I Wish This Was 42 - by Dianna G

A YEAR?

July 18th 2008 06:48
I Wish This Was 42 has been here for over a year.

And so have I.

Now I'm going to get out all the gushy thank yous to the wonderful community that has kept me here.

David,

Although you are gone now and I have no idea if you still check up on us occasionally, it was your quick comments that left me enthralled. And delighted. It was your great conversation that brought me much comfort. Your writing was great and your blogging a delight. I do miss you, and will never forget what an excellent writer, and person, you were. Although I never met you, nor did I know you for very long, you did leave an impact-I actually was very upset when I discovered your URL in the hands of another blogger.

You were a very welcoming part of the community, and I loved your sarcasm and your style of writing. And your poetry. May you never be forgotten.

~Dianna

Katyzzz,

You've been a wonderful person to me, welcoming me gladly into the community and posting thoughtful comments. I have always found your posts to cheer me up and I love the artwork. It would not be the same site without you. No matter how dated you may be, but sh, that's our little secret. I think perhaps the fact that you remained was the only thing that pulled me back after David left and I had been busy for a while.

Or maybe it's simply everyone else. But I am going to blame you and your encouraging words, your great writing, and your fascinating pictures. Almost all of which are, indeed, trippy.

Thank you for your warm welcome and lasting support,
~Dianna

Jeanne,

Yup. I'm putting you here. I love your Writer's Notes blog, and while you may never have been very active in commenting on my blog, your blog has been of much use to me. It's an inspiration and it's nice to read about writing from someone who has talent. And I'm glad to see your blog still going strong.

You are a great help to all aspiring writers and I think more of them should read your blog; and I look forward to continuing to read it. I truly do.

Thanks for your amazing work,
~Dianna

To Anyone I Have Forgotten,

I am grateful to all of you who have been supporting of me and my blogging over the past year-and-month-or-so. And I am glad to see new bloggers and support them in any way I can, of course.

What makes Orble such a great blogging site-and the only reason I've stuck with it, truly-is the fact that it is quite simply a wonderful writing community. I will never forget those of you that have impacted my blogging here, and I doubt that I'm leaving anytime soon. The people just keep drawing me back in.

I'm glad to have started blogging here, and I'm glad to have remained here. And I hope that you all continue to read, and to blog, and that you all check out Katyzzz and Jeanne because they have simply amazing and inspiring blogs.

And I'm going to shut up now before I start rambling more than absolutely necessary.

Thank you all for the wonderful year it has been,
~Dianna

Thanks, Dianna.

It wasn't a hint, I just wanted to say hello and congrats

That's s-o-o-o-o very sweet, Dianna!

Thank you so much for those very, very kind words! You've really touched me through the things you've written here, and I appreciate every word.

While I may not have commented here very often--life does indeed get hectic, doesn't it?--I'd like to say that I believe you truly have talent, and I hope you'll never stop writing. If my blog helps inspire you to do that, it will have been well worth it! Keep up the great work!

Jeanne

P.S. Congratulations on your year-and-a-month-or-so of blogging! Hope to see you here this time next year!

Katyzzz,

I'm very very glad to see you liked it

Okay now I'm in shameless plug, simply because of sleep dep, but I have an idea for NaNo (I am NOT obsessive... okay I am) and I need opinions... it's on the other blog....

~Dianna

Jeanne,

I'm glad to hear it. Apparently it's actually more like three months (Read: first post in May), so I might be a little slow on the uptake about that, but I'm glad I noticed within some semblance of time. Sort of.

And I really do love your blog. Thank you again, and again, I'm glad you appreciated it.

~Dianna

Now I miss David

Those are lovely comments, Dianna, I'm sure everyone, including myself, is very appreciative of your words. Well done, I know things have been a bit tough for you, you are very talented.

Katyzzz,

A bit tough is something I'm used to. Been worse than usual this year, but my grandmother once told me that you get one 'year' to do as horribly and suffer as much as you feel like out of high school.

And I'm glad, once again, that people appreciate my comments. I really mean them. *Nodnod*

Damian,

No problem. Glad to hear it.

I post more on the other blog, though, just to let you know; it might be quite a while before I post here again.
