Hard to believe, but ten years ago today, I started blogging for a local newspaper. After two years, I struck out on my own. Granted, there have been long stretches of zero posts, but for close to a year now, I’ve managed three posts a week, with a few extras (like throwbacks for Thanksgiving and Christmas) tossed in. Oh, and I did NaBloPoMo in November 2014 to kickstart my blogging, and managed a post a day, plus NaNoWriMo!
My first entries for the newspaper were written from a fictional point of view (with the blessing of the editor) because I was going for a Diary of V vibe. While it didn’t last (too hard maintaining the duel personalities whilst participating in the forums and commenting on other blogs), the persona of InternetG33k became the basis for my first book, Tangled Web.
Here’s a link to my very first post –

Oh, and how cool is it that my blogiversary falls on a Musing/Microblog Monday?
Happy blogiversary to you! I love your first ever post. I can so relate to trying to figure out a whole future of events before even dating someone, in a past life that is! 🙂
Yeah, I was doing that long before I met my husband, and we got married when I was 24, so I didn’t even have the ticking clock excuse! Thanks for reading, Jess!
Congratulations and Happy Anniversary! Fascinating journey.
Thanks, Middle Girl!
Happy anniversary! *passes the freshly made cookies* Party time! 😉
OMG! I haven’t had your freshly made cookies since our a.t.f.* days! Yummers! Thanks, thinky! 😀
(a.t.f. = alt.tv.farscape, not the smokes and guns thingy, in case anyone else reading this is wondering *grin*)
Happy decablogary! Wow — 10 years! Congrats on all your dedication this past year, too. Inspiring!
Thank you, Lori!
Happy Blog Anniversary. I checked out some of your older posts. Good luck on marketing the new e version of The Tangled Web.
Thanks for reading some of my older stuff, Jessica! Much appreciated.
Congrats on 10 years! I started blogging almost nine years ago, so you’re way ahead of me. I’m also very impressed that you did NaNoWriMo as well as NaBloPoMo all in one month! You should feel very proud with blogging three posts a week. I certainly can’t keep up with that.
Mali, I found that once I had a topic for each day, it made it easier to come up with posts. And thanks – you’re really not that far behind me!
Happy Blogversary Tracy! A decade is a great achievement indeed… Kudos that you stuck with it for this long!!!! 😀
Thanks, anks – hoping I can stick with it for another decade or five. 😉
Congratulations for completing 10 long years..!!! It’s really a long time.. and you seem to have made it through..!!
All the very best..
Cheers
Thank you, Geets! There were many dry stretches, but I’m still here.
Wow! 10 years of blogging. Congratulations! That’s a lot of thoughts, ideas and words.
I wish I’d been more consistent over the years, but I’m hoping this schedule of three days a week gets me through the next ten years. Thanks for the visit, Diana!
Happy blogoversary! 10 years is a huge milestone.
Thanks, Mel! 😀
