Six Years
On the urging of ArtemisMad Scientist  , I ventured into the depths of this website on a cool September early morning, six years ago today.
As with anything, lots of things have changed - and lots of things haven't.
A bit of history is in order, I think.
The first item I posted:
The first item of mine to receive an awardicon (from kittiara):
The first story I posted:
| |  | Hermit  [18+] #888034 Ever wonder what the sage does when he's not being cryptic? |
My first entry in "Invalid Item" , where I'm now one of the judges:
My first Merit Badge, for helping Davy Kraken  out with a contest thing:
![Merit Badge in Problem Solving
[Click For More Info]
I never even asked, but he devised a great Excel program for my ACRO*BATICS contest that generates letters for acronyms in a better way than anything I could have ever put together. I am in awe of your technical wizardry, Robert. Thank you.](https://images.Writing.Com/imgs/writing.com/writers/badges/general-Problem_Solving-210.gif)
And my first blog:
Which contains my reaction to becoming a Moderator in 2006:
"Ever have One of Those Days?"
(A note on that blog: At the time, journals were limited to 500 entries, and when you quit using them as a "blog," comments disappeared. When SM changed that policy, the comments reappeared. So some things in my last entry in that book probably don't make much sense, now.)
And, for my final exhibit on Memory Lane, my first newsletter (oddly, Action/Adventure - I later became a regular of Comedy and Fantasy, but not A/A):
"Action/Adventure Newsletter (January 3, 2007)"
As for the future...
Who knows? I might even get off my ass and write.
But first, another beer! |
