A Year's Work Binned But Not Forgotten

I've just had SuperParents wiped clean over the weekend. Erased 450+ posts published in about a year.

SuperParents | Nov 2010 - Oct 2011 | Binned but Not Forgotten

Some of the posts were hastily written and had to be re-edited soon after publishing. Some should have not even seen the light of day. But there were those posts which magically came together - making my humble little blog even more exciting than a gossip magazine!

In fact, I often catch myself thinking of the blog as this tangible thing. It's got a life of its own, I tell you. It guides me to write in a specific way, to reject posts if they don't match up to where it's trying to go, to search for comrades as I hammer away at the keys.

The truth is that SuperParents has been working me as much as I've been working it! It's been an amazing outlet for my thoughts on parenting, life, children, and my own struggles as a man in no man's land. And I have got to say I've come out the winner with all these new friends in my blogging network.

I'm proud of how far we've both come in the last year.

  4. Nice hearing from you, Sonia. Yeah - the Associate Woman is a breath of fresh air for me. SuperParents really made me work hard to output that number of posts in such a short time - whereas I'm really enjoying this new blog and where it's taking me. BTW - just 'liked' your page on FB. :-) Colin
