The 12-Minute Blog — Robbie Swale

Here you can find my 12-minute blog, with each piece written in one 12-minute sitting, proof-read once and posted online with all its imperfections.

I have written one post a week in this way since August 2016. The pictures show where the pieces were written and you can read more about the origins of the 12-Minute Method here.
