MY READERS!
Yes, that means you, I see you, even if you never comment 🙂
Vikki at Scribblings of an Aspiring Author and Tara at Tara Tyler Talks are hosting this wonderful Blog Hop, that I just couldn’t resist 🙂
This has actually come at a really good time for me as this blog was created in November 2010, so it is kinda my Blogiversary this month, although, I didn’t start blogging daily until the end of December last year. So I feel a bit like the Queen, The View Outside has two birthdays!
Just for my own curiosity, I had a look back at those first few posts:
November 2010 3 posts
April 2011 1 post (very sad looking blog at this stage!)
November 2011 3 posts (still no comments and I’m not surprised!)
December 2011 10 posts and 3 commentors!!!!!
Ha ha ha….my poor little blog was much neglected in those days 😉
It’s also Insecure Writers Support Day (see the tab above) so I am thankful for that too 🙂 It’s been great being able to moan about my fears on one day every month and I am so grateful for all the IWSG Members who have taken the time to come give me a virtual hug 🙂
I’m doing ok this month, feeling a little bit out of my depth at Faber. My class mates work is sooooo much better than mine, truly…..I have a lot to learn. But I’m enjoying it, and it’s a challenge I’m definitely up for 🙂
Sooooo, as I can’t thank you all individually (and this includes IWSG Members who take the time to offer their support by visiting my blog on the first Wednesday of every month), I hope you’ll accept my thanks via this note…..
Hopefully, one day, I’ll meet up with some of you, at my book launch perhaps? *sniggers* 😉 But until then, you will remain, my wonderful blogging friends, who keep me going.

p.s if you are one of my readers who has never commented, please come and say hello, I won’t bite and I’d love to chat 🙂 I’m off now to offer support to my fellow Insecure Writers 🙂

PS – I bet they are not better writers than you! I’ve had weeks on my MA when I’ve felt like the class dunce, but then last night my tutor said I’d really nailed free indirect speech, and I felt like the class star. You’ll get your moment, Vikki 🙂 xxx

You have beautiful handwriting – sometimes I can’t understand my own handwriting because it’s SO messy.
Don’t worry about Faber – I’m sure you’re doing fine and everyone else is thinking *That Vikki is SO good, damn it!*
