Ahem.
It has come to my attention that I have been blogging exactly 366 days. That is, here on WordPress. There were two other false starts on that “other” blogging platform, but they don’t count. The Zombies are three times charmed, and here I am, one year later.
So where to from here? I am conflicted, to tell you the truth. Something has changed and I cannot exactly tell you what that is. Writer’s block? mmmm …maybe. It might just be that I’m in the downward swing of a cycle. Soon, I will champ at the bit to blog, blog, blog.

Anyone who knows that it is “champing at the bit” and not “chomping at the bit” (or is that just a US malapropism?) must keep writing – we need you! I understand about those downward swings, though.
I actually had a crush on Boris Karloff when I was a (weird) little girl.

Don’t ask me how I know champing vs chomping. It must have picked it up in a book, somewhere. Thanks for comments – it makes me smile.
The bit about Karloff though… eek! What do you suppose was the appeal?

I know, strange, huh? I think his brooding darkness appealed to me somehow. Eek is right! Fortunately my husband looks nothing like him.
