Emily of Sugar and Spice and all things nice
I started my blog just over a year ago. I work in politics and therefore don’t have much of an opportunity for creative writing, so the blog was – and is – an outlet for my writing. The blog has also encouraged me to be more imaginative in the way I dress, both for work and play.

5 things I’ve learned about blogging:
- Things can only get better. When I look back at some of my early posts, I cringe. It’s only been a year since I started blogging and already I can see a huge improvement.
- Photos make a post more inviting. Don’t just post words, or just photos; a combination is more likely to entice people into reading it.
- It won’t always be fun. There are some days when I don’t necessarily feel like blogging and inspiration seems to leave me. But it always comes back.
- The number of people reading your blog really shouldn’t matter all that much but for some reason, it often does.
- Read read read. Other blogs, magazine articles, whatever – it is all inspiration and learning.
