My blog has existed long before I jumped into the book blogosphere. However, back then I didn’t really know what I was doing—as opposed to now where I BARELY know what I’m doing. I had maybe a dozen email followers, but no daily traffic to speak of.
Then I started talking to Shanah. Yes, the Bionic Bookworm. What she was doing (and still does) seemed like so much fun. It was admirable. I didn’t know anyone else who was doing anything like it, and the whole thing revolved around one of my favorite subjects in the world: Books.
At that point, I thought I’d only post a few times a week. One minimum, three maximum. But then someone likes your post, and another person comments, and then addiction sets in. I’m still not a daily poster, but it’s not for lack of desire. Some weeks I just don’t have much to post about while staying entertaining. Sure, I could do a big long post about my dog and all the different reasons he whines at me in the course of a day, but I don’t want to write that. And if I don’t want to write it, who the heck is going to want to read it? No one. Except my mom.
I owe a massive debt of gratitude to everyone who found my random musings interesting enough to follow this blog. The space I occupy in your daily feed is not something I plan to take for granted. But as long as you’re willing to read my ramblings, I’ll keep writing them.
I’m not surprised you hit 100. Your posts are always fun to read and make me chuckle. 😊 Congratulations!
Thank you! That’s very kind of you to say! Hopefully they continue to make you chuckle.
Yayyy!!! Congratulations for 100 followers. Keep on doing the good work. 🙂
Thank you! I will!
Congratulations on 100 followers! You deserve it and you will definitely reach 200 in no time! I have no doubt about it! 🙂
Thanks, Danielle! Very nice of you to say! 🙂
Congrats! I knew you would get to this point. And I’m so glad that you decided to keep up with it. I laugh literally every time I read your posts. It’s great to see you combine your passions – reading and writing – and turning it into this blog. And I’m also glad this seemed to increase your reading! You explained it perfectly though – blogging is an addition. I never planned on posting daily, but as the thoughts started pouring in, I realized I had a lot more to talk about than there were days in a week!
Congrats on being in the triple digits!! May there be many more to come!!
I can’t thank you enough, Shanah. You are the catalyst to everything that this blog has evolved into. Not to mention the constant advice I’m always bothering you for! I owe gratitude to each and every follower, but I think I may owe you a bottle of wine… or a case.
Mmmmmm I like wine! 😂 awe you’re too sweet! But seriously, I’m only your motivation. Those followers are all you and you deserve every one of them!
Speaking of wine, we will share a drink or two if we all get together at Christmas. We deserve it 🙂
First congratulations! Then you are right about it being an addiction when we see others interacting with us! Originally I planned on posting twice a week certainly not daily! Las but not least Shanah! She is a wonderful person who has many interesting ideas about books and more important: she cares!
Thank you! I’ve enjoyed every day of this ride since jumping on, and you’re right about it all.
Yay congrats!!!!!
Thanks, Ally! I appreciate you always taking the time to visit.
