One year on…
13 05 2008
Today this blog is one year old.
I’m quite surprised I managed to stick at it for this long; in the past my sites have only lasted a few months before I got bored. In the case of The Other Side of The River I’ve managed to post every week and I’ve proven to myself that I can drive traffic off the back of my own content.
It’s been quite a ride. I was shat on in Paris, mugged by an Indian Holy Man, risked liable in the name of satire, annoyed aging politicians, been reduced to fanboy incoherence, tried to pick a fight with Orlando Bloom and bumped into Pulitzer prize winning authors. I’ve managed to get published a few times myself - including in a book - and I’ve made some new friends along the way.
And most importantly it’s fun – that’s why I’m still doing it.
Congrats on the milestone!
Congratulations… do we get to taste the cake?
Happy blog birthday and congratulations on sticking with it. I really enjoyed hanging out with you guys at Eastercon, and I hope you and G are having a great time down there in NZ.
Owen - Thanks for the congrats
Abbi - afraid I didn’t actually bake a cake
GLP - cheers Gareth. We had a fantastic time in New Zealand. G and I both enjoyed seeing you at Eastercon too. See you at the next event…which may well be your book launch from the sound of things
Dude,
Happy birthday! I hope I make it to the Big 1. So far, so good . . .
Glad your trip went well.
