Day 202: December 30th

From the newsdesk...
This is the end

The time has come for me to say goodbye to this blog. I have decided that I want to try something new and as with the theme of the new year coming up, I would like a new blog, a clean slate as such.

The blog has taught me to start small and work your way up.
It's shown me that if something isn't working to keep trying and if it still isn't going your way, there's no shame in giving up.
The days of the lists were my love and hate. If I could think of something it was fantastic and I'd just slam it out, but BUT if I couldn't think of anything it was a nightmare and sometimes the blog was a chore instead of something fun and frivolous.
My current theme From the newsdesk suits me much better. It gives me more freedom and time to write whatever I want and whenever I want. I think that writing on this blog gave me more confidence to share my writing to the world (even if no-one is reading it) and to critique my own writing as it appeared on the screen. To quote Hairspray, "I've come so far, but I've got so far to go".

So goodbye to 365lists - I never did finish you, but I tried my best. You got the best of me, but I'm very proud of what I achieved (168 days).
Goodbye to From the newsdesk - you've taught me what real blogging is like and how to write really. I will miss you all, but thanks for everything.

Goodbye. Sayonara. Au Revior. Tchau. Shalom.

Day 201: December 11


From the newsdesk...
Date

So I guess I should commemorate this memorable occasion by making a blog post about it. Today is in fact the 11/12/13.

Unless you're American, in which case the date would be written as 12/11/13 and this doesn't make it cool like it is Australia. 

I am up to episode 3, season 8 of FRIENDS,
I am currently reading A Million Little Pieces by James Frey. Very good read, but long. 

Do yourself a favour and listen to Barack Obama's speech at Nelson Mandela's memorial service.
