50K, Whaddaya Say?

Well, I got so involved with my gang story, I forgot to brag about hitting yet another blogger milestone. 50K hits. I can’t really believe it to be honest. When I started this blog last summer I thought it would probably last a couple of months and then I’d get bored or it would be so boring that petitions would be circulated to pull the plug. Well slap me silly and color me surprised.

I’ve had a lot of fun with this little piece of real estate in the blogosphere. I’ve met some amazing people and even more amazing writers. I’ve learned about many new things, have become somewhat less technologically challenged and even learned how to use my digital camera. All good things.

I’ve learned how to employ discipline to write regularly. In fact, I’ve never written more, which is a good, good thing. I’ve also become more curious as a person again, thoughts constantly going to what subject or topic I want to post on the blog. Read a lot more too.

But the very best thing about blogging for me is the interaction between myself and people from all over the world, across the country and probably even down the street. I’ve had some amazing debates, conversations and ideas tossed back and forth from all of you guys out there – and I want to say, Thank you. So very much.

I am honored and thankful to all of you for coming, reading, commenting, helping, giving me a laugh, a run for my money and introducing me to your worlds as well.

Much love,

Annie (aka Writer Chick)

  1. I knew this milestone was fast approaching and I couldn’t be happier for you.
    Piquing your curiousity, reading more, writing more all because of the blog?
    How cool is that?
    You deserve all the kudos you will recieve on this post.
    As for me, I thank you but take very little credit as far as all that you’ve done here.
    I could tell you would do great blogging which is why I asked you to do it.
    I’ve told you time and time again that you blew me away. People still come to Smoke and Mirrors to read your stuff. Strange? Coincidence? Not even close. It’s just really good writing.
    Keep the pen moving.
    As I’ve told you before, if you write it, they will be here to read it.
    Congrats, kiddo.
    {{{hugs}}}

    Hey Mikey,
    People still come to S&M to read those old posts? I’m stunned – had no idea – thanks for telling me cuz that makes me feel good. πŸ™‚

    If I write it, they will read? Guess I am trying to build my own little field of dreams here. Wish me luck. πŸ˜‰

    Seriously though, thanks for all the help and encouragement – I never would have done this if you had badgered..er..encouraged me.
    ((((hugs back))))

  2. You’re awesome-your writing, your insights, and your freakish good luck at finding really fab bags for nothing.
    You’ve gotten me writing more, which you know. Thanks for being on each day. I know how dry it can get sometimes.

    Aw, thanks Jess,
    The feeling is mutual. Though I think my freakish good luck at finding fab bags has come to an end. 😦

    It’s true, it can get dry – and the rise and fall of blog activity is a little odd to get used to – I’m still learning. It’s a great discipline though. You know?

    Thanks much,

  7. To think it all began with cream boogers… a classic you should repost it here to celebrate ;p

    Hey Ger,
    Yeah, you’re right, it did all start with cream boogers. Actually, I did post it here but that was quite a while ago. Thanks for remembering and for sticking with me.

  8. That’s amazing, but I won’t congratulate you, because I know you don’t write this blog to simply make your counter click.
    But, I will give you kudos for bringing your wit and wisdom to your audience and for having developed such powerful messages that they all enjoy and look forward to.
    As a writer, I’m sure your goal was to share your talent with others. And you’ve done a great job.
    I hit a 1,000 today after a little over a month and am truly stunned. I had expected my little blog to be just between me, myself and I. For some reason, people keep coming by.

    Wow Ham, what a really nice thing to say. Thank you.

    And congrats on hitting the big 1000 – it is a thrill isn’t it? I have no doubt your blog will become very popular very soon. I mean heck, beer, patriotism and politics, what more could you want? Very well done.
