Oi! You! Stop nicking my blog posts

There's a person online who is making me peeved. It's been going on for months and when it started, I blogged about it in a poem right here.

It's no longer flattering and if it doesn't stop soon I will publicly embarass the blogger online because blogging another person's ideas - especially when they're getting paid for their blog posts - just isn't fair.

I rather hoped this person would have had more intelligence and creativity not to nick my ideas.

I know, it's an odd one Annie. There is a blogger out there who seems intent on checking one of my two blogs, seeing what's on there and then taking that idea and running with it elsewhere, for payment. It's hardly creative on their part and shows how untalented they are but it makes me peeved. Oh yes, peeved.

The novel is finished but at a standstill. I might go back to it in the future, we'll see...

I think you're being much too diplomatic, Nora. Go on... let's have a good old name-and-shame!

I agree with Sky. Stick em in the stocks so we can all throw rotten veg at them. "Plagiarist" is just a nice polite term for thieving scum. And I'm being charitable.

The thing is, I like this person. I just hope she's reading this - as I know she reads the blog - and takes note. If not, as emails to the blogging company are going ignored, then I'll go public everywhere I can. 'Snot fair.

Has the thief taken the hint yet, or is it still going on?

She's lucky you don't go directly to the people who pay her (for your work) and have her done for plagiarism. It's more than not fair. It's a legal matter if she's getting paid for it and passing her ideas off as her own. This is outrageous!
If you don't want to dob her, please let me do it - is wrong wrong wrong of her. No two ways about it.

hi Emma, the thing is, it's not plagairism. She sees my blog (and it's not this one, it's my Coronation Street one) and she must think "ooh, that's a good idea" and then puts it in her own words on another blog that ryhmes with Coppieblog.

Clippy Mat Making at Beamish

Image
Researching for my novel Pearl of Pit Lane I spent the day at Beamish Museum on a clippy mat workshop. And if you're wondering what a clippy mat is, it's also known as a proggy mat or a rag rug. The BBC puts it like this: Proggy mats were a common sight in working-class homes in the North East of England until the mid-20th Century. Made from old sacks and recycled fabric they were an economical option to keep feet warm and toasty in an era before fitted carpets were the norm. I remember my grandma had proggy mats in her house and I also remember her making them, but I was never interested back then in learning how to make my own. As Ione of my characters in my novel makes proggy mats, I could have read about how to make them or even watched on YouTube, I wanted to discover for myself what the process felt like, smelt like, sounded like. And so I booked myself on to a workshop at Beamish Museum, a place I love to visit. There were six of us on the proggy mat workshop...
