Giving the draft posts a new home ….

A while back I blogged about all the little homeless blog posts that I had languishing in my drafts box …. I’ve decided to set them free and unleash them … I was inspired to do this by my lovely colleague Chris Jobling who took the time to comment on my blog and then published his own list of drafts that will never get written and also this article by sarkemedia about Drafty Blogs ! The piece of advice that they give on the sarkemedia.com site is that …   if a draft doesn’t become a post within 90 days it must be deleted If an idea doesn’t have a rough headline it cannot be a draft If an idea isn’t bursting to get onto the page, it’s not ready and shouldn’t be a draft.   I’m not quite sure that this approach will work for me but I hope that my …

Welcome to 2015 … lurgy and all …

Ok well so far in 2015 I am five days in and this is my first post … so that’s my first new years resolution almost forgotten but seemingly saved in the nick of time … #Resolution 1 – Do at least one blog post every week … This is a recycling of last year’s resolution but with a rather ambitious target for me of one for every week rather than at least one every month which is what it sort of turned into in 2014 … notice how I haven’t restricted myself to saying which blog I would be blogging on … So … in my book the 5th January is going to count as Week 1 … May the ramblings commence … I am full of cold at the moment although feel finally sooo much better than I did over Christmas. I am feeling very inspired to spend …
