No News September again

 Last September I did No News September. For the month, I avoided the temptation to look at the news. 

I managed it quite well. Didn't read the newspaper at work, or listen to the radio, or if the news was on the TV at home,  I walked away. Yep, I managed it quite well. 

I was inspired by re-reading a particular book I'd found in the library, "Stop Reading The News."  Written by a journalist, he gave up the news and felt so much better for it. 

Here is the post in 2024 where I talk about giving up the news.

 And here is a post I wrote after "No News" was over.

So this September I will do it again. I need to re-read the book for inspo, but I'm excited to be doing No News September for 2025!.

When I wrote the first one I had the idea of making sure that Alexi had brothers, in case I wanted it to be a series rather than just a standalone, and here they all are. Alexi, Angelo and Alberto. The Gabardi Brothers. In fact, I wrote the first one during a lockdown when I had already booked in annual leave from work and we were told, we still had to take it. Even though we couldn't go anywhere. Bloody brilliant, I thought. A week to do nothing except see if I can finish the first draft of this book that I wrote the first and only chapter for ages ago. This was truly amazing, thought I, and I would NEVER get this opportunity ever again. I couldn't go anywhere, see anyone, do anything.  And so for that week I wrote the book and finished it. So what is it about? When Alberto Gabardi decid...
