Dear {month} - a new series
Hello everyone! It has been a while since I last posted and truthfully I have no other excuse but university. It would be better if I could say that I was on top of all of my lectures and other work and that was why I've neglected you... but I'm not. I'm been in a slump again creatively and although that's nothing new as the time passes I am finding it more and more frustrating.
So I've decided to start this series instead. Now I cannot hold credit for the concept! I'm sure many of you have seen similar posts. What inspired me to make these was watching Carrie Hope Fletcher's "Letters to Autumn" videos. Before Carrie's "Letters to Autumn" there was "Letters to July" by Emily Diana Ruth and I'm sure there were others both before and after. My friend Jenn has done a series of "Letters to anyone" where she reaches out to anyone and everyone from Jacqueline Wilson to Richard III.
The concept isn't new but it is one I love. I hadn't watched Carrie's "Dear Autumn" series before even though it was posted a few years ago now. I was sat in bed feeling grotty, October has been a bad month for my health, and it was raining outside and those videos really hit home that day.
This is how this series is going to go down. I am starting the series by catching up with myself from August. Why August? Because some interesting, happy and sad things have happened in the past couple of months that I've decided I would like to reflect on. So for the next few days I will post August, September and October and from then on at the end of the month I will write about that month.
I think a series is what I need to get me going again and hopefully it will be fun for all of us.
Thanks for reading,
Sophie
P.S. I must also thank everyone for reading my blog - we have now hit over 1,000 views which still astounds me. So thankyou so much to everyone who has taken the time to listen to me ramble xx
