This isn't a typical post. Usually you'd point someone out by name, but it turns out, the people I want to talk about aren't really on the names I once knew them on.
It's been a long time, but I wanted to say to these people that I appreciate the time we spent writing together. Ages ago, I had a small cluster of friends who had the most imaginative, innovative minds I'd ever come across in my fifteen (check it - I started writing online in 2002) years of writing with others online.
Now, I've fallen out with a few people through my course, but I wanted to tell the people that I've written with this: Regardless of where we ended our relationship, you influenced my writing and creative process in ways that I could never thank you enough for.
We've all been there - we've lost lines and friends. Every one of those closed doors is worth remembering and cherishing. So, thank you - and Happy New Year.
