This was my first post on this blog a year ago.

Around this time last year, I was in the process of letting go of the shackles of being a school-teacher, and leaving the profession in order to spend more time with my family, dog, and myself, and in order to write.

The first couple of months that I began this blog (June and July) were not great blogging months, and neither was August, but come September, and I began blogging more and more. Around January, I resolved to have at least 365 posts to average out over my first year of blogging on StrangeLander2015 (aka magicsurrealist2013.me). This meant I needed to write more than a couple of blog posts every day, which I began doing from March 2016 onwards.

I’ve made a total of 384 posts during these past twelve months. Now, I can heave a sigh of relief, and blog in a less frenetic fashion – or not!  Hah!  This blogging thing can be a serious addiction.  Actually, for me, it’s a sense of urgency.  I haven’t put my work out in the world since I was a teenager, even though I’ve written forever.  Next, I’ll aim to publish my work in a non-digital format.

Thank you to all those who have been my readers and commentators, and those who’ve followed, and been supportive.

Thank you, @WordPress!
