Blogger’s Last Adieu
May 23rd, 2012 § Leave a Comment
You’re the only one,
that visits every day.
My series on the top ten things to see in Margate Bay
remains unfinished.
But you don’t care
that I gave up at number two.
It’s all the same to you.
I tagged each post
in exactly the right way
Still your index of my dreams and of all I try to say
remains unfound.
But I don’t care
that no-one else will see.
It’s all the same to me.
I’ve tried to talk
tried to share, make connections through the air,
Me and this girl from South Korea once swapped likes!
But next day, hers was gone.
My stats went back to one.
So,
now that we’re friends
you should know
There’s no-one else for me to talk to even though
you’re just a bot.
Just don’t be shocked
if next time you come around
It says 404 not found.

Inspired by Neil Gaiman’s ‘I Google You’

And then one day, I got in

I’d heard about Clarion, about the boot camp for writers that takes place each Summer in San Diego.
I’d read about some of my favourite authors like Neil Gaiman and John Scalzi teaching there.
I had literally dreamed about getting in. (That particular dream was a gruelling interview, followed by Wipeout assault course which I totally killed by the way.) For a few moments after I woke up I believed I had been accepted. I was crushed when I came to.
It seemed… unobtainable… other.
In a pipe dream moment, I applied.
And then one day, I got in.
Roll on June 24th.
