Nick and I went from being pleasant roommates, to excited
lover willing to experiment.
I went from having no one in the world to discuss my
‘weirdness’ with to having many close friends on several continents who
understand me very well and share my desire to be spanked.
I was someone who rarely spoke up for herself at work, or
other places. I kept things in and swallowed my anger. Through blogging – and
ranting to you all when I needed to – I found my voice and I’m able to
articulate pretty well when I needed to.
I went from someone who spent way too much time daydreaming
with nothing to show for it. To someone who continues to spend way too much
time daydreaming with six, soon to be seven book to show for it.
I’m happier, more courageous and more productive. I thank
everyone who has ever come by to read, leave a comment, contributed a story to
fantasy Friday, emailed me, encouraged me or who has taken time out of their
real lives to travel to meet in person.
I love you guys!
This means next year with be a full decade - anyone up for an anniversary party?
Congratulations on your blogiversary! You're an inspiration to many - bloggers, writers and spankos, and thank you for FF, it gave me the boost I needed.
