Would you like my autograph?

Finally something blogworthy happened. Can one's life be more boring than mine? Probably, but honestly, I haven't had any inspiration for a blog story all that time that I haven't been here. So if you've all collectively left me... I can't blame you.

Still, on the off-chance that someone likes to share my smile....

We have a subscription to a glossy equine magazine here in the Netherlands and in their latest edition they asked for people who'd like to write blogs for their new, yet to be launched website. They asked for people who could write about a specific goal they have with their horse, for example; if you're training for an endurance-competition, are you taking up eventing...

People who were interested had to send in a blog, 250 words max. (! very difficult, 250 words is nothing) and then they would choose from those.

So I thought about it for a couple of days and decided I'd try to become a Bit-blogger. My goal being: to train my 'home bred' foal Evie into a lovely, easy going riding horse.

Wrote a tiny 250 words-blog about it and sent it in.

And just now I got an email from Bit. I've been chosen to be one of their Bit-bloggers.

Oh no... the pressure... haha. Now I háve to write a monthly blog. Which is more than I've written for this blog in the last year. Hopefully it will trigger the writing-nerve and will give me inspiration to write here too.

I have enough to write about Evie and all things horsey, but I don't want to write only about horses here.

Oh, and the other fun thing... one of my photographs has been published in a Dutch photography magazine and they've asked if I want to send in another one of my photos that they are thinking of publishing too. No guarantee that it will be published, but it is the thought that counts.

This is actually the fourth photo they've wanted to publish, but stupid me hadn't saved the first two in a large enough size. Ah well... one learns as one goes through life.

So... would you like my autograph?
Who knows... it may be worth real money one day. When I'm a famous photographer/blogger. Chuckling... Probably not. But it's the thought that counts. I think.
