Anniversary of Blog--10,000 Views

This blog has reached a milestone.  I began posting in November, 2010 and have now reached over ten thousand views!

When I began this journey, I must admit to knowing nothing about blogging, except the word.  And even that was new to my semi-techie vocabulary! 

Today, though, is a different matter.  Not only do I love having and working on my blog, the unanticipated bonus is making connections with people from all over this planet.

In honor of this event of sorts, I've decided to include a list of countries from which the majority of my visitors so far have come.  There are not, though, many countries that haven't had at least several guests pop in!  I hope you find it interesting and return again and again.

Most Visits by Country

United States       8080

Russia                     276

Germany                189

Ukraine                  185

United Kingdom   139

Iran                        100

Australia                 83

India                        82

France                     75

                 Romania                  57                 

A very big Thank You to everyone who is a part of this blog.  My promise is that I'll try to make it interesting, relevant and informative!

  

Divine Caroline Interview Today!

This is a terrific blog!  It is full of great information to use in one's daily life.  Don't miss talking a look at divine caroline.

I am interviewed here today and am so happy to be a guest!   Thank you for hosting me.

One Pelican at a Time:  A Story of the Gulf Oil Spill,  has been and continues to be on Amazon's Bestsellers in Children's Books for eleven weeks. 

Britt, Bella, Mr. Pelican and I are so grateful for the support we've received from literally everywhere.  What an amazing time this has been.  And it's so gratifying to realize that people all over earth care deeply about our environment and the responsibility we have toward it.

Beyond the Books Blog Today

"Beyond the books, the contracts, as well as the rejections, there is an author out there just like you and me – struggling for notoriety and their little piece of the publishing world. Who is that author beyond their book and what makes them tick? Beyond the Books explores what it is that writers go through for publication and how they keep their heads above the waters of rejection."

Find out what I wend through in order to become a published author.  Believe me, it's not just signing books, looking at (hopefully successful) stats and having people ask for an autograph.

Oh, all of that happens, but the journey is long, and one must pay his or her dues.  There is platform building, conferences to attend, long days and nights building a blog following and oh, so much more.

But you know what?  I love it and would never go back to life before writing. 

Read about the journey today!
