Prologue:: Why Am I Doing This?

Why am I doing this? Why am I trying to enter this crazy world of lifestyle blogging? 

If you don't know me already, firstly, hello! I'm Holly from the book blog Lost in a Library, and this is my first step into lifestyle blogging.

I want to express myself - properly, and not just through the medium of books. Being a book blogger is restrictive, which is something I didn't learn quick enough. Turns out that one single post that is the slightest bit more personal can drive people away at rapid speed. I want to be able to talk about reality somewhere, and people to read what I write. Not just skimming over the words for the next book haul.

Books aren't my only passion - I love film, photography, and writing about what's going on in my life. Sometimes I reach a point where it feels like my entire life centres around books. I want more than that. This is that place away from the fictional escapades. 

This is a creative outlet - Being able to only talk about books on a book blog means that my creativity is limited. There is SO much more I want to share whether it be through just writing, or art, or film or poetry.  Let's call it "expanding my horizons".

I haven't a clue what I'm doing. I don't know how to attract the attention of readers, and I'm not entirely sure of what people want to read. But I hope that someone reads this blog and understands where I'm coming from in my thoughts. 

Welcome to The Highest Cloud
