Questions I Don't Like Answering Part II

It's almost a brand new month (we're probably escalating for Christmas) and Mark Meier has rashly allowed me to play with his blog yet again (I now realise he hasn't learnt).

Most writers will tell you there are questions they don’t like having to answer: often they are the ones we get asked the most. I'm writing an occasional series of lighthearted blog posts looking at some of my “oh no, not again!” questions and exploring why I, personally, don’t enjoy having to respond to them.

This month sees the second question in the series: “Why Do You Write?” You can read my response to this thorny writerly issue here

Giftmas 2018

This December J.S. will once again be participating in the Giftmas Advent Blog tour to benefit the Edmonton Food Bank (that's Edmonton Canada, if you're reading this in the UK).

Each day there will be a brand new story from one of the participating writers, starting with S.G.Wong on 1st December. A list of those participating is given below. J.S.'s Christmas story will go live here and on her Goodreads Blog on 7th December.

Autumn Songs

This week has seen an unprecedented amount of blogging activity.

Today, Ali Jones is kindly sharing J.S's words and photos on her blog, Green Fire Poetry. In particular, J.S. muses on the poem, Song For Autumn by Mary Oliver and on her own approach to seasonal writing.

You can see and read the results here.

To see more of J.S.'s photos go to her photography blog Random Acts of Would-be Photography.

Why I Do Like Blogging

For people who don't like blogging, this is a recycled blog post about J.S.'s conversion to writing blog posts. It is brought to you by Mark Meier and The Author Hub at Meier Writers and with thanks to Vagabondage Press for initial publication. Click here to read the post
