It is a wet Thursday morning as I write this. After 193 posts, 424 comments and a readership hit of almost 10,000 my blog has arrived at its first milestone. I’m quite surprised myself (don’t snigger) since I’m not a diary sort of person. I remember when I was young my dad would give me a diary without fail at the end of each year. I’d be very enthusiastic writing down the January entries. Then entries for February would be less, March even more so, and by the time April arrived my diary was practically devoid of content. Nonetheless, I started this blog last April without any expectations; the main thing different is that this is read by readers all over the world, who are free to comment on my musings (which makes it more enjoyable and exciting for me)
Of course the neat thing about having my own blog is that I can write about anything that I want, though I steer clear of religion and politics. I believe my ebook (see the sidebar) has received much exposure here, and hopefully that will help its sales along. I’ve even extended an invitation to a close friend to guest-write here (she’s still thinking about it, you know who you are, K) And last but not least, a big thank you to the folks at WordPress.org for giving me this vehicle to ride (write?) on, and for free, to boot. Thanks to Windows Live Writer too, an excellent tool for writing my posts and drafts before publishing.
Finally, a big THANK YOU to all you guys and girls out there in cyberspace who have visited and read my blog. I hope you’ll keep coming, and please feel free to drop me a line—it can be quite lonely when I’m writing by myself. Have a good day.
