A quick guide to my other persona

Last week I revealed the secret that, as well as being the writer of this blog, I’m also known as Haron of “The Spanking Writers” blog. Although I know that lots of people read both blogs, I realise that some of you may have thought, “Adele is also who? Haron? Who’s that?”

So I thought that, as well as adding “my other blogs” links to the sidebar, I’d give you a short guide to my other persona.

1. The main place to find me is “The Spanking Writers” – a (mostly) words-only, daily blog I write with Mr Haze (who is also known as Abel). It’s been online since early 2006, so there’s lots to sink your teeth in, if you haven’t read it before.

2. My other blogging home is “The Punishment Book”, a blog by nine women writing on different aspects of domestic discipline relationships. I haven’t posted there in a while, mainly because domestic discipline hasn’t been a huge part of my life for the last year or so. But I did get punished just this week, so there’s a post coming up some time in the future.

3. As well as these two journal-type blogs, I’ve also spent 3 years as one of the writers on the “Lowewood Academy” blog: a collaborative saga based in a fictional school, with a spanking story posted pretty much every day for the 3 years of its existence. (My characters were Sylvie Barnable, Ned Corwin and Violet Kynaston.)

I’ve also written a load of spanking stories, which are archived all over the Net, but I shan’t link to all of them, because some time this year we’re launching the Spanking Writers website with all the stories assembled neatly in one place.

So there you are: if for some reason there aren’t enough updates here on “Spanking Model Speaks”, there are other places where you can find me.

P.S. I’ll be away for the next 10 days, hanging out with my mum. There’ll be blog entries coming up in my absense, but I may not get a chance to moderate comments. Have patience, munchkins.

I have a secret

And you can find out all about it by listening to Episode 2 of SpankingCast: “Interview with Adele Haze”.

Two-week hiatus

Munchkins, I’m going offline for two weeks to take care of the practical consequences of my father’s passing.

I won’t have Internet access while I’m gone, so new comments won’t be approved, and I won’t be able to respond to anything you say.

I’ll see you in March!

It’s Love Our Lurkers Day

There is a day on the spanking blogging calendar that makes it easier for you, the readers, to press that “reply” button and say – well, anything at all, which you might have been too shy to say before.

It’s today – the international delurk day across the blogosphere, coordinated by Bonnie at My Bottom Smarts. (You can see a list of participating blogs over at hers, and discover some new reading material for when you should be working.)

I’m a prodigious lurker myself, and know how hard it can be to step forward for the first time, even with a simple hello. Well, today it’s easy. Everybody is doing it. You know how if everybody jumps off the bridge, you’re supposed to do it too? Er, never mind, maybe I’ve got things mixed up. Anyway, delurking is easy – come forward and say hello!

P.S. I’m trying to spend very little time online this month, but I’ll make a point to come and rescue new commenters out of the moderation queue.

An Internet fast

Munchkins, I need to take it easy for a few weeks. Spending 18 hours a day online isn’t good for anyone, so I’m going to cut down for a while, and see what one of those “real lives” is, that people talk about.

Don’t worry: there’ll be three posts a week coming up on the blog throughout my fast, and there’ll be a fresh picture of the day, each day. But I won’t be hanging around to approve comments, and you probably won’t raise me on email or Twitter.

Let’s see how long I last…
