A Quick Thank You

Posted in Asides, tagged on September 3, 2012| 2 Comments »

Hey everyone,

I just wanted to give a quick thanks to everyone for reading and following my blog.  Writing for an audience is waaay more rewarding than just keeping a journal.

Thank you to the enthusiastic readers that go back and reread my old posts!  Some of you have already noticed that I do occassionally update my old posts both stylistically and content-wise.  In fact, the second half of my most recent post has already been rewritten.

Special thanks to my commenters, especially Traci Kay, Alex Jones, Mona Lisa, and pinkyjumper123 for your many comments.

And thank you to JJ for your epic comments.

Love

A. T. Bui
