(I’m curious to see how this will work. Does it mean another inbox to keep abreast of, or will it serve as a useful means of communications between Tumblr-ites…?)
We’ll be rolling out Fan Mail — a new interblog messaging service — over the next few days for everyone.
You can send unlimited Fan Mail to the blogs you follow and customize each message.
You’ll see the new option appear in your Inbox, avatar menus, or in the top corner of the blogs you follow.
Have fun!

“Every time I’ve made writing mistakes it’s been because of one significant reason. The reason being is that I wrote a poem or short story or a play that was about my need for self- glorification and ego. I was writing and gazing at myself in the mirror and smiling. I also know that my writing has been most successful when I’ve offered my writing in service to others without ego. So when I think of how my writing better serves the reader, I have not failed. I’m always thinking at the back of my mind better words, better books, better people, better interpersonal relationships, better communities, and better world. As lofty as it sounds it helps me stay on my best writing track.”

Happy 2012, dear readers! How did you observe the turn of the year? The christmas/festive thing was a bit up and down for me, but New Year’s Eve turned out to be one of the better celebrations I can remember for various reasons, including the following:
- Rachel Rose Reid’s Poetry Library Takeover, which featured an impeccably curated lineup. Anthony Anaxagorou, Nia Barge, Dizraeli, Katrice Horsley, Adam Kammerling, Femi Martin, Stephanie Dogfoot and yours truly joined forces for a veritable feast of poetry, flash fiction and storytelling. Outstanding way to kick off proceedings in the company of fellow wordsmiths. Hats off to Rachel— she knows how to put on a party. Personal bonus: who was called upon, iPhone in hand, to do a stint as honorary DJ type person to warm up the “everybody take your seats” part of the evening? Yeah, that’s right…
- Sara and Umar. You know who you are if you’re reading this, and you rule. See you at a gig sometime soon. Might not have my own line of stationary or t-shirts by then, but we’ll figure something out…
- Although I’d been booked to perform at a NYE gig in the Poetry Library on the Southbank, I had no idea of what was happening in the rest of the building. D’oh! I walked straight out of the Poetry Library into a set from We Were Evergreen (recommended, if you’re not already familiar) and somehow managed to miss Fiona Bevan.
- Location, location. Prime position for NYE Southbank fireworks, sans wet weather and crowds. Score.
All in all, a memorable night. May the year continue in such a rewarding vein…
