It's only taken three years but I finally have a fan


Did I tell you that I’ve been writing for three years now?

My third Blogiversary passed by in April, relatively unnoticed by the world and I. This year has been a little rocky for me and posts have taken a little dive as a result.

I won’t bore you with the detail but I’ll use some keywords to describe the distractions that have been going on about me in both my immediate and extended family over the past six months.

Physical attacks
Breast Cancer
Strokes
Redundancy
Stress

I didn’t want to write about any of those things but as they were filling my mind and taking up most of my thinking time, writing anything here became harder and harder.

Anyway…

To the point.

Something happened this weekend that has really cheered me up, really made me smile.

I got a fan-mail.

An actual letter (well, email really but it’s the same thing) from Susan. Susan is an actual bone fide reader!
Not only does she take the time to read here, which is pretty blummin amazing, but she then felt the need to write in and tell me what she thought…

Not because she has a blog to promote, which she doesn’t,  not because she was after a plug or a giveaway…

But because she wanted to.

How amazingly brilliant is that?

So, Susan – thank you – thank you for being an ace reader.

You made my year – even if you did tell me off for not posting often enough… working on it -)

First, I would like to congratulate you on your fan mail. As Kristin mentioned above, "Susan" knows a quality blog and a fantastic writer when she reads one.
However, I must point out that you have a very loyal following and tons of people who adore your.... "Glen-ness" if you will.
That said,I can VERY MUCH appreciate a nice email, or a flat out compliment on something I love to do. Is there any better feeling? Good going Glen, next stop:Being published WORLD WIDE.

So true - it's smashing -- thanks :-)
