We at James Proclaims fully recognise our role in the continuing propagation of low-quality, ill-informed content that continues to plague the blogosphere. In particular, we cannot ignore our contribution to the unhelpful trend of publishing mediocre, and occasionally very bad poetry. Our continuing barbarism of the once elegant Haiku form is particularly troubling and does…

The Last Post: Why I’m Giving Up Blogging Forever
Hello, I’m James and this is my blog, ‘James Proclaims’. This is my 757th post on this particular blog. I thought it was going to be my 750th but I appear to have overshot by a week. Last Wednesday’s post, entitled ‘The Insurance Industry Doesn’t Want You To Know About This Simple Life Hack Which…
Don’t Call It A Comeback
It is the 18th November, which quite possibly means that Christmas is nearly upon us. It also means that I haven’t troubled the blogosphere for a good four months. At least I imagine it’s been a good four months if you really don’t like my writing. But then I would hypothesise that you wouldn’t be…
The Re-emergence Of A Man Who Claims To Proclaim
It’s been almost three full months since I last elected to post on these pages, over five months since the post that preceded that and, aside from a flurry of activity over the Christmas period, it’s been a little over a year since I can claim to have been producing content regularly, so you might…
Ninety-One
Do bloggers blog about the very act of blogging when they can’t think what else to blog about? Perhaps so. I know I’ve been guilty of that before. And perhaps I’m guilty of that today. I’ve got loads of things I want to blog about though, so this post is not entirely about a lack…
Less Is More. More Or Less.
Sometimes, when I can’t think of anything to write about, I write about the fact that I can’t think of anything to write about. It’s a little self-contradictory but it solves a problem. Equally, when I don’t really have time to write anything, I occasionally write about the fact that I haven’t got time to…
The Elephant In The Room
Hello people of the blogosphere. I’m back after something of an unplanned hiatus from the world of blogging. I wasn’t sure what to write about for this post – on the one hand my first post in a while ought to be a spectacular affair, both witty and profound, irreverent yet informative, offering reassurances to…
James Attains!
Hello people who read my posts. Today is a very exciting day for two reasons, both of which pertain to this very blog. Firstly, it’s an exciting day because today is my two year blogiversary. That’s right it’s been two whole years since a slightly younger, slightly greener (in the metaphorical sense of lacking experience…
My 2016 Blog Report
This time last year I got my first ever annual blog report from WordPress. I didn’t ask for it but they sent it anyway. And actually it was pretty cool. It didn’t tell me anything earth shattering that I didn’t already know. I was eight months into my blogging journey at that point and I…
The Night Knight Rises
It’s been something like six and half weeks since I last blogged. Which is quite a long time. The longest I’ve ever gone AWOL from this blog before was around three weeks. Weirdly it was around this time last year. October, as it turns out, is not a strong blogging month for me. I could…
B Is For Blogosphere
Sometimes people that I know will refer to something I’ve written on these pages. It always takes me by surprise. I do know people read this and indeed I actively encourage it. These are not my innermost private thoughts. Generally not much thought goes into anything I write, (except when I make the poems rhyme…
