The Terrific Twenty: Thank you Followers!

I have only been personal blogging since October 21st, and really had no expectations about the reach and readership of my blog. Of course I want an audience. It has taken me years to get to the point where sharing my personal writing is okay. For the past several months I have worked hard to claim the moniker “writer”. One time recently when asked if I was a writer, I had to literally stamp my foot for my mouth to answer “yes”.

My graduate work is in journalism and marketing communications and even though I have written for a living, I never considered myself a writer. I was a cleaver spin doctor, or an objective reporter. Now I am sharing my personal essays with a bunch of strangers, who like my writing enough to “follow” me. I’d like to thank you all in this Terrific Twenty Roll Call:
