Inspiration is a funny thing. Ask someone inspired what inspiration is and they will be able to reel off all sorts of wonders. Ask someone with writers block, and they will probably stare at you like you have asked them to solve an insolvable riddle. Blind folded. With their hands tied behind their backs. Whilst being slapped in the face with a cold wet fish. I am sure you get the picture hehe!
Even the most talented bloggers have their off days, but have you noticed that they seem to be few and far between and usually we wouldn’t even know.
When I think of bloggers who inspire me, there are a handful of common traits that they all seem to have. I am sure that these things separate the super bloggers from the average ones (not that being an average blogger is anything to feel less proud of mind you).
Here are those traits that I mentioned:
Want to know more about them?
I am so excited to introduce a new guest series that I will be running over the coming weeks. It will be featuring some of my favourite bloggers. From the queen bee’s themselves, to the much newer bloggers on the scene. All have that elusive something that you can’t quite put your finger on that makes them stand out from the crowd, as well as being key inspirers.
To start things off, I have my blogging buddy Bridget from Bridie By The Sea as my very first guest. You may already know Bridget as co-host from the #DreamTeam linky.
Until then… here is something that never fails to put the inspiration back into my sails.
WILD is now out in Spanish!
WILD – Our debut children’s picture book
Dad blogger Ross Good from The Stented Papa is the official storyteller for WILD!
Happy book birthday WILD!
That’s the second time today that I’ve heard a quote from Oprah. She really is powerful. Love quotes and look forward to reading Bridie’s post. #blogcrush
