Man Writes Blog is the mostly unreliable journal of a struggling comedy writer living and working in London.

Due to the unique way in which Man Writes Blog is funded, no guarantees can be made about the frequency of updates, but it should be worth checking the site at least once a week.

Any similarity between characters portrayed in this blog and actual persons, living or dead, is almost certainly intentional but, let's be honest, difficult to prove.

The quality of entries may go down as well as up.

Yes, you can. Man Writes Blog has an RSS feed here if you understand such things — this will let you know as soon as there has been an update.

Otherwise, just pop back every now and then with your preferred internet browser. It looks a lot nicer anyway.

Blogging, like mainstream religion, is ultimately about how many followers you've got, so if you enjoy Man Writes Blog, please tell your friends about it.

If your friends happen to work in the publishing or entertainment industries, all the better.

If you're on Facebook, please join the Man Writes Blog page. Maybe your friends will see you're a fan, and become fans too. And thus the circle of life will continue.

Other ways to help promote Man Writes Blog include:

• having a tattoo of the URL in a prominent place on your body,
• holding a Man Writes Blog party in your street and inviting all your neighbours,
• or, killing a well-known public figure and saying that hidden messages in the blog told you to do it.
