National Blog Posting Month

It’s here again. Every year I tell myself I’m not going to do it again and the next year I do. When I say every year, I’ve only been doing it for two years, so that was a bit hyperbolic of me…or was it? I really shouldn’t use words if I’m not sure that they [...]

A post-less month

I realised, when October began, that September was the first month for at least a year, if not since I started my life as a blogger, that I failed to write a single post. I suspect this was due to a combination of it being the beginning of the academic year, moving to a new [...]

Odds and ends

Odds
Well, the concert didn’t go as badly as I feared it might. In fact, most of it went quite well, apart from the bit in I Vow To Thee My Country when we all started singing the second verse when actually we should have been silent and waiting for the piano introduction to finish. It was one [...]

Slow Blogging

Yesterday I read about Slow Blogging.  Contrary to what the article says, Mr Sieling does seem to be blogging again, or at least he was on 21st November, so that’s good. Although I am currently participating in NaBloPoMo and therefore blogging particularly fast, I think the idea of Slow Blogging is a good one. From [...]

Time management (lack of)

I had something planned to write for today’s post, but unfortunately my planning didn’t extend to time management and I now only have ten minutes of my lunch hour left. As I’m going to choir practice tonight I fear it might not get written today. Sorry. It wasn’t wildly exciting (funnily enough), so don’t worry, [...]

It’s too late

at night to start writing a decent blog post now. I tried to write one earlier, but couldn’t think of what to write and I still can’t! I haven’t achieved very much this evening. I sat and pondered what to write in my blog post. I started writing something about a concert I went to [...]

How do I blog thee, let me count the ways…

No, perhaps that doesn’t quite work. The next of Lorelle’s blog challenges that I’m going to attempt is to write about how I blog. I don’t think this is going to be a very long post as I don’t blog in very many different ways at all!
Usually, I just sit down and start typing. Well, there is more [...]

The audience in my head

(Blogging challenge: Describe your blogging audience)
Hmm, well, this is the next of Lorelle’s challenges that I think I should, in theory, be able to do. I could just describe the people I know in real life who read my blog, but they might not like that, and I’m not sure that all of them still [...]

Blog Challenge: Who is writing your blog?

The next challenge on Lorelle’s list, or at least the next one that I think I’ve got a reasonable chance of being able to do, is to try and explain who is writing your blog.
I’m not sure whether my blogging persona is very different from me in real-life. Both are prone to waffling, dullness and [...]

Blogging challenge: Blog about what you know

This one is definitely going to be a challenge. In her post, Lorelle says, “Think about all that you know and then choose the one thing that you would arrogantly assume you were the master of. Then write about it.” There could be a slight problem with me trying to answer her challenge, in that [...]
