About...

Paul Baker

Waterloo-based journalist, Paul Baker, likes to think of himself as an urban bohemian, spending his days indulging fantasies of being a 'serious' writer, musician and photographer. He is actually a disagreeably honest and pathologically argumentative ne'er-do-well. Join him as he wades through this thing we call life, this city we call home, and all things despicable!

The places I've been, the things I've seen...

Posted by Paul Baker on February 7, 2008 12:34 PM | 

I've been a naughty boy. I've not been keeping up my visits to this blog, in fact I have been giving my self to another!

Yes, at the start of the year I set myself a challenge - a resolution was made to write a short story every day for the next 12 months and stick it on the internet for all to see.
I decided to give myself the weekend off (!) but I have managed to keep it up so far and am a month in. It's good fun and I feel like I am creating an interesting body of work. Plus it is helping me improve as a writer.
The stories are short - between 300 and 800 words daily - and subject matter varies wildly. But people are coming back to read the tales each day (I know because an invisible web counter tells me so), so that's pretty cool.
If you'd like to check it out the adress is as follows:

I will keep this blog going to put down my musings about anything crazy I observe and it should pick up once Capital of Culture gets into full swing (if it ever does - is it really 2008 out there??)
Please feel free to comment on either site to let me know what you think or if you notice that Capital of Culture is actually happening, out there, somewhere.
