Like Father, Like Son

by Ryan Clement IN ‘A writer’s diary for this summer,’ I wrote, “THERE CAN BE NO DOUBT that when the book is published, I would associate it with these Diary blogs and Kos even though 95% of it was written outside the Greek island’s jurisdiction…I HAVE THE SAME FEELING whenever I think of Like Father. It was a sunnyContinue reading “Like Father, Like Son”

A writer’s diary this Summer

by Ryan Clement IT HAS BEEN fascinating seeing how far and wide these blogs have reached. 🌍 🗺️ 🌎 I remember when my first book, Like Father, Like Son, was published and I saw it on the Barnes & Noble website or in a library or in a bookshop. What a feeling! Blogs are fun,Continue reading “A writer’s diary this Summer”

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 andContinue reading “SEVEN DAYS of a Writer’s Diary”

DAY SEVEN of a writer’s diary

by Ryan Clement “Finally, it has been a pleasure having your company over the past seven days.

DAY FIVE of a writer’s diary

If youContinue reading “DAY FIVE of a writer’s diary”

DAY THREE of a writer’s diary

by Ryan Clement TODAY, I walked onto the balcony to (re)observe the scene before opening my computer to continue with writing Day Six of the book. The sunrise was simply indescribable.

DAY TWO of a writer’s diary

by Ryan Clement AS I SAID, today was initially set aside solely for editing. But my legal professional commitments prevented this from happening.

DAY ONE of a writer’s diary

by Ryan Clement IT’S LATE and I have a 6.45am flight ✈️ tomorrow morning from Gatwick South. Although I don’t live too far from the airport, time-wise. I can drive there in 45 minutes. But I wasn’t going to do that drive to get there for 5am, which means leaving home no later than 4.15am,Continue reading “DAY ONE of a writer’s diary”
