5,000 Hits

Back in 2006, when I first started this blog, I’d never expected to reach 5,000 hits. Like many of the other websites I’ve started or attempted to start, I’d expected to lose interest, or to be disheartened by the lack of traffic and give up. That didn’t happen, however, and I now find myself at something of a sentimental little milestone.

Wow. 5,000 hits. That’s ten hits a day. For some websites, that would be ridiculously small. But, as usual, I’m going to take my achievements where I can get them.

To mark the occasion, I present to you a small gift: 128 ampersands (sorry, that was the best I could come up with. Sleep deprivation always dampens my ability to choose gifts)

Writings Page — Up and Running!

As promised, I’m slowly beginning to merge this site with my two other blogs. Pursuant to that, I’m now posting some of my short stories on the newly-minted Writings page. I plan to update it semi-regularly — that is, on those rare occasions when I can actually get around to writing semi-regularly — so check it periodically. When I’ve finished my revisions on For Ardella (the novella I wrote for NaNoWriMo 2007), I’ll probably post that, too.

A warning: if there isn’t now, there will probably at some point in the future be stuff posted to the Writings page that is not suitable for very young readers (especially if I actually get around to posting For Ardella). There won’t be anything terribly pornographic or overwhelmingly vile and horrible, but I certainly wouldn’t recommend all of my stories for people younger than fifteen or so. But, if you think that you’re mature enough to handle mature themes like sex and death and all that good stuff, then go for it. You have been warned.
