Women Who Blog (DollyMix Interview)

As a matter of fact, I’m not in London any longer, I’m back to my rainy Manchester, travelling to Warrington each day for work. There will be a few more chapters in ‘Visiting London’ series, but I wanted to mention that just as I returned from London last week, Linda Jones was in touch asking if I was available for an interview by email for a feature Women Who Blog. I must admit, as I am still new to blogging, such requests continue to take me by surprise, but these surprises are rather pleasant ones. So, I had my first email interview, which is now published at DollyMix.tv.

As I was wondering what questions Linda would send to me, I also pondered on how I feel being interviewed. I suppose doing an email interview is different from going on air. Linda won’t let me lie on this, my responses to her questions amounted to 4 pages. I cannot thank her enough for editing it down, which probably wasn’t the easiest thing to do, after all. But I think it would be even less easy, had we been talking live. It is a reversal of roles for me because it has always been me who was doing the interview until November last year when Richard Fair invited me on his Blogspot feature. So far it has always been a lovely and comfortable experience.

Linda Jones, a journalist who I know through her blogs and the comments we exchanged, is regularly writing for Freelancewritingtips.com, is the news editor for Passionate Media. And she has got a wonderful blog, You’ve Got Your Hands Full. The blog has started, in her own words, “as a resource all about twins, triplets and more.” Now Linda is also adding “more general posts – relating to the experience of parents no matter how many children they have!” However, Linda’s blog is not just about parenting or children. There are absolutely wonderful posts about a woman’s life in general, and what I especially appreciate is Linda’s great sense of humour.

Many thanks to Linda and to DollyMix!
