Good Riddance 2007?

Did you see this? In the States people are writing about the things that didn't go too well for them in 2007 and then 'posting them away' , as a way of getting rid and moving on...
I thought of doing the same but couldn't be arsed to spend any energy on 'what went wrong'.
Instead, here's a list of everything and everyone who made my 2007 such a great writing year. So in no particular order, big thanks to:

1. Doris Lessing - for inspiration, for writing about Apartheid, for winning the Nobel prize at eighty-something , for The Grass is Singing
2. Bookslam - for being the coolest thing I've done in far too long
3. Def Poetry Jams on YouTube - for Floetry, Rives, Shihan and many more
4. Amy Winehouse - for Back to Black
5. Papa D - for being the first person to tell me about my blog (without knowing it was mine!)
6. WriteWords - for advice, spats, inspiration and the Life Boar. It should really be number one on this list...
7. Chimamanda Ngozie Adichie - for telling the story of Biafra
8. OBE and the Africa Channel - for painting another picture
9. Rhonda Byrne - for The Secret. Which works.
10. The Child - for inspiration and love; for laughter and bizarre one-liners like, 'Heaven is full of dead people.'
11. The Itch of Writing - for reminding me - every single morning

Goodbye '007. Bring on '08.
