To blog or not to blog?

I’ve been mulling it over for a while and I feel it’s time to bite the bullet and start the blog that I have been threatening to begin for months (maybe even years!).

I live and breathe communications. Whether it’s catching up with my mum on the phone, advising clients on integrated comms strategies or keeping in touch with my mates on social media sites - I am constantly communicating with someone in some shape or form. So why does it feel so alien sitting here writing this? I write for a living you see – from features on BREEAM excellent-rated buildings, newsletters on what’s hot and what’s not in the fashion world this season, to pieces on the benefits of organic milk. Yet, there is something quite unnerving about sitting down in front of my laptop sharing my thoughts in cyberspace.

I’ll keep this short and hopefully find something other than myself to write about next time (we PRs do love to talk about ourselves – if you are a PR reading this I know you are smiling because you know it’s true even if you don’t admit it!).

I am sensing that there will be something quite cathartic about pressing the ‘publish post’ button shortly.

Take care out there!
