I don’t know if this will be the closest I get to a higher educational degree, but I thought I would mention…
I started writing posts on a Blogger blog four years ago.
This morning, my WordPress dashboard tells me this is my 200th post.
Since I began the work of educating myself to write more often and better, I have found some publishment in print and online. I’ve received much encouragement from friends, especially during bouts of steady rejection. I have become just techy enough to obsess over blog and website details.
Mostly, though, I’ve had fun.
Now I feel on the brink of new steps in this writing journey. (When haven’t I?)
Liking it here.


four years !!! Congratulations, Deanna.
I should make a point of reading your archived posts, are they all linked from here?
I’m excited for you that your are on a not too scary brink.
Thanks for saying that, Deb. You oughtn’t mire yourself in my uneven postings, but it’s nice of you to think you should. My first post from the old blog, “Stories Happen,” is linked to by the word “started” above. It would give you a taste of how I sounded.
