Dear readers,
A little change of tune for today's post. A survey... for you! I would really love to get more of a feel for who is visiting One April Morning and what kind of things you like so I can make some decisions as to where to go from here, whether I should make any changes, etc.
As much as I love blogging, I'm not so good at doing blogger-y stuff like marketing and networking and SEO. I just like to write about things I am thinking or feeling and put it out into the world without much fanfare. I don't want to become one of those people who retweet their own compliments (however lovely they are), or flood feeds with self-promotion. But I'd really like to get to know you all better, and maybe be inspired by some ideas and feedback you may have for me, and I thought that perhaps a survey wouldn't be too much of an imposition. I quite like filling out surveys, myself. So if you are willing, please read on!
It would be fab if you could copy and paste the following and email it to me at laura.valerie89@gmail.com. If you'd rather be anonymous you can post it in the comments. (Although I think there may be a word limit so you may have to choose just a few questions to answer or break it into parts, I'm sorry!) Answer as many or as few questions as you would like, and the answers can be very short or extremely long (or somewhere in between). Thank you so much! UPDATE: I have also created a short (10 question) version that you can complete anonymously online. Just click here. Thank you! (And thank you to Harriet for the suggestion.)

I think the beauty of this blog is that you do just write what you're thinking and feeling...I don't want to ruin it! I love your blog just the way it is...
It's very soft and gentle and doesn't wallop me with 'agendas' which is why it's on my favourites...
Just saying:-)

Hi Louisa :)
Don't worry I won't be changing much at all, just honing in on what is working I think. Most responses have been much like yours which is very heartening!
Thanks so much for reading, and your kind words.

Just emailed you my response! I love your blog as it is. As I wrote to you, it's like a little quiet corner where I can come and sit and just think.
