Obviously, I haven't been blogging long. So, my blog entry about blogging will have to be about my first steps.
Serendipity. One Saturday a few weeks ago I was at a party talking to my friend R about blogs. Neil Gaiman's blog in particular, and I said how I'd like to have a blog, but I didn't think I was interesting enough and no-one would read it.
For the next few days I thought "yet, I'd really like a blog, it's be so much fun. I want to blog!"
Then Morgue sent a group email about what he's up to and at the bottom he put "Read this blog" with a link to chinashop.
I read a lot of chinashop and then I went to look at the other stonesoup blogs and I liked them too.
Then I saw the bit saying "want a stonesoup blog?" and I freaked out and went and did something else.
That little invite haunted me for a day and a night and then I finally got up the courage to ask Iona and Lo! She said yes!
So here I am. I have already got more visitors than I had expected, and that makes me all warm and happy. I'm still not sure how interesting I'm being, but people do comment, so that's a good sign.
I'll put up some more poetry, since that went down well, and I'll continue to put up pictures, because I'm photo-obsessive. I've hit a wall around number 60 of my 100 things, but I'm still thinking, I haven't given up. (I know there's more things to me than 60!)
Thanks for reading! Come back tomorrow, I promise to keep trying as hard as I can to be interesting.
