My Bloggy Baby's Birthday

So. One year.

I've started and erased this post about a dozen times. I'll keep it brief and focused on what this last year has taught me.

I'm a better writer than I used to be. No doubt next year at this time I'll be able to say the same thing. I hope so, at least. And writing this blog is part of that. It's definitely helped me figure out how to convey humor and emotion with the precious few words allowed. Writing three books has also helped--not only can I do it, I can do it well. I've also learned that I am NOT a middle-grade writer. Poor Tut. What was I thinking?

There is a wealth of information and help out there for aspiring writers. Take advantage of it.

Sometimes are better than sometimes. That's all there is to it. This is one of the sometimes. But not one of the better ones. And you know what? That's okay. Because it all evens out eventually.

I like having an audience. That's probably part of my drive to be published--I like doing things for other people. What can I say, I'm a fan of validation, and, more importantly, making other people happy (or at least entertaining them). This blog is a great outlet for that.

And finally, there are a lot of wonderful, hilarious, genuinely kind, all around awesome people out there in the world. People I would never know otherwise. People I am so, so glad that I do know.

People like you.

Thanks.
