Back to the blog!!

I've been away from blogging for eighteen months and I'm so pleased to be back!

I stopped because I was working on a very big writing project that took up an enormous amount of time. I was also organising the first Shimmy in the City international bellydance festival with Khaled Mahmoud, as well as running Hipsinc, my bellydance school.

I knew something had to give! And the blog drew the short straw.

But now the writing project is finished and delivered. Shimmy in the City was a great success and the second one is comfortably underway. And I have a brilliant team around me at Hipsinc, including the very best PA I have ever employed in thirty years - Louise Sullivan, Wonderwoman!

But most of all I'm involved in such wonderful, exciting, remarkable things at the moment that I knew I just had to start writing again.

Right now I don't want to go into details about the biggest thing I'm involved in, because I'm in the middle of contract negotiations. But you can be sure that as soon as everything is signed and sealed and I've been given the go ahead, you'll hear about it here first! And believe me, this particular project will be the biggest and most exciting thing the bellydance world has ever seen, with the potential to bring bellydance international worldwide fame!

But for today, I'm really excited to be launching my new, personal website at charlottedesorgher.com! I've been working on it for what seems like forever, but it's finally all up and tested and checked and I think it's looking good!

The original Hipsinc website is, of course, here to stay! But I've been feeling for a time that I needed a personal website to highlight the things I'm doing and to give me some space for a bit more self-promotion!! A lot of the information on my  new site is also on the Hipsinc website, but there are lots of extra areas, such as an online store, videos, photographs and yes, this blog!

So, please do check out my new site at www.charlottedesorgher.com  and tell me what you think!! Is there anything else you would like to see on there? Any links not working or (shock horror!) any spelling errors?!!!

And what about this blog. Is there anything you would like me to write about? I love writing and I'll gladly cover anything that you are particularly interested in. Do leave me some feedback or comments - I'd love to hear from you!
