You’ve heard of writers block? Well, I have bloggers block. I’ve been blogging about all aspects of historical fiction for 8 years and this is the first time I’ve come up dry.
I’m working out the details for a new theme that I’m excited about, but I’m not ready to announce it yet.
So let’s just put this post down as the shortest ever on A Writer of History. See you soon!

This happens to us all – but my series of author interviews was a good ‘win-win’ and kept up my visitor numbers while I was busy writing 🙂
And who can blame you, pray tell, after delivering up a treasure trove of content? Perhaps scaling back on frequency is the key. I went from weekly to monthly with my own blog, allowing me more freedom to create.
Many thanks, Elinor. And you’re right about scaling back. I think once a week should be sufficient!! All best, Mary
I’ve been amazed at your blogging productivity–in fact, faster than I can keep up, so glad to have a brief breather. Looking forward to the new theme when it comes out.
Many thanks for the encouragement, Sandy. I just looked today and see that I’ve written over 900 posts in the past 8 years!
Take it one post at a time MK…it’s the only way to eat an elephant. Maybe take a month off and hide all the tech under lock and key if you have to. Please take care of yourself
Love the “eat an elephant” analogy. Thanks, Andrea.
I can’t wait to see what you come up with! I know it will be good.
So kind of you, Katherine!
It’s interesting you say that, Mary. This last week, I looked back at my blog in 2010-ish where I was a little bit more erudite and far more devoted to the art of writing hist.fict and hist.fantasy.
As my novels became more convoluted, requiring more research, I found the blog content began to change until it is now just a commentary on various aspects of the writer’s life, with pics, what her interests are and where she lives.
Strangely, the visitor numbers barely changed.
Good luck with the new broom. Have to say I have LOVED your blog through the years.
Good to hear from you, Mary! 🙂 Hope your new book is doing well!! >
