Writing a blog is hard!
Writing a blog is hard work. But if you keep at it, it does get a little easier. People who sell it as a simple 'side hustle' are clearly full of s***
Following the trip to the forest yesterday and a reasonable night's sleep, I have been feeling super productive. Not only have I got some things done at my real job, I have also made some changes to the blog.
It turns out writing a blog is incredibly hard; who would have thought it! But I hope these changes will make it easier and also more fun to read if anyone ever finds the website by accident.

I have created a new page, which at the moment, I am calling Long-form, which is hideously over the top but can act as a placeholder. I intend to use this to write some bigger pieces that cover some of the more serious aspects of our life. Blog, I plan to keep more like a journal. Also, I hope the blog may become a bit more positive, rather than just me moaning about lack of sleep.
One reason for doing this is that I re-read the posts, and realised I haven’t really yet, been able to explain why things have been so hard. I suppose that is partly structural and partly mental. But I hope this will help.
ps. I love stock images; everything is so pretty and slightly hipster…this is not my desk setup.
Writing a blog - The above post is part of a series I am trying to write, recording the progress (or lack of) of setting up and writing the blog itself. Maybe that is a little self-indulgent. But it might help someone else, and I have actually been enjoying the process.
