One last quick post for tonight.
I just want to give a huge shoutout to anyone and everyone who is, has been, or even will be reading my blog. I write this blog largely for myself, for my personal fulfillment and to keep my writing skills polished.
But the motivation is all you.
As much as I would love to tell myself I’d keep writing even if no one was reading, the truth is I probably wouldn’t. Knowing that someone out there is reading and that someone is out there who would be willing to sit down and have a conversation with me about what I talk about on my blog, or what they talk about on theirs–it’s an amazing feeling.
Twitter brings much of this to life for me, enabling direct interaction between me and many of you. And the more the better! I absolutely love getting to know new people and I hope that you’ve enjoyed (and will continue to enjoy) my writing!
Also, thank you to all of my sister Cherie’s followers who visited my blog yesterday, I appreciate your reading my little “ultra-biased” book review! I hope you’ll stick around and continue reading my blog.
Finally, if you’re reading my blog and you’ve got a blog of your own, please let me know in the comments (if you don’t know if I read it already). I try to keep up to date with as many as I can, and I’d love to add yours to my RSS Reader so I can keep up with you too!
Thanks again for reading, thanks for being great friends, and I’m looking forward to getting to know all of you even better in this new decade. Continue reading

It’s still a work in progress, but I’m making some serious headway, slowly but surely. As you can see, my blog is undergoing some major, major, changes right now.
First of all, you may have noticed some downtime. This is due to me completely switching platforms for my blog. Previously, I was using Squarespace and, to be honest, they just royally pissed me off. Now, as you can see, I’ve switched to WordPress and I’m incredibly happy with it so far. At first I was pretty intimidated. The idea of having to get a hosting server, and managing FTP and doing in-depth HTML and all those other confusing acronyms… it was almost too much for me. But I’ve summoned up the courage to give it a shot, and boy has it been worth it already.
