A great way to end 2012- Reaching 50,000 views on my blog

This morning I woke up to a wonderful gift- I hit the number of 50,000 page views for my blog.

When I started writing in June of 2011, I wouldn’t have been able to imagine 50,000 views!

So after a year and a half and 89 posts later, with viewers from all over the globe, I have achieved something I could never have foreseen in the beginning.

Many people ask me, “How did you get started?”  The answer is pretty much what you would expect- you just take that leap and go for it. You write them one at a time (at least I do) and hope you can find inspiration for the next one!

 I have had so many sources of inspiration in the last year and a half. To be honest, I have had more inspiration than I have had time or energy. In spite of moments of frustration, doubt, and exhaustion, I have managed to follow through with my goal to continue writing. Some days I want to write, and I simply can’t find the time or the energy to do so, which makes me feel very bad about myself.

If I had my way, I would write more often, but I have to accept the limitations I currently face. I work full-time and since I write most of the day in my job, it is very difficult to muster up the energy to do more writing in the evening. I am working on solutions and means to address this issue, and always love to hear advice from other writers!

Where do you find the time and energy to write when you don’t seem to have enough of the two? Balancing family life, relaxation time, and all life’s mundane chores is something we all have to do. When you are a writer, you have an added facet to the equation.

Lastly, I would like to thank everyone for reading and following AND SHARING my blog. I fully intend to increase my writing stamina and FIND time, by more effective time management and prioritization, to write more often AND IMPROVE my posts. I appreciate comments, ideas, and encourage a conversation. Seriously, please contact me if there is a topic or area you would like me to write about and I will do my best to address it.

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK

 YOU! 

And for those of you who have been truly instrumental in making this happen, well...

 

 I am sincerely looking forward to reaching 100,000 by the end of 2013!!! Let’s make it happen.
