Ex fashion photographer turned farmer.
Thats seems like quite the change in occupations
Yes, but no as well. I am from farming stock so it was more of a surprise when I went into the world of fashion. I did it for a good few years, got to the top of my tree (have photographed a lot of very famous people and still count several as friends), saw a lot of the world and generally had a pretty good time while making a bit of money.
Then I spent it all on a farm to settle down on.
It’s the Way it always works in the farm. I to farm, and know exactly what you’re talking about haha
I wish the family farm had remained in the family, sadly father sold it in the 80’s.
Still I bought a much nicer, bigger one in the next county so I am happy.

My passion is blogging and vlogging which I’m just starting, I’m yet to set up my blog, however I’ve drafted many articles where several of them are needing to be tweaked slightly before becoming ready to post (Any tips welcome)
I had a sex blog for a good few years (until the platform died), and I’m working towards getting some new hosting. So my tips are this:
-
Choose your hosting carefully. Make sure wherever it is hosted will let you say what you want to say. (Really important if you are going to sex blog. Much easier if you are doing a gaming blog for example).
-
Make sure you keep backups of your blog, and separate copies of the text in easy to access formats, in case it all goes wrong. My blog disappeared without warning, but I have all the posts and all the comments, so I can reinstate them elsewhere.
-
Set yourself a word target for blog posts. Mine was 1200-1300 words per post. I was told by a successful blogger that was a good number - big enough you can have long form posts, but short enough to be readable. The side effect of this was that it made me be much less verbose and produce tighter posts (and they were all the better for the removal of waffle). Sometimes I had “Part One” and “Part Two” posts, released on different days, which had the effect of being a tease/cliffhanger and got people coming back.
-
Write you posts well in advance, and keep a stash for regular release, rather than just posting them when you have finished them (unless they are time critical of course). Helps you to even out the flow if you dry up.
-
The editing is very important. Firstly, just write it freehand. See how long it is, and decide if it will be 1 or 2 (or 3 etc) posts. Then read and reread it. Make sure it is clear and unambiguous. Make sure you cut out waffle. Make sure it is interesting. I usually find about 6 edits (on different days) is enough to make a good quality post. Some posts I’ve struggled with have as many as 20 (and sometimes include a change of direction, or a widening or narrowing of scope to make them better). When you think it is done, leave it until you need a post, then give it a quick scan and post.
Good luck with your blogging!
@KinkyMira thank you kindly for the good luck message and good pointers, they’ll definitely come in handy to me I failed to realise that 1200 - 1300 words is a good figure so will have to edit my posts thus far.
I’m incredibly excited to start the adventure as I feel experienced in review writing, as I review for many companies, which will help me immensely in my humble opinion that is
@Alyssa646 Obviously it is entirely up to you, but I’ve found that the editing process really tightens things up, especially having to lose a decent number of words. It feels much more brisk, pacey, focussed and much more pleasant to read. Pick your own number, but the number I mentioned was suggested to me and I feel it is about right. Others may have other views of course
