I’m doing something exciting… At least I think it’s exciting. So much so I’m liable to wee my pants.
I’m launching a new website. A new blog. See, I made a bit of a school boy error when I started this blog, I focused solely on non-fiction, and I swore, a lot.
Now, that’s great, if you read non-fiction or are a writer, or have dark sense of humour like me. But not so good for if you’re trying to attract fiction readers of a very specific genre.
DEEP SIGH.
So here is me, warming you up to the fact that come January I’ll also be blogging somewhere else… That doesn’t mean this blog will go. Oh no. This blog-badger is here to stay. I’m just going to make my life supremely difficult and have two sites!
Now, you might have had enough of my hyperbole, cause I do have a habit of droning on… But if you haven’t, and you’re interested in following my journey to publishing my fiction, then you might wanna hop over here:
Right now, you’ll see the sum total of naff all. A sign up for blogs and a newsletter sign up, and that’s aboot it. But come January, that badgers going into hyperdrive.
Why you might wanna follow the new blog:
If you’re interested in:
a) Young Adult fiction – I’ll be posting reviews of books and recommendations
b) Young Adult crazes – I’m a child – what can I say
c) Interested specifically in my fiction books and launches (sign up to the fiction newsletter there! Or use this link)
d) Interested in where I get my inspiration from – i.e. conspiracies, photography, life the universe and the number 42
e) Like book photography
F) Me ranting, or voicing opinions using a plethora of interesting words!
G) Being nosy
The content while it will be frequent in the early part of the year, will likely drop to weekly as I get closer to publishing and need more preparation time.
That’s it. You’re free to move on. Announcement over.
Yep why not overdo. It!! Best of luck old crimpolene mind, it’ll be fab I’m sure
Lol thank you! I’ve no idea what one of those minds is, but I’ll happily take it ??
It takes someone as old as me to know what crimpolene is. You might want a word with Geoff…
I’m guessing it’s an insult? ?
Crimpolene – a ghastly material that very old persons used to wear, once upon a nightmare. It was the cockroach of the material world; impossible to destroy and about as attractive to look at.
ha!! well Geoffle always was a delight!
I don’t think anyone else understands your mind so that’s all good then!!
HA! ??????
Sweet!
Hehe 🙂
I’ve subscribed to new blog via e-mail. I think that’s right? Hope so.
Thanks my lovely – really appreciate it. 😀 <3
my pleasure and a happy Yuletide to you and your family and a great new year. x
Haha… sounds like me! Basically already no time but still adding projects… lol!!! Congrats, Sacha! Looking forward to your new blog too ?
I know, I am mad to even consider it!! Thank you though 😀
I hear you… lol! But you are amazing and it will be great!
ah gosh, thank you <3
??
Congrats on the new site! Good luck with it all. : )
Thanks Rachel 🙂
go daughter go “little rocket woman”
So it’s a new world!
I hope that it’s not a new you ‘cos I love you just the way you are!
Sacha running TWO parallel worlds. You like taking on challenges, don’t you?
awww well ain’t you the loveliest. I know, can’t believe I’m even contemplating it, but there we are. I’ll still be me, just showing another side of me 😀
Followed the new one. Never realized this blog was mostly about non-fiction.
Ah, by that I meant, the content I put out is non-fiction. I always share the things I learn about the craft of writing. Where as on the new site I’ll write reviews of fiction books, maybe share my own fiction, and talk about things related to my genre rather than purely being about developing as an author. I guess it’s cause I need a platform for my fiction books and I’m not sure this blog is it. This blog is better suited to my non fiction books.
Hard to tell. I put everything on one blog to make sure I don’t get my wires crossed. Yet, I know quite a few authors who have multiple blogs to cover several areas. You do have a built-in audience that will go to the other one too. Looking forward to the new blog.
Hope so, but no guarantees really. I could be making a huge mistake trying to juggle two sites, I just figure the current one isn’t really relevant? I duno. Maybe I’ll change my mind and make the fiction one totally static.
No harm in trying. If things don’t work then you could merge the blogs. Plenty of paths to follow. ?
Signing up for some YA book goodness. 🙂
lol thank you kind lady ?
Congratulations. Welcome to the multi-blogger club. I have four, because I’m a genre-rabbit as a writer. I hop on historical fiction in one book, hop on memoir in another; then hop on a seduction murder mystery, and I’m becoming a serial jumper in my next five novels that are all in a hybrid genre: a shape shifting, historical fiction, science fiction, vampire, paranormal, fantasy, time travel, etc. all mixed into one series.
Sigh, I think it would have been much easier to just write in one genre but us writing addicts have to follow our muse, and my sexy muse humps all over the place.
Three of my blogs are specific to the books they support, and one is hopping all over the place, because I got tired of launching genre specific blogs.
I wanted to start a 5th blog about blogs and books but never found the time so I gave up that idea. The domain name for Blogs-and-Books or was it Books-and-Blogs is available again.
FOUR? :O wowza, I couldn’t handle four, at least not in my current alloted free time!
HAAAA your sexy muse humps all over the place! I know the feeling, I have 30 books on my list right now and they are only the ones in the same genre. It’s disgusting.
What are all your blogs? send me the links
As requested, links to my four websites/blogs

so ridiculously impressed – have followed a couple of them – the china one looks very very interesting. I have a deep-seated fascination with Asia, I hope we can go to Japan this year.
If you visit Japan, plan to pay a lot more for food.
HA! Good to know – I expect I will given I am a fussy veggie too – no doubt I will find it extra tough.
I haven’t been to Japan, but it is my experience that in Asia (mostly China), thanks to Buddhism’s influence, most if not all restaurants understand and do their best for vegans and veggies.
Best of luck with this new venture, my lovely! See you over there!
Thanks Ali <3 <3
?
I’m about to do the same. Not sure my blog style & kids books go hand in hand exactly, so I’ll be putting my naughty bits (if you’ll pardon the expression!) in a new place!
Ah really? ergh, I think I am going to end up killing myself having two!! but here goes nothing!
So no sleeping at all for you next year? You are an amazing Dynamo of a woman, Sacha!
I expect a grand total of 4.8 hours sleep for the entire year. ??
If you’re lucky ;-D
:p
Whoop whoop! All the best people have two blogs (it’s not as bad as it sounds!! Honest!) I’m looking forward to reading your new one and getting my YA crazy on x
Haha so I hear ???the only thing I’m dreading is distraction and less sleep ?
I can’t believe you got all that done so quickly! Looking forward to harassing you there too!
haha thanks kiddo <3
Good luck on the other one.
Thanks John 😀 😀
🙂
Congrats! You are so inspiring! I’m heading over 🙂
ahh thank you – it’s bare at the moment, but come January, it will go live 😀
so exciting! wishing you the best — & a happy new year 🙂
Thank you so much, I really appreciate the wishes 🙂
Because you don’t have enough to do? LOL Good luck matey! 🙂 xoxo
Oh god, I know. I must actually be mad, but I don’t know how else to manage it!
LOLLLLLLLL
OMG! You’re opening up another blog? When did a day go from 24 to 52 hours? Good luck and, of course, I’ll follow the new blog. How could I not?
I know, I know. I actually must be insane!
lol, you said it…?
Thanks my lovely 😀 😀 😀 😀 and thanks for stopping in to the new one 😀
All over this. We’re daylight and dark on genre but you’re energy and enthusiasm is a much needed kick in my pudgy butt. You’re info is treasure, too. Can’t wait, Sis.
Daylight and dark!! lol, I love that, well thank you for supporting me <3
