 2023)
I recently moved house to the top of a hill, and my wife likes to commandeer my sedentary-office-life physique for some of the hard labor occasionally. Yesterday it was my job to drag, roll, heave and tug a freshly cut tree (in the shape of a table top) for what felt like 45 years to our new abode. But despite all the sweat, toil and agonising thigh cramps, it was during the most arduous passage that I realised: this is what success is; working as hard as you can to realise a dream and ... nah, bollocks. Can't do it. I'm not a motivational guru. It was awful. I hated every second. I thought I was going to die. So this week's advice is don’t kill yourself working, even for a nice wooden dining table. Do the bits you enjoy.
