The Unofficial Guide to Being Human Patrick’s notes

A note for
one reader.

That would be you. Every so often I send a note about the ordinary things I have been thinking through, the bits I got wrong, and what helped me. New writing and book news turn up here too.

A work in progress,
just like everyone else.

01 / THE HUMAN BIT

Small things I have noticed.

The moments that seem ordinary until you realise someone else has been there too.

02 / THE HONEST BIT

What I tried and learned.

Ideas from my own experience, including the ones that needed another go.

03 / THE BOOK BIT

New writing, when it is ready.

News about the books and fresh thoughts from the journal.
