Thursday Thirteen: Happy Birthday!

Facebooktwitterredditpinterestlinkedinmail

1. April marks a milestone around here.

2. My blog turns four!

3. I turn … a lot older than four.

4. You’re glad of that part. Four year-olds should NOT blog.

5. Because it’s my blog’s birthday, I have now closed the files on what will become Demo Tapes: Year 4.

6. I plan to have at least two new books out for you guys to buy and read during the next calendar year.

7. Check out where I was last year.

8. Holy smoke, have I come far in one year.

9. Notice how I said the blog was turning four that year, too. Maybe I’m stuck on the number four.

10. Really, I counted wrong last year. I did.

11. So… this place has its fourth birthday. That makes me feel like an old blogger. And I am.

12. I miss some of the old friends who used to hang around here.

13. Why don’t YOU take their place?

    You’ve come a very long way in the last year and you seem happier. One can only wait so long for other people to get on board. I’m glad to see you making your dreams a reality.

    I guess that means in blog years 4 is what 30 is in woman years (that age we just can’t seem to leave behind for a few years!)

    Two new books this year! That is awesome!

    Happy fourth blogger Birthday! I for one, am glad I virtually met you. I love coming by here and seeing what the Shapeshifter guys are up to, and occasionally a bit about Susan too, although lately I haven’t been by as often as I would like too. My bad and I’m working on it.

    Keep on going on! 🙂

    Congratulations on 4 years. What an accomplishment. I’m in awe, since I’ve still got a couple more weeks before reaching the 4 month marker. Does that mean I can can call myself a young blogger? Grandma likes that.

    Happy TT! Has TT been around for 4 yrs? (I’m a newbie to TT/T-13). Now I shall sing:

    Birthday greetings, “right on”!
    Write on to you, write on to you,
    Write on, dear planetary diversion,
    Write on to you!

    And many more years
    exposing the diction
    adorning your blog’s fiction.

    (I don’t do rhyme well, but the sentiment is there from this “Free the Verse” Green-eyed Lady.)

    Hugs,
    Gel

    Happy Birthday to your blog!! So you’ve only been at it for a year longer than I have? You seemed so firmly established when I met you. I thought it was longer than that.

    Happy Birthday dear blog!

    Sorry it took me so long to come by. We have to finish purchasing everything for this fiscal year by April 20. Eep!

    May you blog for many more years (and sell many copies of Year 3 and 4).
