Personal blogging can be hard: any blogger who blogs about their life, be it in reference to parenting, lifestyle, memoir – you name it – could probably tell you that.

There was a moment in The Voice either this week or last where an eliminated male contestant stepped down from the stage to walk off the set. Seal stood up to catch this contestant’s attention just as he was leaving and the microphones picked up a snippet of their conversation. Along with other word of…
I’ve not been feeling ‘blogging-centric’ this week. I wouldn’t call it writers’ block (because, as I’ve said before, I don’t really believe in it), and a ‘block’ normally indicates a fixable problem – there’s something wrong that just needs the right tools to budge.

The amazing work of Guy Laramee – making carved landscapes out of books. Go to his website to see the rest. This deliciously sarcastic blog post entitled ‘You’re Bored? That’s so AWESOME!‘ has some nice links to follow if perhaps you find yourself in a similar predicament one day. I’d heard of the mosaic method…
