A blogger I follow once wrote about the importance of celebrating Writing milestones and I have a big one today. My blog!

There are days when I wonder why I latched on to Fairy Tales as my theme for a blog. I knew I didn’t want to add another how-to write blog to the world, mostly because I didn’t feel qualified to add my two cents. In truth I still don’t, but for different reasons—namely my way of writing works for me, but not necessarily anyone else.

I revisited my first post, Welcome to My Corner, and it brought back a lot of memories. I had finished my first Book (or so I thought it was finished, but it was really just the start of my journey into editing—a story for another time) and had been told I needed to have an online presence if I was serious about becoming a published author. My daughter was still young enough to be read to and I was reading her classic fairy tales, which I found intriguing and disturbing.

It’s been ten years since I started this blog and I’m still writing about fairy tales. I’m just shy of 250 followers, which I know doesn’t sound like a lot, but to me is amazing. I’ve written four books and published three (more details on book four soon). These numbers all seem small at a time when only people who have hundreds of thousands of followers and churn out books every six months, but I’m really proud of my accomplishments.

So, readers, Happy Blogoversary! Thanks for reading and keeping up with my corner of the world.

Do you have any writing anniversaries you’re celebrating?
