Has It Been That Long?
Whoa. While caught up in NaNoWriMo, I completely missed the fact that it’s now been one year since I started blogging. Note that the Happy Birthday to Winona Ryder post wasn’t really the first post, as I back-dated it (oh, the horror!) to test out my monthly archives (and that was, honestly, the only time I’ve done that), and my next two posts were basically just repostings of some of my message board writings. Meaning that my rather unremarkable PoMoSexuality post back on November 7th of 2003 was really my first blog post.
Such a milestone warrants a bigger post than the one I wrote for my sixth month blogiversary, but unfortunately I don’t really have the time to do it justice. However, while updating my Blogger Code at my About Me page, I realized that the Biography section wasn’t really all that biographical, so I’ve updated it quite a bit. And the more astute among you will have already noticed a couple of weeks ago that I updated my “Favorite Blogs” list again (on the sidebar of the main page, in case you’re reading this from the post’s individual page or from the RSS feed).
As for the novel, well I’ve got 19,000 words, which is about 8,000 words behind pace. I’m otherwise pretty pleased with how it’s going, although I know I have to seriously rework some of the earlier chapters. Besides, I’ve long figured I should just forget about the wordcount and concentrate on finishing the novel before the end of the year. More on that later.
