Happy 2011!
I started this blog in 2010 as a creative outlet for art, poems, and developing my novel, and it’s been a strong first year with your support.
What are your highlights of 2010? Here are just a few of mine:
- Living in badass California with my husband where we started Geocaching, hiking, and traveled to cool new places like San Francisco
- Braving desert, heavy rain, and creepy rednecks by driving across the country alone with my two cats to relocate in Virginia
- Writing Smoke Sick Music and starting my sci-fi/horror novel Infectnation
Let’s learn from the adversities and bring forward the warm memories of 2010, and make 2011 an even better year of our lives!
The stats helper monkeys at WordPress.com mulled over how this blog did in 2010, and here’s a high level summary of its overall blog health:
