2000

So, I'd like to mention that my blog just hit 2,000 views. It's really freaking awesome.

A year ago today, I had maybe a maximum of 100 views. You know who used to frequent this blog the most? Me. I used to be my own biggest fan. Which is about the saddest thing I've ever heard, because I didn't even believe in myself all that much back then.

But then I got back on the band wagon, and started up a storyline I'd been writing since I was nine. I just thought it would be my own thing at first. You know, the kind of thing you write for fun. Whoo-ee, though, you guys proved me wrong. I love that I don't even need look at my blog from the other side anymore like I used to, and that every view represents one of you saying, "I like this. I'm reading it, I'm keeping up with this story, because I appreciate it." And that much alone is worth dying over. I went back through your comments and I have to say, you guys rock. It's hella rad to have you all here reading my stuff.

So, I know I haven't been nearly as consistent as I keep telling you I will be. And that's partially because I have school to worry about and that I get sick sometimes, sure. But I've also been working on a bunch of projects with some of my other blogging peeps. (Bet you didn't know I have blogging peeps, eh?) We're writing like three different things at the same time, and I've created a new blog and posted some stuff on that thing, though I'm not quite ready to share it with you. I have a total of two Tumblr accounts, and I've been managing that. And I've also been planning out that Super comic I was hinting at. You know, that thing I sorely disappointed everyone about because I didn't update on it for months? Well, I can't say I've been focusing hugely on it, but I've been making progress. And there's the other comic that got destroyed in the rain? I'm going to fix hat one up for real, too.

So yeah, I've been on hiatus for a while. And I'm sorry it went unannounced. But I wasn't just ignoring you guys, I promise. And I told myself that, hey, you guys haven't seen the light of any of my art that wasn't absolutely horrendous for a while. So I decided to doodle some thank you things for y'all.

When I first saw that I had reached 2,000 views, I was like:

And then I started freaking out but trying to contain it like:

And then I realized that I should thank you guys for being such cool peeps to me and all, so:

Thanks to you all for being there for me! And reading my blog even if I didn't put new stuff on here! I swear, when school gets out next month, I will work out a good schedule again. Last summer I didn't have so much of a schedule as a rule to have at least one post a week. I've figured out how I can cue things up and space out my writings a bit more, so that'll be different, I guess?

Basically, in the act of creating a bunch of new stuff, I figured out how to use the old stuff. So expect me to be more blog-tech-savvy now, okay? I've gotten used to the lingo, and how to use all of these buttons. Keep in mind, I've barely been doing this a year. I also worked out this system that'll sound complicated on paper but is much easier and less tedious than what I had before that'll help me upload images. Because I used to have major issues with that. So you may see more artwork on here....!

Basically, thanks. Y'know. That's something I said too many times already, but whatever.
