Technically, my blog's first birthday was yesterday. But stuff happened, so the party is today!
I definitely didn't know when I starting blogging how awesome (and addictive) it would be. It's been so amazing meeting lots of new friends and talking about writing with other writers.
So, here's a cheers to all of you, my rockin' blog friends! A walk down memory lane:
My first blog post, So the Journey Begins... Through the summer I was just blogging for myself and not trying to connect to anyone. But then all of the sudden in October, I posted Begin the Begin, and my very first non-family commenter appeared! After that, things happened very rapidly and my followers grew pretty quickly.
Then in November, I had my first big querying breakthrough. I wrote about it in Good News and Bad News. Then, in January I wrote a fun post, Top 10 of '10, about all the crazy writing things that happened in 2010. Shortly after that, I wrote Recipe for a heart-racing, knot-in-stomach, loss-of-breath good time, which is just sort of funny.
It's been great getting to know you guys, and I look forward to another great year!
Congrats! I love your blog :) I can relate to those first few months where you're basically blogging for yourself, it feels pretty weird--and so gratifying when those first few comments start to appear :) Good luck with the querying!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday! Go you! Rah! I don't usually like exclamation points but it's your blog birthday. So, double Rah!
ReplyDeleteWhooo! Happy blogiversary! Here's to many more! I love how it only takes a single follower to start the snowball effect that eventually leads to hundreds of people looking at your blog :)

ReplyDeleteHappy blogaversary. Like you, I first started blogging for myself, and then found out how much fun it was to read everyone else's blog and meet cool writers out there with so much to share. Here's to another good year!
ReplyDeleteHappy Blogaversary Alexis! So glad you've had a great year of blogging. Mine's coming up in September! When I started, I had no idea the dynamics of blogging, and the friendships I'd make!
