Today, I say goodbye to blogging. We’ve had a good run, but it’s time for me to draw a line under this here chapter.

In short, I spent over a year shopping my proposal around to mainstream publishers, only to be turned down by them all mainly due to me not having a zillion social media followers. While I understand from the publishers’ perspective, they need...

I’d love to, but I never really felt I had one in me, so I blogged (and blogged and blogged).
