Welcome to the Chris Michaels Blog. Below is a selection of scribbles from my ADHD ridden brain. These sporadic thoughts are the ones I was able to retain just long enough to form random blogs and short stories. Mentally fermented, then beautifully regurgitated into your screen, via the medium of hyper-focused keyboard chunder. If you’re just here for the short stories, you can find them on the hyperlinks below.
Big Love,
Chris Michaels.

Donkeys Years
It’s been a good while since I wrote a blog post. I just didn’t write one one day and that day turned into months, then into 4 years, give or take an hour. It’s funny how life runs away with you, then, after you climb down from that time warping tortoise and adjust yourself, you’re…
Inspiration
White cold and absent letters, I am void of accomplishment. Reaching out to you my dear, praying for an acknowledgement. Is it you, could it be, returning to my page? . It is I, it shall be, returning as your sage. I send you static, I breathe you life, Feel my warmth, release your strife. …
Time
Give me more time and I’ll achieve it all. Far short our endeavours have thus far fall And I am guilty of these failures wholehearted No standard of greatness have I ever safeguarded. Distraction, contraction, my attention inaction, Attraction, impaction, a duration reaction. Just give me more time and I’ll achieve it all. Free me…
First Draft ✅
Bonjour. So, as promised I didn’t write another blog post. Four whole months later and I’m back, to tell you, I can really shake that… no no that. I’m here to tell you that I wrote the first draft of a screen play. Bosh! Now I just need to redraft it, then redraft some more……
A note to self?
Good morning you beautiful people. I’ve been absent for a short while. Took a six weeks holiday to spend time on the farm with family. Sal wanted to go home for part of her maternity leave, so off we went. Packed up the car, inserted Tiny T and the Woofer into said car… ‘so long…
Hi, is this the support group for caffeine addicts?
I’ve given up Caffeine… sort of. It was an emotionally difficult choice to make but coffee has become something of an abusive lover. I drink it because I want it, but it’s no good for me. The more I drink thinking it will change, the more it resists and the more disillusioned I become. This…
An Emotional Retraction to the Norm.
It’s weird how you change when you have a child. I’ve always been quite emotionally detached… comes with the job. I’ve seen a lot of death, grief and suffering thus far in my career. It’s rarely fair and frequently heartbreaking. I’ve seen those who were ready to die but weren’t allowed. I’ve seen those who…
All the Gear, a Vague Idea.
You ever have a child and wonder what you did before they came along? I’m at that moment now. Having spent the last year in and out of lockdown, I struggle to remember how I actually filled my time. Now I can’t remember having time, free time, to do with as I please. Life now…
“The Vegans are coming!”
It’s a weird concept being allergic to Cows milk protein. I suppose it’s more of a weird concept that we actually drink cow’s milk in the first place. Vegans Unite! Not really, I do love dairy. It’d be the one thing I’d struggle to give up. Not even milk, it’s the cheese and yogurt I’d…
