Blogging every day for a month: what happened?
If you’ve been following me lately, you’ll know I was planning to blog every day for a month. I love creating ridiculous challenges for myself and I’ve always admired those bloggers who somehow manage to push out quality content every single day – so I thought… why shouldn’t I try the same thing?

Ask the Blogger: Did Your Blog Make You Famous?
There are many popular and well-known bloggers out there, but how many gained fame from their blog? Can you name any? Who are your favourites?

Ask the blogger: can you really make money from blogging?
I have always been curious to find out how much other people make from their blogs (and I’m guessing you might be curious too!) Do they use their blog as a main source of income? Is that even possible? And, more importantly, do they make more money than I do? You may have read about…

I’d like to reassure you that while that number looks impressive, there…

The nine stages of accidentally publishing an article
It ignites terror in every blogger world-wide. That moment when you accidentally hit Publish instead of Save Draft or when you schedule an unedited blog post for the distant future, only to completely forget about it. SPOILER ALERT for any of you living under a pebble who have yet to watch Game of Thrones season 1, 2, 3,…

When you are single and a romance writer
A million to one unexpected things happened to me in 2016, but what I definitely didn’t expect was to still be single this February. I shouldn’t be surprised. I’m well into my late twenties and I’ve never been in love, so why did I think 2016 would be any different? Rather ironically, as you can tell from the title,…
