When I first started blogging almost 4 years ago (or even better when I started Xanga-ing a year before that), I’d probably have laughed at you if you’d have told me that within 4 years time I’d have written 900 blog posts.
Sure, some are much more work than others, but I still seem to find plenty of things to say. My to-blog list is growing faster than I cross things off of it (but certainly not growing as fast as my to-be-read list!).
I suppose it helps that I’m a talker. While I’m introverted and reserved, once I get comfortable in a situation, I might just run my mouth (though interestingly, I seem to be attracted to friends who are even talkier than I am, so we can talk for days!).
It also helps that I’m quite opinionated…I have something to say about almost every subject under the sun. An exaggeration, sure, but if I’ve been exposed to it, I likely have something to say.
And it can’t hurt that I have wonderful commenters who add to the discussion. Reading other blogs (and those old-fashioned things called books) gets me thinking and fuels my writing. And then you commenters add to my discussion of topics here, helping me to refine and sometimes correct my views.
So thanks for reading. While this blog isn’t huge (and I seriously doubt it’d ever will be), it means a lot that anyone would take the time to read what I have to say.
Here’s to 900 more!
Isn’t it ironic that my 900th post falls on April 15th…my last day of tax season? I hit 500 on Christmas and 800 on the day before Thanksgiving. Let’s see…should I try to hit 1000 on Labor Day?
Congratulations, Ronnie. 900 posts in 4 years in quite an accomplishment.
We are still right side by side… I’m getting ready to hit 900 myself… we are both some “talkers” :)
Keep going girl… love to hear all you have to say!
Wow! Congrats girlie! That is a lot of blogging! :)
Congrats!! I’m jealous that you’re finding so many things to write about. I’m about as dry as a burnt up piece of toast :) Keep on writing!
I am with Vicki…I have writers block right now. I have a lot to say, but don’t know where to start. :-)
Congrats! Big milestone! I’ve been blogging for about 4.5 years, but on a couple different blogs (I’ve migrated a couple times) and I’m in the mid-800s right now. I wasn’t as consistent when I first started through.
Here’s to 900 more!
Cheers,
Allison
i love the pic, is it in your new back yard? I just had my 1000 blog post… it was bizarre to realize I have done all of that in 2 years. I am definitely a talker :) Congrats and it is fun reading yours!
Thanks, all!
Vicki and Jacki: You’ll find something to say again, I’m sure!
Julie: The picture is from when I was in Turkey.
Keep blogging and I’ll keep reading! =D Congratulations!
Wow, congratulations on your accomplishment of 900 posts AND 4 years of blogging! Thanks for stopping by my blog the other day. I’ve got you in my Google Reader now so I’ll be waiting for that 1000th post (LOL).
Happy 900th post! I never thought blogging would be something I really got into. I just started to have something to do while my boyfriend, now husband was into World of Warcraft lol
I do enjoy your blogging…however, I do miss the personal correspondence…
Wow! Congratulations on this newest milestone. Btw, I love the shirt you are wearing in the picture. So cute!
Congrats on the milestone! I can’t imagine making that many posts. I just hit 200 and never thought I’d get there!
900 posts is an amazing accomplishment! Here’s to – at least – 900 more. :)
