Episode 6 - Blogging Flow

—You’ve got that bloody notebook again, Bob. 

—Yeah, I’ll have it all the time now, mate. 

—Why?

—Well, Andy’s given us the keys to the blog, so to speak, right? 

—Yeah?

—So, we gotta try and make it useful. 

—I want me coffee and a bloody sarnie, mate. Bollocks to that blogging shite. 

—Ah yeah, yer can still ‘ave them, yer yampy sod. 

—Right. I’ll get ‘em in then. Hold up.

(Sound of the espresso machine screaming and a plate clattering)

—Here ya are, Robert.

—Why thank you, Joseph but why are we talking all posh? 

—People are gonna be reading. 

—Don’t worry, Andy said be natural. 

—Thank fuck for that. What we on about for this one? 

—I been learning how to write in a flow. 

—A flow? What like in a stream or summat? 

—Yeah, exactly that. Yer let the core idea come out. Write a sentence that says what it is. Then, yer write with that sentence in mind. 

—What’s that do? 

—Makes you write about that one thing. And then? Shut up. But the big thing is, yer words should flow. Like a waterfall. 

—Mate, yer starting to sound like a fucking poet. 

—Ah. Don’t mean to. Trying to think of a way to put it. It’s a big point. 

—I got a way.

—‘Ave yer, Joe? 

—Yeah. Use “because of that”. 

—Er—

—Like this. Hello, today I’m gonna talk about some shite or other. Because of that… And then, because of that… See? See how that works? That’d make a flow, right? 

—Fuck me, Joe. That’s proper good that is. 

—Not just a pretty—

—Mate, don’t go there. You’ve got a face like a slapped arse. 

—Fuck off. 

—Anyway, never mind his expletives. Flow. That’s the thing. Let the words come out in a natural sequence. Say what you’ve got to say. How yer want to say it. 

—What then, Bob? 

—Job’s a good ‘un. Done an’ dusted. 

—Ah, I see. I like that. 

—Knew yer would. 

—Right, ‘ave yer finished banging on? I want another brew.
