Just typed in Most popular Blogs, and this was top of the list! Go figure! Well done, anyway. So sex and cooking. What else do I need to know?

popular blogs - please share and advise
I have been off my feet for a while. Struggled into work like the matyr I am (!) but at nights have limped into bed and this weekend a full on flu bug hit me like a ton of bricks. So that's enough of my ailments, but I have to confess I have done no writing or marketting for the last 2 weeks and that is not the way to get myself published!! (you don't say!!)
I was feeling a bit pleased with myself, in my innocence, to have ammassed nearly a thousand "hits" on my blog (is that even the right word? Yikes, I need to get with the programme a bit more - showing my age up here aren't I!). Then, as I lay in bed watching about the 1000th tv programme last week, I saw a documentary about a woman who had started a sex blog, writing about her, lets call them 'adventurous' exploits, and was getting 100.000 hits a month. Oh dear. I mean, good for her and everything, and I am not about to start emulating her style or content, but it did leave me feeling a bit ingsignificant. So it has got me thinking - what actually makes a good blog? In light of the success of 50 Shades of Gray and similar popular fiction, is graphic content one of the biggest keys to success?
I won't be changing Sadie - my writing is rather the antithesis to the legacy of what is obviously seen as exciting graphic sexual literature. But I obviously need to up my game and so some research is needed. I am who I am and I write how I write - I wish I had my son's humour and ability to tell jokes, or my other son's totally laid back nature (or my daughter's beuatiful face and tiny figure, but let's not go any further down that road.....!). What is the key, apart from graphic content, to picking up 100,000 blog views (is THAT the right term?) a month?
Meanwhile, 1 more day in bed should see me back on my feet, then back to writing. OO - I did write BED! Will that get them all rushing to my page.....???

The next Twilight
Wouldn't it be great if we could all write works that went on to be as successful as Twilight and Harry Potter? Ah but to dream......This week I have had a heavy cold that has meant I have limped through the working week but just come home and lay on the sofa, rather feebly, and have hardly written at all. I haven't been to the gym for 2 weeks, and that is not like me at all!!
Thankfully I am starting to feel much better, and at least my cold is out of the way before the festive season (my glass forever half full!) and so back into a routine tomorrow all being well. Now I have to add the Christmas shopping to my to do list, but I have to admit that this counts as retail therapy and is a much welcomed task. Meadowhall beckons!
And if any film producers are reading (I am nothing if not optimistic!) my Sadie trilogy would make a brilliant film or three, so feel free to call! :D
