A Missed Milestone

So it's a birthday of sorts here at Madness Abides... one year ago yesterday there was a small "coming soon" post which marked my entry into the book blogging world (my “official” first post came on the 10th). Sure, this blog has changed from what I originally envisioned it would be, but it has been a whole year of somewhat regular posts, and that is something I am oddly proud of. A while back I had grand thoughts of celebrating this week with giveaways and special posts, but alas that lazy book blogger has snuck his way into my head as of late (OK, I'll admit it, I’ve been busy at work, which, while a good excuse, is also a rather lousy excuse). Those unexecuted plans do provide material for the future, so a shiny silver lining is present. All in all, this year has flown by and it has been extremely enjoyable to keep Madness Abides... well... abiding, as it were.

As there are a whole lot of things I wanted Madness Abides to be, and many of my ideas have yet to come to pass, I am looking forward to both more of the same and having this blog evolve further... wish me luck - and on to year two we go!
