One Year Ago...

One year ago, I was one year younger.

One year ago, the average word count for my posts was about 300.

One year ago, my writing was juvenile.

One year ago, I didn’t exactly know, where, to, place, commas.

One year ago, I placed emoticons at inappropriate places. :)  ;P >:(
(and parentheses, too)
One year ago, I didn’t realize that “The arrow affected the aardvark. The effect was eye-popping,”

or that “Sue accepted all party invitations, except ones from George.”

One year ago, this blog was all white and bland.

One year ago, I used the words, “thought-provoking” and “intriguing” way too much.

One year ago, I blogged about uninteresting topics, such as insecticides, and 

made impossible goals, like reading only classic books over the summer.

One year ago, I discovered the word novella and didn’t stop saying it for an entire week.

One year ago, I created the goal that I would inform the world of great books.

One year ago today, I created The Bookshelf: Book Reviews, Recommendations, and News

by Jacob Hopkins.

And I would say that it’s been a pretty good year.
