This is my one-thousandth blog post.
Wow. I never dreamed I would keep blogging this long; never thought I'd keep coming up with things to say. Of course, I am one of those people who have actually spent 6 to 8 hours at a time on the telephone. So, talking (or writing) has never been a problem...unless someone wanted me to keep my opinions to myself.
It also helps that I have a subject I care passionately about. As you know, I can go on and on about liberty. Just look at any of the discussions I have taken part in on this or other blogs and websites. Evidence of my wordiness abounds. Liberty is important. Not just to me and other libertarians, but to those who don't realize its value yet. If, in some small way, my words can get someone to reconsider the importance of liberty, then my life was not a waste.
I have noticed that lately, when I do a Google search for "libertarian blog", my blog comes up 6th or 7th. That amazes me. Of course, maybe Google knows I am the one searching and gives me my own blog as a higher ranked result so my feelings won't be hurt. Who knows.
I would like to say a BIG "thank you" to all my readers, regardless of whether you are new or someone who has been around since the beginning. I also invite you to look over my old posts. I feel bad that the old posts have faded from sight. You don't want me to start publishing a "best of", do you?
I just have one question that keeps sneaking into my head: Does this mean I am a "writer" yet?

Yes
ReplyDeleteHey, congratulations! I would find your self-selected "best of" interesting.
ReplyDeleteCongrats!
ReplyDeleteAnd the answer to your question: well, I'm reading. So that means someone is writing. :-)
Why not do a best-of? The only trouble is, best-of based on what? Many criteria can be used. Most controversial, most original, ones you thought were well written...
ReplyDeleteIf I were to do a "best of", it would probably just be my favorite posts. I would also gladly include "readers' favorites" if they were suggested, too.
ReplyDeleteYea but favourite based on what criterion?
ReplyDeleteIt would vary. Some posts that I have really been happy with got no reaction whatsoever. Some that I thought were weak, got a lot of reaction. Some just felt good writing. All of those things would be taken into account if I were to pick my favorites. But if you would like to nominate a fovorite or two, based upon any criterion you prefer, feel free.
