    What a treat. Glad you found me, and I’m guessing through Lisa’s blog? I’m digging your website. Love that the design isn’t too over-powering. Nicely done. Here’s to creating a community of BF’s (blogger friends) I’m looking forward to perusing your older posts and have subscribed for the new!

  22. Great blog! Are the Sunday songs random or are there any criteria for them? Every Friday, I post a Guilty Pleasure song. Past ones have included Kelly Clarkson and Pretty Reckless – two I see mentioned here. Come check it out! http://www.foodandwinehedonist.com

    Reply
    • Thank you! They are random – bascially the songs I’m listening to that week either new or old favourites. I love Kelly and TPR!

  25. Hello Vix, I found your blog while perusing the music section.

    I also have Sunday dedicated to sweet sound. You might like to have a look yourself.
    The link is http://thesleepymoose.wordpress.com/category/music/ .

    Isn’t it funny how a diary and a music collection are two of a person’s most valued and personal possessions; yet bloggers present them both, freely available, to the world.

    I just made that connection while writing that I look forward to listening to your music and reading your blog. lol

    Well I look forward to listening to your music and reading your blog! ;)

    namaste, Mús

  26. Hi! I found your blog through Tinkerbell’s site, and I really enjoy it so I subscribed! I’m still reading through many of your entries, but my question is: do you have any pieces of any of the books you’re trying to publish posted to your blog somewhere? I would love to read them…I am big into YA fiction, and I also would love to have my writing published one day, but I’ve never been brave enough to submit anything to a publisher. Can’t wait to read more from you!

    Reply
    • Hi, thanks for commenting and following!! I haven’t got any of my books up but I just posted a short story. Good luck with your writing, you should go for it!

  27. Hey Victoria,

    I know I don’t comment often enough, for you to know me by my name. But I love your blog and have listed it up for “The Liebster Blog award”!

    Congratulations!

    Keep penning.

  28. Congrats Lil Ms. Vix – its a looong way down until I can find the end of your ‘comment’ role. You have done well over the past year! I am a new blogger and pretend author trying to find whats hip in the world of blogging. And so here is where I landed!

    Good luck to you in your next year! If you have any advice check me out and post me some. I look forward to more of your musings…from across the pond in coastal South Carolina.

  34. I write my blog cause I like to write my diaries. It’s really help me to construct my writing ability. If you have free time, could you give me a comment on my blog. Cause I am an Indonesian who like to use English in my writing. Thank you in advance

  35. Hi Victoria,
    I have nominated you for the “one lovely blogger award” and the “candle lighter blog award.” For more information have a look at this http://glittertheair.wordpress.com/2012/01/26/one-lovely-blog-award-and-candle-lighter-award/

  36. Hello there. I feel a bit out of place here being a bloke-type-person. But I thought I should comment all the same, in keeping with correct netiquette based requirements. Part of my job is to go on wild blog hunts asking for guest posts, but I liked your page. I’m really into reading. I’m more into older fiction, though, so I can stroke my beard and feel all profound. Except I don’t have a beard. Dang. Oh well, tarra!

    Reply
    • Hi Alex, welcome! Thanks for stopping by. It’s okay, we won’t attack you for being a boy … however who says “tarra” still?! :)

  37. Hi Victoria:

    I just selected you as one of my 15 for the Versatile Blogger Award. Your posts truly inspire me. I am glad to become better acquainted with you.

  38. I still say “tarra” as an anachronistic gesture to… something. I hope you don’t mind me asking, but have you tried getting your short stories published at all? I wrote a book last year and have so far sent it to a grand total of ONE literary agent, who turned me down. I think I need to put a bit more effort in. Still, I know it will be like coming up against a stick wall. Really big sticks, too.

    Reply
    • :) I haven’t tried to publish any short stories but am currently submitting a book to agents. Congrats on writing a book but you need to send it out to a lot more than one agent!! Yep you’ll get a lot of rejections but it’s all about persistence. What type of book is it?

  39. Ah, love this blog! :) Thanks for coming over to Limebird and leading me back here again.

    Just seen you’re from Surrey, I’m from Middlesex. :) Woop!

    • Thanks B! And thanks for following as that helped me find you! My postal address is Middlesex too so we might be neighbours :)

      • Ohh really. I’m going to take a wild stab in the dark at… hmm.. Ashford? I can’t actually think of anywhere else! Haha.

        Well, I actually live in Hertfordshire now, but my parents are still in Middlesex, as are the majority of my friends! :)

      • Haha very close! Ah that’s cool, we should have a blogger meet up one day :)

  40. Aha, I’m psychic! Well, Ashford is only about ermm 15 minutes away from my parent’s house! :)

    Yes, that would be fun!

    PS – Yes, I would love to read your book, that would be awesome.

  41. Hi Victoria,

    I have been lurking *hangs head in shame* and this week I told myself that I must follow some blogs that I keep coming back to. So, ta-da, I’m following you!

    I also want to thank you, you recently commented on my rejection post over at LImebird Writers. {4amWriter is my alter-ego :) }I really appreciate your kind words and support and it is helpful to know another writer who is struggling with the query stage.

    Good luck with your writing endeavors and I look forward to reading more of your blog!

    Reply
    • Haha welcome Kate, thanks for de-lurking and following! Your post helped me know I’m not alone so thank you for that, we can do it! Good luck to you too, I’m hoping over to your blog now :)

  42. So, you have quite the stunning array of awards down the side of your page, but I think the one I have just nominated you for is a new one (I think) – the Sunshine Award! I nominated you for this because your blog posts always make me smile! :)

  46. You’re probably really tired of awards at this point ;-) , but I nominated you for The Lovely Blog Award! You can read about it here: http://lostonplanetchina.wordpress.com/2012/05/27/my-first-blog-award/ . If you don’t want to do all of the “write seven things about yourself” and “nominate 15 other bloggers” I totally understand. I just wanted to send some people your way! :-D

  50. Bonjour! I like the blog and hope the writing goes well! Why not try e-publishing on Amazon or somewhere? It’s cheap and a good place to get started. It’s also going to be the future, although I’ll miss the old paperbacks and will still horde them lovingly.

    If, per chance, you have the time you should endeavour to check out http://www.professionalmoron.com . This be my blog. Indeed. It’s quite quirky.

  51. Hey! I nominated you for a blogging award, I hope that’s ok. You only have to take part if you want too. :) You can find out more here: http://beckysblogs.wordpress.com/2012/09/04/i-found-a-daisy-in-my-mailbox/

  53. Hi Victoria… I found your blog when wordpress set it as a suggestion because we seem to follow similar sites. In looking around, I feel I will enjoy your words and music. I write for my own enjoyment only and started my blog January 2012. I don’t consider myself a poet or writer, just a lowly word bender. If you stop by, please leave a comment or suggestions as I try to use them to improve. Maybe some day I will be able to just write…..
