About Richard Herring
Hello and welcome. I am really very excited to be giving this a go, as I hope it’s going to be a great place for me to share my writing, experiment with some new ideas and also give you extra audio and video content too. I’ve been writing a blog called Warming Up since November 25th 2002 and haven’t missed a day (it’s the second longest consecutive daily blog in the world- unless the other guy has died) and that will feature prominently, but I’m also hoping this platform will encourage me to do other bits of writing: stuff like my old Metro column, short stories and I’ve always wanted to have a crack at an episodic novel, chapter by chapter, like Charles Dickens used to do. Well we’ll see about that.
But I think it will be cool to have a place where people who like my stuff can come and interact with me and each other in (hopefully) a friendly environment without any twats in it (well I’ll still be here, but you know what I am talking about).
I am going to keep it mostly free to begin with, but if it feels like it’s turning into a thing then I might fence off some of the stuff for paid subscribers.
