I’m An Adult Now
Today is this blog’s 18th birthday. Blogging and the internet have changed incredibly in that time.

Post #2000
Back in 2006, I got tired of having to update my website every time I wanted to add a tiny piece of news. I’d heard about blogs and thought it would be a good idea to add a blog to my site to make it easier to add news. I decided to add writing tips … Read more
Happy 9th Blog Birthday!
Nine years ago today, I whispered, “Hello, World!” in my first blog post. Like most milestones, in some ways it seems that I’ve been blogging forever, and in other ways it seems that I just wrote those first words. At first, I had few readers and no comments. Then for years, I had many readers … Read more
Happy Blog Birthday!
When I wrote my first post eight years and 1,578 posts ago, I didn’t have many plans for the blog. I had thought I would write about writing, editing, and publishing, and I have. There are 193 posts in the Writing and Publishing Advice category, as well as 274 posts combined in Books and Publishing … Read more

I wondered if anyone would ever read my words. Now, seven years later, I am pleased to note that … Read more
Blogging Milestone: Post Number 1400
This post is a blogging milestone for me. At less than a month before my 7th blog birthday, I have written 1400 posts. When I started out, I didn’t know blogging would be so much fun. I hope my visitors enjoy visiting my blog half as much as I enjoy writing it!
Blogging Milestone: 1200 Posts
When I started blogging in June 2006, I didn’t envision that in less than six years, I would write 1200 blog posts. My blog has evolved in ways I couldn’t imagine. I thought I would be writing about writing and editing and publishing, and I didn’t expect interactive communication. The blog has always been primarily … Read more
Another Blogging Milestone
1100 posts! My posts vary in length so I don’t know how many words that is … but certainly enough for several books! I hope you enjoy reading my blog half as much as I enjoy writing it!
20,000 Comments!
Another blogging milestone: 20,000 comments! Of course, since I reply to every comment, there are really only about 10,000 comments from readers. I say about because when I revamped and moved my blog about three years, threaded comments (including all my responses) were lost. So I don’t actually know many comments I have received, but … Read more
