I started blogging about my writing a little over five and a half years ago.  The reason was to connect with some of my readers and I have to say that I consider it a great success.  Over the past year especially, I’ve gotten emails and posts with comments, questions, and words of encouragement.  It’s very gratifying.

During the first four years of blogging, I sometimes felt that I was my only audience.  On my four year anniversary, I had 18 official followers.  Of course I realize that many people visit a site and don’t click the “follow” button for a variety of reasons.  Nevertheless, I was very excited today when I looked at my home page and saw 201 followers!

Thanks to all of you who follow this site and thanks also to anyone who occasionally visits.
