A
year ago this week, I found myself sitting in this very same chair, thinking
exactly the same thought as I have for, oh, about a year. What in hell am I
going to write for this blog? It is a question that has plagued me since the
off- right from that very first post when I confidently predicted to “have no
idea what you can expect to read on these pages” and one that still itches away
beneath my skin now. Yet weekly, I put both you guys and myself through it.
There have been some funny old posts, some downright ridiculous and some we can
all look back on with pride.
In
that first post I promised we would have some punchy wordsmiths. Well, aside
from our own blogging just have a look through some of the guest bloggers we’ve
had this year. I said there would be group news on here and we have aimed to
inform you of the events, to report back and at the same time, keep poetry and
Blackpool current. I feel, as a site
still cutting its milk teeth in the scheme of things, we have done a pretty
good job. I know of very few sites trying to approach poetry blogging like we
do, so to all the other bloggers, thanks for making me feel such a pressure to
write every week- you guys set the standard so high!
Finally,
I’ll just say how proud I am to have been a dead good blogger this year. Long
may we continue and, short of doing a birthday speech, I’ll leave it at that.
Thanks for your continued support and a very happy birthday to us!
