Day Twelve - how you found out about blogging and why you have one

I first started this blog 2 years ago and after a few false starts and a period of being dormant discovered it again thanks to the encouragement of a friend IRL & Facebook (that's you @anecdotal_anna) and a pretty neat tweep on Twitter (that's you @tiffanyff) - mwah to you both!

I'm no journalist, novelist or linguisit but I have always had an interest in writing from a very young age.  Albeit I have lost my touch over time I thought that blogging would clear the cobwebs created by baby brain which seems to have lasted longer than I had hoped for (that will teach me for pumping them out like a factory outlet).

So started the 30 Day Challenge and here I am. Blog up and running, meeting new people and enjoying the diversity of it all.

Besides, there are just not enough character spaces available in status updates for someone who has "something to say".
