Bukowski Was Right: Don't Try
I considered writing yesterday, Sunday 15th September, and nothing was working—so I didn’t. In case you are wondering what constitutes Paul Stewart not writing, I finished editing and published an ode to Donna Fox. So, it wasn't exactly an unproductive day.

Are You Building a Career or Just a Brand?
Let’s face it: we’re all living double lives. There’s the version of you that gets up, does the work, and delivers results. And then there’s the curated, polished, LinkedIn-friendly version of you - the one who seems effortlessly successful, constantly grinding, and always "on." Over time, it feels like this second version of ourselves has taken center stage. We’ve become performers in our own career dramas, and honestly, the show is exhausting.

All my Top Stories in one place
Fiction A body on the bridge 1. I remember thinking. Will this photo catch their eyes? It’s dark even though there were lights on the bridge. Then I thought, maybe the title would grab them. Something with death as a quiet wink beneath the title. There was a horrible crime in my city, what a perfect and terrible thing.
