There was a wee flurry of excitement here last week when I had a guest blog published on the Reading Museum's website. It's not the most astounding achievement, I know, but it's a first for me and I have to admit to being a bit chuffed.
I was asked if I would like to write the blog after a discovery I made connected to some research I was doing last year into Queen Mary's Dolls' House replica miniatures.
The biggest challenge was keeping the blog under the required eight-hundred-word limit - I hadn't realised just how verbose I am! Nor how short eight hundred words actually is—I've written 125 so far in this post!
What I found was that I could either make it very long — providing a bit of background about each aspect — or very short — keeping it pretty much to the bare facts. Anything in between was impossible! So it was certainly a useful lesson in being concise...
It ended up at ...476 words, in case you're wondering!
