I’m Paula Hickey and I’m the girl behind this blog!
I’m married to the best man I know. His name is Rex, but I call him Cap because he’s my Captain America. I’m mom to a cute Chihuahua named Buffy, an adorable cat named, Smokey, and rowdy, German Shepherd mix, named Riker. And I have one pup who has crossed the Rainbow Bridge, our beloved Mac, who is in our hearts always.
I’m a book nerd and fantasy geek. Give me some Stephen King, Dean Koontz, JK Rowling, JRR Tolkien, Kate Morton or Neil Gaiman and I’m a happy girl. (I really tried to make that list shorter! 😅) I own my own online business as a web designer and tech specialist. This blog is my happy, creative space.
Penned by Paula is a lifestyle blog and resource for bloggers that encourages blogging for fun!
My goal is to help personal bloggers find the joy in blogging by following their own path to success. And success means something different for everyone. Not every blogger wants to turn their blog into a full-time business.
For some of us, blogging is a hobby or side-hustle, not our main job. It’s our way to be creative, and share that creativity with others.
And if that sounds like you, then you’ve come to the right place! Here you’ll find advice on how to make your blog the best it can be. You’ll never be told that you’re doing it wrong if you’re aren’t turning your blog into a business. Because here it’s all about Blogging for the Fun of it!

Paula has been helping me with my blog now for over a year. She is very knowledgeable and has good suggestions for things that I haven’t even thought of. She will always get right to work, and if that isn’t possible, she has always shared her availability with me, so that I am aware. I could not blog without her help and expertise!
Paula has an incredible range of technical, marketing, and people skills, and they are paired beautifully with consistency, reliability, and attention to detail. Nothing is too much trouble, and she always goes above and beyond. In my experience, it’s very difficult to find someone as reliable and lovely to work with as Paula is, and our business wouldn’t be the same without her.
Blogging is to writing what extreme sports are to athletics: more free-form, more accident-prone, less formal, more alive. It is, in many ways, writing out loud.
