So it's 19.48 Saturday night and I am sat on a
train pulling out of Euston station having just been to Blogfest. It was a
truly wonderful day, the highlight being meeting my amazing blogging friends
who I chat on line to daily yet have never met. They are all a lovely as I hoped
they would be, so kind, caring and supportive. Yet I come away feeling
slightly overwhelmed.
I take you back to June 2014 when I attended my
first ever conference Brit Mums Live. Wow I was totally courted and wooed by
the blogging world such a glitzy affair. I learnt so much and met so
many wonderful people. I came away buzzing high from the blog bubble, but
looking back totally naive.
I had no idea about stats; no follow links,
publishing laws. It was all like a lovely wonderful fairytale. Don't get
me wrong blogging is still my fairytale every time I press publish I get that
excited shiver down my spine, I look upon my blog like another child that needs
nurturing and attention, have grown to love it, but it has been a learning curve.
My next event was Tots100 Blog Camp. So totally
different to my Brit Mums experience but again I met so many generous, caring
people and learnt loads. But, and its is a biggish but; I was overwhelmed at
the concept of pitching to editors, advertising and working with brands.
