I published my very
first blog post on the sixth of May of this year. At the time I’d just
reached 100 Twitter followers (which is what prompted the launch of the blog)
and the design was all tan and red with a huge picture of books in the
background and no pretty banner.
Yes, Writability was a completely different animal then.
I had two comments on my first post—one of them was my
response to my only commenter. But none of that mattered, because I was in awe
that anyone would want to read my posts to begin with. Every page view was
someone giving me a chance and I battled a serious case of nerves every time I
hit the “Publish” button.
Fast forward seven months and 99 blog posts and really
nothing has changed—well, except for the nerves part. I still smile every time
I see a comment and get rather excited every time I gain a lovely new reader.
Because if there’s anything I’ve learned as a blogger, it’s
just how important every single of you guys are. It doesn’t matter if you
follow this blog regularly or just happened to have clicked a link to get here,
I’m thankful for you.
Because out of everything I talked about in my last post,
you guys make the biggest impact. You’re what keeps me going, what keeps me clicking
“publish” three times a week. Without you, my lovely readers, Writability would
not still be here.
So rather than posting my top ten posts thus far, I’m going
to share my most popular post with you guys and I hope you’ll do the same.
That’s right, I want to know your best post in the history of your blog.
Now I’m aware that not everyone here is a blogger, but I
want you guys to have a chance to interact, too.
For those of you who don’t
have a blog, share your favorite post from someone else’s blog. I promise to
take a look at it as long as it doesn't have anything inappropriate (so keep
them PG please, or they won’t be published in the comments).
So here we go! My most popular post thus far is Why
Writers Must Read.
What about you?
