It is interesting to read about a blog creation and how the writer organises themselves. I totally get what you mean about not wanting to copy others ideas as it is theirs not yours. I often read posts like that and wish I had thought of it first!sustainablemumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04099701194160334671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7390436548583166562.post-77885029306976445792014-07-15T12:07:06.583+01:002014-07-15T12:07:06.583+01:00It's been great to read about the thinking beh...It's been great to read about the thinking behind your blog, Tess. I don't think I plan anymore - it was getting to all-consuming. So now I just blog when something occurs to me, or when I wish to show a particular piece of work I have finished. Please don't change your blog - it works, and it is you! xCathyCATHY DANIELhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04099781286858899156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7390436548583166562.post-34040015397230477052014-07-14T11:37:13.391+01:002014-07-14T11:37:13.391+01:00So beautifully put, Tess...

My blog just happens, I don't really plan posts anymore like I used to in the "early days". It has it's own life. And the very best part of blogging is the friendships made along the way. I've known you some years now--what a lovely thing! :o) ((HUGS))Tracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09179096002434748927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7390436548583166562.post-27357777938020730822014-07-14T09:52:15.746+01:002014-07-14T09:52:15.746+01:00Annie has a wonderful way with words doesn't s...Annie has a wonderful way with words doesn't she. I loved reading this post, and I agreed with so much that you say about wanting to have more structure or a plan or spontaneity or new ideas. But then I usually just turn up and write. I always like to know how other people do it, and it's fascinating to hear about different creative processes. I think ours are fairly similar!

I agree that writing is all about savouring ordinary moments - moments that otherwise often pass us by - and appreciating how special they really are. xxxisabellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07800975757387187365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7390436548583166562.post-17301671944177361192014-07-14T08:45:08.464+01:002014-07-14T08:45:08.464+01:00I just did this post yesterday, and I found it inc...I just did this post yesterday, and I found it incredibly hard to write, when I just write, I write, but when I had to think about what and how and why it all seemed impossible!!

It's funny how it just seems to come easily for some people. You have had a good stab at explaining your reasons - and after seven years of blogging it's a wonder that you have any original ideas left - good on you for keeping at it.elaine https://www.blogger.com/profile/17075935631756457901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7390436548583166562.post-35792793586778746752014-07-13T22:28:08.712+01:002014-07-13T22:28:08.712+01:00I promise to try and post my thoughts on the matte...I promise to try and post my thoughts on the matter.

And also the fact that you keep on writing regularly. Top marks m'dear. AxMagic Beanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07659823964712899460noreply@blogger.com
