If you’re reading this right now, allow me to thank you. For dropping by, for giving my movie-related musings a moment of your precious time, and for encouraging me to continue to do it. When I first started this blog three years ago, I didn’t think anyone would be interested in what “one more blogger” had to say. And for a good few while there, I was right.
But as I kept posting, you kept reading…and kept encouraging me to keep writing…that there was indeed a spot for “one more blogger”. That support and encouragement has only pushed me to try harder, be a better writer. It’s inspired me to pay that support forward as exponentially as I can, and while I know that this is really all “for funsies”…it’s slowly become something I identify myself with. Again – there’s no way I’d ever feel that way without you.
So here I am: 936 posts, 150 reviews, 26 podcasts, a few dozen new friends and three years later. I’ve been acredited as press for three festivals so far, and have even managed to eclipse the song my blog is named after to become the top search result on Google!
You’ve been with me when I said goodbye to someone, you’ve been there when I said ‘I Do’ to someone. You’ve been there day after day for every geeky, dorky, ranting, raving, overenthusiastic, passionate word. You have been great friends to me and helped me believe in bigger possibilities.
I know this might seem a bit over-effusive for “just another blog”…but I know for certain that it would have been over in three months had it not been for everyone who gave me two minutes of their time.
So here’s to more film festivals, more arguments, more conversations recorded for posterity, more cups of tea, more community, and of course – more movies.
To You!
sincerely,
Hatter.
