This can be a tough one to accept. If you are a creative person there will always be people in your life who will never: Understand why you spend hours, days, months, years working on the same story. Understand why you read so many books a week. Share your creative enthusiasm for your creative projects. Understand […]
This week I am taking a little break from book reviews. I am exhausted after reading a lot of great romance novels and if I am honest I don’t know how the serious book bloggers keep going. Reviewing books is exhausting, especially romance novels, which send your emotions into a tailspin. I am also missing […]
Here are some similarities between blogging and relationships: In a relationship there will be some special moments leaving you breathless and tingling; a surprise romantic dinner, a love note pinned to the fridge, hand holding in the cinema and a smouldering look across a busy bar.

Sadly there is no photo evidence of this great celebration. Rita Bhatha from www.butismileanyway.com not only has a great blog but she […]
I am always on the look out for guest bloggers to take over BlondeWriteMore for a day, so I was thrilled when lifestyle blogger Jasmine from the blog ‘Thoughts From Jasmine’ accepted my guest post invite. Jasmine’s posts are chatty and engaging. She writes her posts in such a way you feel like you are sat […]
You can build some great connections online with other bloggers. With some blogging connections it can feel like you have found your online Best Friend Forever (BFF), even though you’ve never actually met face to face. Meeting your online BFF in real life can get a little crazy. As I have met most of my […]
My recent post titled 35 Things You Don’t See When You Buy a Book proved popular, so I thought I would see if I could come up with a similar list for blog posts. A lot of time, effort and creative suffering can go into the production of a blog post, which sadly the blog […]
