After fifteen months of blogging, I've just had an unsolicited email that's made it all seem worthwhile.It's from the people who run the annual Orwell Awards, one of which is for a blog. It's open to anyone to submit their blog - so if you feel like submitting yours, you can find further details of how to do it and what they're looking for HERE.
Like all the other candidates, I'll have to submit ten of the things I've posted between 1 January and 31 December, 2009, which poses the problem of how to select a top 10 from the 319 posts that have appeared (so far) during the year.
HELP PLEASE!
As those of us who write are the least well-qualified to evaluate what we've written, this is where I'm hoping you might be able to help.
If you've seen any posts on the blog during the year that you can still actually remember, and/or that struck you as being particularly interesting, novel or consistent with the 'values' of the Orwell Prize (for more on which, see HERE), I'd greatly appreciate it if you could let me know which ones they were - either in the comments below or by email to maxatkinson(AT)speaking.co.uk).
And if you've time to refresh your memory and select a top 10, there's full list of links to everything posted on the blog since it started HERE.
