Once upon a time in a small town just outside Lancaster lived a little blogger. She lived there with her partner and her little son Robot. Everything was going okay until one day she found her self a little lost. Her partner was away and her Robot was the only company she had.
The trouble with the Blogger and Robot was that they both had really snotty colds and both felt tired and awful. This meant that all the fun things that they wanted to do just didn’t seem to be achievable. An ever mounting list of things to get done stacked up all around them making things seem even further out of reach.
The hardest part for the Blogger was the never ending list of Blogging jobs to do. They really weren’t a chore but things she wanted to do but just felt too poorly to accomplish. All the ideas swimming about, written down, new things coming in at the speed of light, all making the Blogger panic that she’ll never be able to cope, catch up, the snot boggles taking over.
This is where we come into the story now, the Robot soundly asleep on the sofa next to the Blogger, she took to writing, writing a story, this story! She looked back in time to the reason she wanted to be a Blogger. She remembered that she wanted to write, for fun, write to get better at writing. She remembered that she had the Robot, and he was the reason she blogged. Lastly while the Robot sleeps peacefully, she has time. All of these things have helped set her mind at peace pick up the laptop and just write.
It may not win any booker prizes and a word count of just about 300 means it’s no novel but this little story has helped. It’s helped collect her thoughts, inspired her to organise her jobs list. For now though she must rest her snotty head and live happily ever after!
Ahh hope you feel better soon!

Thanks! But clearly it’s not me but a little blogger! Less snuffles today but I’m wading through x
Aww lovely wee post – made me smile (although not the illness bit obvs). I feel the same about not really being able to give blogging much attention during the half term holidays, but then I remind myself that it’s only a blog, there are more important things to be getting on with, like enjoying the time with these little people bumbling around the house driving me bonkers. Hope the sniffles clear up soon! #BloggerClubUK

Thanks! Having fun with the kids is great too!
Lovely post that hits the nail on the head when we sometimes (frustratingly) can’t get on with ‘blogmin’ but then take stock as to why we’re blogging in the first. Cute robot too! #pocolo

Thanks it was nice just to chuck something together which sorts my head out!
Like this – it’s clever. And hope the sniffles have all gone now! #PoCoLo
Almost! Sore throat set in now
Sometimes writing it down is exactly what you need! If I get to where I miss a day or two and feel overwhelmed, I have stopped stressing and just draw a line under it and move on! #effitfriday

So cute! I love this, and as a blogger, this is how I feel some days, too. Oh, like now. I hear a little one fussing and needing my attention… Thanks for the (dare I say, inspiring) story!

I’m glad its inspired! I was hoping for a kick start!
We had this few weeks before. Me and my son just both got sick. Its so hard to take care of a sick boy when the Mom cant even stand up!
And yes there are still ideas in your head that you dont want to lose but theres just so many things to do that you lose them anyways.
Get well soon!

Aww lovely story! Glad it helped with the blogging & hope you/the Little Lost Blogger get better soon! #PoCoLo
Thank you! Almost better
I love this! Writing can be so cathartic. Hope you feel better though. Also- as an aside- I went to uni in Lancaster! Ellen x
Oh cool, so you know my territory! Lol!
Hope you feel better by now. I can totally relate to the hundred and one things going around in your head and the list of blogging jobs – mine seems never ending so much so that I have stopped writing a list. Although I do intend to start one again soon – get over whelmed, ignore it, and then decide to write another… lol. Love the little robot drawing, thank you for joining us at #BloggerClubUK hope to see you again this week x
