1-Year Blogiversary
Hey, it was my 1-year blogiversary today. Time for a round of parenthetically shaped virtual cake (chocolate for me, of course, but you can have any flavor you like). Even though the writing has been less regular than I'd like, I'm still pleased that I've kept at it. That was the goal: to keep writing, to keep in practice. And I would have gotten away with it too, if it wasn't for those meddling kids...
I took a brief tour back through my vast archives, and I was pleased that not every entry resorted to mere reporting of the day's (or week's) events. I think the best ones managed to do what Suzanne's essays do, which is to make the personal universally relatable. (Well ok, maybe not universal, but at least relatable for a wider audience.) Feel free to go look around, if you're bored and in a clicky mood, and tell me what you think.
And I want to end with shout outs to Suzanne and Rebecca, writing group partners and dedicated blog readers, who are also celebrating blogiversaries soon (R this month and S in September). And to Josh, who convinced me that I should really start a blog and even set it all up for me. I couldn't have done it without y'all.
Happy Blogiversary!!!!
And yes, you more than "managed" to have meaningful, thoughtful posts. You did so regularly in the last year. Kudos!
Wow, a year! A great accomplishment, Julia--but then, you're a great gal! Thanks for convincing me to launch into the blogosphere--you've helped me to change my life, in so many ways...PWG rawks!
"Meddling Kids!" HA! That's the best use of that line as a joke that I have ever heard! Nice one!
Hey! Just wanted to thank you for this post. I installed a stat counter on my blog, and I received double the usual (well, usual for the past week) visits on the 25th. Woo! The stat counter is quite illuminating, btw. I know I need to learn how to interpret the data properly, but I think I'm getting a lot more activity than I thought I was. More motiviation to blog more often!
