...or rather one year ago tomorrow, I started this blog.
It was actually my second attempt at blogging following a rather half-hearted effort during my OU A215 course, which ground to a halt when we hit a family crisis.
When I started I wasn't entirely sure what I wanted this blog to be. A record of my writing progress certainly, but also a place to talk about other things which catch my eye or affect my life, both good and bad. After all, there is more to a writer than just writing. It is not a showcase for my more polished writing, some of which can be found elsewhere, but a space for spontaneous communication.
I didn't know what to expect from the blog. At first I wondered if anyone would ever read it, but somehow I have found an audience. Along the way the way I have 'met' some lovely people and have had visits from readers all over the world. I'm loving it all, even if blogging is time-consuming and a major distraction from my novel writing!
I'm looking forward to the second year...
Three notable things:
1. The blog birthday tomorrow.
2. All the wonderful blogs I have discovered through having my own. Each and every one in my blogroll and listed at Novel Racers is well worth a visit!
3. After a lot of thought I would like to pass on the Rockin' Blogger award to Lane, Viki and Jen. It was so hard to choose because all the blogs I read deserve it...

Happy blogthday Cathy and thank you muchly for the award:-)
I've 'met' some lovely peeps in only a couple of months of blogging and that far outweighs the distraction from writing . In fact I think it feeds it:-)
ps If I married Vicki I'd be Lane Lane:-)
Many happy returns to your blog-day. It is far too addictive but great fun.

A very happy Blogday for tomorrow. I will bake a chocolate cake and eat it in your honour. Do you mine if it's a mix, though, as doing extra work at the moment?
Happy Birthday Cathy.
It seems most blogs last merely 3 months on average so I reckon we're all doing pretty well!
Cathy, Congrats on your year - very well done - and the award. I love the way blogs, whatever reason they start, develop into the personality of the writer.

Happy blogday Cathy. I am honoured to be on your blogroll.
Thank you muchly for the award - if only I could figure out how to get it onto my blog...
Sorry Jen, can't help. I only know how to do so on Blogger!
I like your 'notable' sections. love to write too. Blogging has only increased my writing. It is good practice, fun and seems like cheap therapy too.
