I haven’t sat at the computer and just typed for quite a while. I don’t know why this is, because I’ve had loads to write about as I’ve been studying many personal development books on the topics of parenting, clutter and time management and I have enough material but haven’t felt inspired enough to write a … Continue reading
It’s been almost three weeks since the final post of My Writing Challenge.

It’s written by … Continue reading
Whether you are writing for yourself or others, it really helps if you enjoy what you are writing about. Since I was four I’ve mostly written for myself – diaries, journals, notes etc. In more recent years, my writing focus has changed and although I still keep personal journals, I also love writing for others (on … Continue reading
This is day 183 which marks the half way point of My Writing Challenge. I feel that I now need to organise the content not only for historical posts but also future ones, so that they are all accessible to readers of this blog. I will update the site to make it easy to do things like ‘search by category’ or ‘find the most popular … Continue reading
