Fabulous. But what a cliffhanger!!
Will TiredSam prevail? Is the Charite just a front for the sinister BPS cabal? Will we have to wait until October for the next season? I don't know but I'm hooked. It's like The Blacklist, only with questionnaires.

The week-end! How could you think we can wait until the weekend to read it? (OK, technically I guess it is Saturday now.)
Well thank-you. No, I never worked in marketing. I haven't really done any writing for a long time, but am really enjoying it at the moment. It's something I can do from the sofa. The cliff-hanger thing and the buzz was an accident, I wanted to write a detailed blog but it was too much work to do all in one go, hence the installments.
I'm loving it, and would be very happy to do more of this type of thing.

To be perfectly honest Sam, I don't think your audience has got a lot on. 
Ouch. That's dashed my hopes of being the next Wellcome Prize winnerTo be perfectly honest Sam, I don't think your audience has got a lot on.
. Steal a sick man's dreams, why don't you? They warned me about the critics ...*Spoiler Alert*
They currently have no treatment or cure to offer me. I consider my trip there to have been beneficial in a number of ways, but if you're reading my blog hoping it's going to end with a treatment or cure other than keep up the pacing, it ain't gonna happen. I'm very sorry to have read about your daughter, and wouldn't want my blog to be stringing you along with false hope. I wish you the very best for her and for yourself
I Think PR are always looking for writers to write blogs - why don't you ask them?
Maybe I'll just keep blogging ...

So now are you going to combine all of the installments into a book?
I thought a slim, leather bound volume would make a nice present for the christmas market. First 50 would be signed and have an extra installment - The Return Journey. Not sure whether I'll be able to fit it in with my other literary commitments at present, but I'll certainly bounce the idea off my agent.So now are you going to combine all of the installments into a book?
Will you now board an Elven ship bound for the misty reduced Grey Matters, to where all bearers of our burden must eventually retreat and dwell?
Yours has been a mighty tale, Sam, and I suspect (and hope!) more adventures await you...stories that will summon you back to pen still again.

By popular demand and as part of PR's autumn schedule I am pleased to announce that Season 2 - The Report and its Aftermath - will be coming to your (computer) screens shortly.

I hear it's not as good as the first series.
