Writing A Decent Blog - Attempt Two

Firstly, the reason why the writing in all of my Europe posts was so terrible:

Anyone who's been overseas knows that internet time can be quite scarce - and really, who can be fucked writing anything remotely solid when there's so much amazing shit to see. So rather than writing my usual hearty posts AND the obligatory group e-mails to family and friends, I just wrote the boring group e-mails and posted them here - slightly edited in a vain attempt to make them look like real posts.

I did all this while saying to myself that when I got home I'd return to my faithful blog and make it up to you all.

But.... being the fickle blogger I am, I instead opted to not write a single word for two months. In doing so I think I can safely say I have officially killed what was once a thriving and, dare I say, popular blog.

My loyal fans have abandoned me, and who can blame them? I broke promise after promise about when I'd post, it was only a matter of time before each reader moved on to better things.

So there's nothing more I can do but bite my lip, put my fingers on the keyboard and start typing.

Gentle reader, tell your friends - I am back.

If everything else fails to inspire, just post a random selection of 55 word stories and all shall be right with the world again.

Thanks Mich, I'll try my darndest.

As for you Mel, haven't seen your round here before so I'm very chuffed to already have a fresh commenter in my new quest for a decent blog.

As for your suggestion, I am stil undecided as to whether 55 words and fight club will return - stay tuned for further developments.

Want to see them back? That's what the comments are for, let me know.

Cheers to both of you and whoever else is still around.
