To try and get me back into the swing of blogging, enjoy this post of quote. I WILL be back tomorrow with a post. Ari x
Last few weeks have seen us relocating to Northern Ireland... and boy has that been "chaos in a hurricane"! I am still unpacking boxes, trying to find cables and getting settled. Should be back to regularly scheduled programming next week. Thanks for your patience Ari
Our time is precious and we shouldn't waste it on things we don't wish to, but we all have those moments of feeling pushed into things, feeling guilty... time to let that go. Today I wanted to share this Ted tAlk video from Sarah Knight about the Life-Changing Magic of Not Giving a F*#k. Enjoy!
I guess technically I've already been on hiatus, but I hadn't really acknowledged it to myself. Instead, I have just constantly been berating myself for not keeping up with my blogging schedule (amongst other things) which has perpetuated the cycle of stress and self-hate. But I am now very aware that I've been struggling more than I realised recently and need to take an actual step back from my online places for a short time.
Since it feels hotter than then sun over here in England and I am not coping with it (since being English means we barely even SEE the sun) I haven't been able to write a post. Rubbish of me I know. So here is a Ted Talk by Dr Cal Newport all about quitting social media. I will discuss the reason for this video when I stop melting on the floor. Enjoy
Since I am still wicked ill, I can't get my head to work enough to write a full article. So, today I thought I would share with you 13 of my favourite blogs. These are all writing blogs that are full of wonderful posts and written by awesome people.
I've been online for many years, well before social media became a thing and when people used to chat in forums and on AIM and MSN messenger (showing my age).
However, with this so-called 'Social Media', all I am finding is a lack of real connections and a lack of actual social interactions (even virtual ones).
Writers often get asked questions when people find out we write.
Some questions are okay, some are understandable and some are downright annoying.
These are all questions I've been asked at one time or another. To my fellow writers, any of these sound familiar?
As I am still struggling with some things I haven't been able to get myself sorted with a proper blog post. However I did want to get back to a schedule of Friday posting.
So I thought I would share with you some of my favourite memes and quotes that are either about writers or at least could be 🙂
If you have any great quotes, please share them in the comments. I would love to hear from you. Have you any specific quotes that have been inspirational to you during the writing process?
