SEVEN DAYS of a Writer’s Diary

by

Ryan Clement

WHAT STARTED OUT AS AN IDEA has led to a mini-demand for more. I haven’t written more, as my professional obligations on my return to the U.K. have been heavy. Very heavy! And I have had to hit the ground running! 🏃🏾‍♂️

FOR NEWCOMERS, the diary entries capture my daily creativity and the challenges I faced whilst completing my book on Employment Discrimination Law. It details my writing process ✍🏾, the book’s content, and my experience whilst working and holidaying on the beautiful Greek 🇬🇷 island of 🏝️ Kos 🏖️.

DAY SEVEN of a writer’s diary

  • Creative process challenges: Despite my plans to get sufficient rest before an early flight ✈️ from Gatwick before Day ONE of a writer’s diary, I stayed up late due to an energising phone conversation with Caz about our future training plans, resulting in limited sleep but productive writing nevertheless. 
  • Book content and focus: The book, titled, “Discrimination in Employment in 7 Days,” provides a detailed overview of the Equality Act 2010, covering protected characteristics, types of discrimination, employer and employee rights, and employment tribunals’ role and process, structured over seven days for a comprehensive understanding of this area. 
  • Writing timeline and environment: Initially, I had planned to complete the draft last year, 2024, but had to adjust my schedule due to other professional commitments. Therefore, my writing took place in various locations, including Yorkshire, Surrey, Gloucestershire and, finally, Kos, where I found an inspiring room with a balcony and views conducive to creativity.💡
