My Very First Post

So on this rainy May bank holiday evening, having put it off for weeks, I've taken the plunge and registered Tipping the Scales, a title attributed to my hopeless indecisiveness; a frustrating Libran trait.

And believe me it's taken a while to get to this point. I've been AGONISING over setting up a blog for several reasons but mainly because I've been working in a fantastic digital PR team for over a year now and being able to name several of my colleagues, past and present, as some of the most prolific PR bloggers in the country, it was pretty daunting.

But in short, some of the things to achieve from this blog are:

1. Disciplining myself to write more frequently and develop my writing skills for the web in particular
2. To share and document learnings and experience of digital PR through the eyes of a relative newbie
3. To join the wider conversation, blogging about other things that interest me so that includes the media, current affairs, celebrities, London, music, film, literature, my family and friends and probably other things like holidays, festivals and other fun stuff I've spotted or heard about

LOL - so reading this intro post back, this all seems pretty unfocused. There is no concrete life plan for this blog, but I'm hoping the content will develop over time. As a wise blogger named Jason once said, over the coming weeks and months, I will find my flow (hopefully) :-)
