New posts on my blogs and searchable book reviews!
- Jun. 18th, 2013 at 4:48 PM
I'm afraid I've been terribly unfaithful to LJ. See, I went to search for a book review on here. I knew I'd reviewed it, but I couldn't find my review. In a haze of disloyalty, I imported all of my book reviews from here into my Wordpress blog - it's got a category BR in the right hand column where you can find all my old book reviews in order, and you can use the search box in the right hand column to search for any book title or author and actually find them. The archive goes back to 2005!
I didn't delete them from here, but it just seemed like the right thing to do.
In other news, I've recently posted ...
Be careful! Decimated (there are a fair few comments on here!)
Marinade or marinate? (surprised me!)
Small business chat with Pat who makes gifts
Small business chat update with Tammy the editor
Ten Lessons I Learned When Writing my Book - what happened when I switched to the writer side from the editor side?
Book reviews:
Wessex Tales and Hands Up
Frances Partridge and Three Letters from the Andes
Two by Barbara Pym
And I've updated my index of small business interviews to celebrate doing my SEVENTY-FIFTH interview and to make it simpler to navigate.
Phew!

Update on the blogs etc.
- Jun. 7th, 2013 at 11:01 AM
So, I have been updating word, business and small business posts on here: www.libroediting.com/blog/ and there are lots of new book reviews and book confessions here: www.librofulltime.wordpress.com including a page with info and all the worldwide Amazon links for my new book about being self-employed.
Off to try to just pick one category to import now ...
Wish me luck!
More blog posts (lots of reading!)

Blog posts: conference, cake and book reviews!
- Sep. 23rd, 2012 at 10:26 AM
Another round-up of my busy blogs this week ...
On the Libro blog, Top Ten Tips for Freelancers https://libroediting.com/2012/09/19/top-ten-tips-for-working-with-clients/ - a companion piece to last week's on working with freelancers
Small business update with Andrew Donnelly, who does clever things with Apps, but is doing WELL, which is the point https://libroediting.com/2012/09/22/update-andrew-donnelley/
Over on the Libro Full Time blog, I've beefed up my "About" page, which now hopefully explains how this blog works a bit better: I want to get across the idea that it's my personal blog, which started off being about going full time but, thanks to going full time, has blossomed into book reviews and posts about the e-book I've written on lowering your cholesterol. I have also migrated my Iris Murdoch project posts over here, as they seem to fit better with the stuff I do in my spare time rather than the business / small business / language fodder of the main Libro blog.
So here's the About page https://librofulltime.wordpress.com/about/
and you will also see that I've added a page about the IM project and one about my e-book, as well as categories for both.
And then a few updates:
My experience of the Iris Murdoch Conference: https://librofulltime.wordpress.com/2012/09/20/iris-murdoch-society-conference/
A new range of low-fat cakes developed just for me (but on general sale soon!) https://librofulltime.wordpress.com/2012/09/21/let-her-eat-cake/
Book reviews! https://librofulltime.wordpress.com/2012/09/23/book-reviews-25/
