I have been going through a similar crisis lately where I don’t want to do any of the creative things that I used to do including blogging.

In regards to the later the vapidity of many blogs(and their comments)turns me off.

As for the whole copyright thing I got into a mess with Ken Russell’s people two years ago. It left me terrified to post anything at first but I eventually got over it. Movies are a big thing for me so having a legendary director come after me broke my heart in a way.

To me your blog stands out because of your unique voice and collages so keep blogging!!!

I tried to post a comment on your summer post above but it timed out – however I wanted to say I do love a bit of honest waxing talk and wish there was more of it!

Secondly, having just seen this post, thank you for the compliments and link. I say, don’t even try to think about where you fit in. It doesn’t matter. You’re obviously a very well-respected post-woman. Succeeding because of what you are already doing. x

I read the first couple of sentences and worried you were up and leaving. Glad you’re not.

There aren’t many using phrases as fabulous as ‘crise du blog’.

Stay true to yourself and your blog. Your loyal followers and readers need you to point us towards all the lovely cool things that we don’t have time to find ourselves. The key reason for being in London as a media business is purely to play the PR game, and as much as we all love the odd freebee, it is a fickle game. Your blog is an extension of you, its very personal and that’s why we love it. You don’t need to prove anything to anyone. We love you just the way you are. It’s easy for people to get sucked into the backstabbing arena, it’s not a nice place, I have been there, I’m still there but trying to get out!
You have achieved so much and as long as you still enjoy it, we still enjoy reading… x

I hate it when people (PRs) ask for my stats too so I simply don’t give them. In fact, I rarely look at Google Analytics these days so I can honestly say ‘I don’t know’ when people ask. But also, traffic is only one factor of a blog’s worth from a commercial point of view. (I know you’re not blogging commercially and I wasn’t to start with, but now it is leading to ‘real work’ for me in some cases so I have to think about these things!) Anyway, glad you’re not quitting the blog. When’s your next London trip?

Ah thanks for the praise Rachael! I agree there are a ton of blogs out there, and a lot of them are damn fine. It’s a tough balance to strike to be both personal without narcissism, informative and irreverent and fresh.

Looking forward to your new posts! x
