I acknowledge myself today and say well done girl for keeping up this blog. Well, I know that doesn't sound like much but at the beginning of the year I set myself a resolution to write something (nearly) every day for how else was I ever to begin to become the kind of writer I know I want to be? For after all, practice makes perfect and points make prizes dear girl.
So, I stand before you today in my best dress and give a twirl to acknowledge not just my 129 posts (two today!!) but, most importantly, all the fun I've had and that wonderful little rush when the words just seem to flow, tumbling and playing like a babbling brook!

I just paused in my writing to see what others were thinking and read the BlissChick's entry on this theme. She said something that made me leap out of the chair in great joy shouting "Yes, yes, me too. I've discovered that".
Real writers don't have to be novelists. (near enough quote)
It's quite obvious and simple really if you think about it and, although I still feel I have the novel in me', what I have discovered by blogging this year is the pure joy in words - spinning stories, giving magical flight to imaginations, dabbling and dappling scenic backgrounds and just expressing.
And, in true acceptance speech style, I would naturally like to thank everyone who made this possible. Without the support of friends old and new giving words of encouragement along the way, I doubt it would ever have happened.
I thank you all... blub blub..... Nice to see you... Now, where's the champagne?
(Apologies to anyone who doesn'gt get the Bruce Forsyth connection - I guess you have to be familiar with British national treasures! He is one of our best-loved TV entertainers with a number of catch phrases which I've peppered throughout this posting - 'Didn't she do well' being a particular favourite. Did you spot them all? Try looking 'higher'.
