Um... hi! *Waves*

The new site is taking a bit more work than I imagined and I seem to be neglecting all things blogging while I deal with it. Thank you for being patient... I'll be back soonish!

Living Room News

I’ve been moaning about the blogging situation for a while. I don’t know if it’s Twitter or the amount of work I need to get done offline or just simply a declining interest, but From the Living Room is becoming difficult to maintain; it’s beginning to feel like a chore. That said, I still love blogging: the writing for people who read what you’ve written; the meeting other bloggers; the drive to write constantly, even when writing isn’t going well.

I’m in the middle of setting up a new site. It’s going to take a little while longer to get up and running, but it’s well under way. I’m going to take From the Living Room over there with me, but I’ll update it more sporadically than I do now. I will also be setting up a new blog, which will have more of a theme and will hopefully help my fiction writing as much as providing my regular blog content. I’ll have pages for my poetry and fiction over there too, which will hopefully encourage me to take a broader approach to writing online. You’ll even get an honest profile picture instead of my usual feather!

I hope that you’ll all come over and visit me when I move my living room. I’ll let you know the address as soon as it’s ready. In the meantime, please bear with my inability to keep up with other blogs. I hope to be back soon!

Lilac Wine

I'm feeling very uninspired on the blog front at the moment. I don't know why exactly but I know there are a few of you in the same position. I'm planning on moving my web content later this year and making it a little less blog-centred. It's a bit of a chicken and egg situation but it definitely has something to do with my current drought.

While I try to think of something interesting to write, I'll leave you with this beautiful video of The Cinematic Orchestra's cover of Lilac Wine by Jeff Buckley. Because at least feeling uninspired gives me a good excuse to post videos!
