Yes, I am still writing Jilla

Dear Followers

Sorry, I have been quite a slack blogger lately. I'd rather not think how long ago I updated the story.

Yes I am still writing Jilla, and still love creative writing.

So what have I been posting?

You probably remember my 1st blog-annervasary on the 6th of May. The whole month (and more) ended up being dedicated to special posts, and a giveaway.

Here is a list of posts since the last edition of the story...




So, what next?

I am planning on posting more of my story, especially since I left you with a sad chapter (If you can't remember the last update of the story, read it HERE). That is not the ending of Jilla's story, only the beginning of a new chapter of her life.

I also have plans on movie reviews, an award and lots more ideas.

Sorry for the wait, and there is more posts to come.

1st Blog Anniversary!

  • Dear Followers

    I am happy to pronounce that my blog Jilla, has been officially running for one year.

    Jilla has moved past foalhood, and is now a beautiful yearling. We have read her trials and happy memories from Schleich farm and the tragedy that changed her life forever. I hope you have enjoyed the journey I have taken you on in the life of Jilla this past year. I hope you look forward, as much as I do, to what her future holds.

    As for me, I have learnt a lot from blogging. I have truly loved the experience, and I am very grateful for all the love and support I've received from my followers. Thank you so much. I am now up to thirty followers, a number I wouldn't have imagined getting to after only a year of blogging.
