Yes, I've taken the plunge, and have started my own blog. I have been part of a group blog (New Kids on the Writer's Block) for a year or so, but have been feeling the need to spread my wings a bit, so here I am. I am a new writer with no published work to my credit, unless you count a few law-related articles (which I don't). Since I started writing seriously about two years ago, I have spent more time learning
about how to write than actually writing, but I figure everyone needs to
start somewhere.
I write historical romance set in Victorian England. My husband told me the other day that he thinks I like research more than writing. It is true I love exploring the little factoids that bring history to life, but I love the writing part too--it's just a lot harder.
This blog explores my writing journey, including those little historical detours that fascinate and distract me. Thanks for joining me for the ride.

Hi Marin,
ReplyDeleteEnjoyable post on Victorian 'reading material' especially that which women favored. We tend to forget that some of those works we consider classics now, i.e. Dickens (and even some in American) had their beginnings as serialized stories in newspapers or magazines.
Good luck with you new blog.
Thanks, Barbara!
