Celebrating my first year of full-time blogging

By Jen Bishop •

This week marks a year since I was made redundant from my magazine job and decided to give blogging a go as a job. I’ll be honest with you; I wasn’t confident it would work out and be sustainable long-term but I knew I had to give it a go. It was a now or never moment. All the usual clichés, like at least I could say I tried, even if it didn’t work out. I think having a wedding to pay for (which was on Saturday and was the best day of my life so far WITHOUT A DOUBT) spurred me on, as did my usual steely determination and my supportive fiance (now husband), friends and family. It has been hard work but boy, has it been enjoyable and a brilliant, challenging, rewarding learning curve. Today I am so proud of how well Interiors Addict is doing as a one-year-old business and I want to thank you all, genuinely, from the bottom of my heart, for reading it, because without you I’d be nowhere!

Here’s to many more years of full-time blogging!

    Wow has it already been a year? I still remember when you announced last year that you were quiting your day job and going full time with AA. Congrats Jen and on the marriage too. You’ll have to post some wedding photos, I’m sure it was beautiful.

    It only feels like a moment ago you were discussing the possibility of going full time, on the balcony of your fabulous apartment. So proud of you and your achievements! A week of celebrations!
