My first post was posted on Friday, May 24th, 2013. I wrote about wanting to entertain through my words and how I didn’t want to set parameters for this blog. Essentially, I planned to blog about whatever I wanted, whenever I wanted.
Did I achieve what I set out to do a decade ago? You have joined me as I released short stories, poetry and blog serials. You have experienced my reviews of some wonderfully off-kilter books, films and television series. You have stood by me as I shared my struggles & triumphs with vision loss. You even stuck around as I dragged you into my obsession with the late filmmaker Andy Milligan. Hopefully through it all, I entertained you and maybe accidentally expanded your horizons.
No matter how old I get, I shall always be a freakboy, so here’s to another 10 years in the zone… 🤓
Freak Out,

P.S. You have also tolerated the plugging of my books, so click the pic ⤵️ for a recent red carpet review of DARK EXCURSIONS from Realweegiemidget Reviews…
Thanks for being so inspiring. Not everyone has blogged and written so many books in that time X So proud of you and honoured to review and cast your fab book. Thanks for being one of my best blogger pals xx

DeleteSometimes it feels like yesterday and sometimes it feels like forever ago. Lol
I do what I can to support other bloggers and writers
Congrats on 10 years (that's like 25 years in blog years)! Your blog has consistently been a source of fascinating content (including the Milligan stuff), and I always enjoy reading things from your perspective. Stay freaky! :)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Barry! It's been a crazy, creatively fulfilling ride and it ain't over yet! 😃
