I was that newbie blogger who thought so naively that blogging would be an easy way to document my daughters birth and everything going forward with our family lives. Who was I kinding!? It's bloody hard work and takes so much time and dedication to keep up with. I admit I haven't tried my best with my blog. I've let it slip a few times which I know is not what I want as it upsets me everytime. I only let myself down. I have recently decided enough is enough and I want to get serious.
- I want people to take me seriously.
- I want others to think I'm doing a good job and want to come back to my blog.
- I want Penelope to be proud of this space I've created all in honor of her arrival and life.
I am proud of my blog of course I am. For me just care for something for coming up 2 years in June is massive; unheard of even. I've never stuck at a hobby, ever! I have what's called a 'Flitter Brain'...
It's a real problem guys, I will get into something I enjoy and then flitter repeatedly to other things never finding something that I truly love and want to stick too. It was hard for so long not knowing what truly was for me. People have singing, drawing, sewing, football, swimming etc etc. But I just never found my 'thing'.

I'm not a perfect blogger and I haven't put anywhere near enough effort into it as I would want to if I'm honest with myself. I know I could do 100% better with posting regularly and making things more regular. I adore everything I've written minus the bad grammar. I'm a real person I make real mistakes including written ones. I can only improve.
The last few weeks I've been clearing out our spare room, its taken a while because there was so much crud in there that really was not needed. I have a special place just for me too blog, vlog, write, doodle, and think anything I wish in peace. I have a blogging space, a place for me to work my butt of and get my blog to a position I know I can get it too!
I have a few things to add and will most likely keep moving things around but I'm chuffed with it so far! What do you think?
Do you have a blogging space or maybe you'd like one?
My blogging space is currently at my kitchen table, which is a nightmare for 2 reasons, my laptop is always open so I end up 'popping on' way too often and because I don't have a space to concentrate and get my head in the zone I end up procrastinating way too much! We have 2 reception rooms, one being our 'family' room that currently has a huge corner sofa in it. Hopefully in the next few months we can get rid of that and make some space for me! xx
ReplyDeleteI think removal of the sofa is of big importance. I've had a huge boost of motivation by having this space. its an incredible change! I'll look out for a possible post once you set up shop? xx
DeleteI'm happy you finally have your own space where you can relax and concentrate. I can't wait for my desk to come at the end of the month. Eeek! x
ReplyDeleteThankyou lovely, its much better. I will be so great once you have yours set up also. I cant wait to see how amazing you feel! Let the inspiration flow x
DeleteI blog from my dinner table our flat is small but one day I'd love my own little blogging space.
ReplyDeleteWe just moved from a flat, and I definitely didnt have room for a chair let alone a desk. I feel you on that one but it will happen one day x
DeleteI do have a space but I tend to blog on the sofa in the mornings.
ReplyDeleteIt just depends on what works for you. I can't blog on the sofa it drives me mad and kills my back for some reason. I must hunch or something.
DeleteGlad you've got your own space I think it'll give you a time to focus and be more productive. I did have an office but just changing the house round will get it back be the end of the year I hope x
ReplyDeleteIt has made such a difference to my motivation to blog. I feel happy to do it and not dreading being uncomfortable etc. I'm so glad I decided on doing it now x
DeleteThis is a lovely honest post. We just invested in creating an office. We have a lovely room with a great desk to blog at, I still end up sat in bed blogging because I'm comfy here haha. It's warmer. I find I get more done though when I sit in my little productive space. Good luck with keeping the motivation. xxx
ReplyDeleteThankyou I love it when people see the honesty in my writing, typos and all. Oh dont get me wrong sometimes I take my butt to the bed if im planning just to do some comment replies or something, but to write i come in 'the space' and its awesome to have the choice to do that. x
DeleteI desperately want a blogging area in our house but we just don't have the space for it. We have a pretty small house. Luckily we do have a cellar that I use as my stock room and laundry room so I could reorganise that with a desk etc, but I'm not sure I like the idea of working down there all day! Your space is lovely xx
ReplyDeleteYou could make it a really cosy little nook though I suppose. That would excite me working in the cellar, like a secret blogging lair x
DeleteHope your new - lovely - blogging space helps you achieve what you want with your blog. I wish I had a blogging space, at the moment I blog wherever I am in the house with the laptop and with the house being cramped I doubt I will get a space to call my own for a long time!
ReplyDeleteThankyou, its helping me at the moment with my motivation to keep going. I was in such a rut before now. x
DeleteI dream for a blogging space. My own little desk with post its and special photos. I love your new space.
ReplyDeleteThankyou lovely, thats really kind of you. Hope you get your own space soon too x
