My daughter came to me and told me she has had enough of blogging. After writing for over 18 months – sometimes twice a day she has run out of steam and doesn’t want to do it anymore, she just can’t be bothered.. I was getting her to blog because

1. She is a writer and its a good way to be out there and get known/build a following

2. I don’t want her waiting tables in uni and her blog can provide her with an income if she starts now

But never one to push my agenda I decided to leave her free to choose. I told her 12 months from now when she is in university and looks back on this day she will probably wonder how things might have been. Hindsight is a wonderful thing. I also let her know that since hitting 18 in September she is now free to sign up for sites where she can advertise and make money with her blog.

She went away – and 2 hours later came back and told me she has added 30 new blog posts!
