Ok, maybe not me personally, but my blog and if that isn’t a good excuse for a cake I don’t know what is.
365 days ago I sat, with my finger hovering over the publish button, beads of sweat pooling on my brow. I wanted to try to write fiction but really, could I do it? Could I write? Would I ever feel creative enough, brave enough?
To date I have posted 67 flash fiction stories, numerous posts and have written an 80,000 word novel but I couldn’t have done it without the support of the wordpress community. I have learned so much, not only through the constructive feedback left on my posts which has helped my technique to improve week by week, but also by reading your blogs. I am inspired on a daily basis.
A big thank you to everyone who writes, reads, comments and sets up challenges. I look forward to the next year.

Go, Louise! Congratulations x
