Happy Birthday, New Word!

Today's New Word's blogiversary. It's been one whole year since I started this blog, and one whole year of basically neglecting it. This I regret very much. I had so many cool ideas for this thing when I started it. It was all good at first. I already had my personal blog, studio635, that I started 2 weeks earlier, but I always wanted to do something literary.

Back in the day, I'd thought about doing a literary magazine, but never got it off the ground. I've always been involved in publishing, whether being on the school newspaper, or helping others design or edit their publications, so when this blogging thing came about, I figured it would be the perfect way to get my own thing going. Plus, I figured it would be a good way to get me reading books and poetry. Oh well. One out of two ain't bad.

Right now, I'm blogging everywhere but here. Since I started New Word, I've created about 5 other blogs, ranging from a community site to a videoblog. Because of those efforts, I've been invited to speak at a blogging conference, and am working a full-time job I got from a referral from my vlogger friend, Jay. I really can't complain. I just wish the days had a few more hours in them so I can post here more.
