I have been a devoted, prolific diarist for very many years, from childhood through to the present, propelled by the luxury of owning a detailed record of my life. I have always kept two copies of my diaries–in different towns–to avoid accidental loss. In 2013 the number of words I have written exceeds 7,000,000.
Formerly in code (before the purchase of a computer), my diary entries reach around 1000-4000 words per day and have included subjects such as living with a drug dealer, experimenting with drugs, wandering and sleeping rough, shoplifting, squatting, my affairs with women, and unknowingly dating a transsexual woman.
I love my diaries. They are my life’s work and my joy. I aim to make a career out of revisiting them for publication.
