Happy 1st Birthday, Blog!  \(^0^)/

Time didn't just fly by this past year, it took an SST!  So much has happened since February 24th of last year, including the release of my first book of verse: Echoes, Neo-Victorian Poetry, and my life is no longer as it used to be.

As soon as Echoes was published, author dates began to nudge their way into my calendar.  The Clockwork Alchemy Convention, which was my first foray into book signing, paneling, and selling at an author table, kicked things off.

Soon, I was involved in book signings, poetry readings locally, conventions, an inaugural author fair, and a reading in a local cafe.  Attending the San Francisco Writers Conference rounded out an entire year of author dates.

Did I see any of this coming?  Nope.  It's all been a huge, exhilarating, and sometimes exhausting surprise to me.  Another surprise came in the form of a recent comment from an experienced blogger at the SFWC recently.

Apparently, I blog too frequently!  Her advice was to post to one's blog once a week, or twice a month, and no more.  So, in this celebratory blog post I am announcing that I will begin uploading my posts once a week ... for now.


And so, as I prepare to blow out the candle and enjoy this luscious birthday cupcake with my blog, I thank you for spending the time to read this ongoing dialogue about becoming an independently published poet, and blogger.

Happy birthday! Slowing down on the blog is fine as long as you are working on that next book of poetry instead.
