Hello, and a warm welcome to my blog.

My name is Hugh. I live in Swansea, South Wales, in the United Kingdom.

My blog covers a wide range of subjects, the most popular of which are my blogging tips posts. I’ve learned a lot about the world of blogging since I first came here in February 2014. All of the tips and advice I give are free.

I have always enjoyed writing. I suffer from a mild form of dyslexia, which has not stopped me from enjoying my writing passion.

Blogging has put me in touch with hundreds of other writers, many of whom have been supportive and helped me with my writing.

Here is a list of categories I write about on my blog. Click on a category to view all the blog posts under that category.

More about Hugh

I lead a happy life and always stay positive. I share my life with John, my civil partner, and our two Cardigan Welsh Corgis, Toby and Austin.

You will find some of my short stories and flash fiction on my blog, and I hope you enjoy reading them. Flash Fiction has become a big part of my writing, and I enjoy participating in various writing challenges.

I also participate in the Wordless Wednesday photography challenge every week. Click here for more details.

Blogging is a marathon, not a sprint!

As mentioned, I also write articles giving free blogging and social media tips. Click the ‘Blogging Tips’ button on the menu to access all my articles.

These articles have proved very popular. My free tips are a way of thanking everyone who supports my blog by visiting, reading and commenting on my posts.
