Actually, my blogging habit is three today. I'm just almost two years with typepad.
And this is the 1006th post!!! (Sorry, in the flurry of home improvement updates I didn't note when I hit that overly huge number last week.)
So, in honor of both occasions, a contest that will both celebrate three years blogging as Writtenwyrdd and 1,000 posts on this current blog.
Thank all of you who visit and comment regularly. I feel like I've made some friends here, and I've truly enjoyed our conversations.
THE CONTEST. I'm keeping it simple. Leave a comment, I'll draw a name out of the hat. I'll give it until next Friday for the maximum participation. THE PRIZE. I've got a bunch of hand-screened cards (black on cream) that I made years ago as part of my arts and crafts phase. The winner will get a couple dozen, each individually wrapped (a $50 value). They can be framed as well. I carved the originals in lino blocks and turned the prints into card designs. Various Celtic designs, fantasy designs and pagan designs. (I'll try and get a picture posted later this week.) Meantime, feel free to spread the word.
I feel like you've become a friend through your blog.
I love your take on writing science fiction and I love your Boetha series. I hope we get more of that! I've also got more ideas for submissions from here than from anywhere else I can think of.
It's a very generous prize you're offering. I shall certainly spread the word.

I feel like I've made friends with you, too, via blogging, FHH. And a number of other people, too. It's a lovely community of writerly types!
I need to get back to Boetha. I really love her! But the writing stuff has been on the back burner lately. And I have to finish getting the kitchen redone before my surgery in THREE WEEKS. (Ack!)

Happy anniversary! You're the blogger I strive and fail to be. Your blogging goodness is like a beacon in the 'net to all weary travelers. Here's to a thousand posts more. (btw, I have only 450 in the same amount of time.)
Posted by: Sherri | August 07, 2009 at 08:22 AM
Happy anniversary! I love reading your blog. Have commented a few times, but mostly lurk. 1006 posts is awesome!
Posted by: monnik | August 07, 2009 at 08:41 AM
*comes zooming in* Free stuff? Free stuff!
Happy blogversary! As Sherri said, you're the blogger I aspire to be--but in my case, it's because you keep your contract with the readers and post regularly, whereas I am a lazy wart.
I am genuinely glad to have found your blog, and I look forward to your next 1000! :)

Is it just three weeks now? No wonder you're cracking on.
Posted by: fairyhedgehog | August 07, 2009 at 10:02 AM
Woah, that sounds pretty cool. Put my name in ye olde hat please. And congrats on the anniversary. That's a lot of posts.

Congratulations on your 1000th post and may there be many many many many many more!

Catja Pafort can't seem to comment, so this is a proxy for her comment. :)

grats and way to go, d... i'll post your contest on my page right away :)
Posted by: laughingwolf | August 07, 2009 at 02:24 PM
1,000 posts. Wow. I have no idea how many I have, but it's nowhere near that. Congrats.
And I started coming to your blog before you moved to Typepad, so we've known each other for over two years. How the time flies. :D
Posted by: Sabrina | August 07, 2009 at 04:27 PM
Hurray! Congrats on 3 years and 1,000 posts ! That's just awesome. And I'm glad you are here and planning on staying. :)
Posted by: Sylvia | August 07, 2009 at 06:04 PM
Thanks for all the kind comments. I do tend to be one of those people who can always expound on a topic (whether I know what I'm talking about or not) so this blogging thing has been a lot of fun. Now, I just have to get more fiction writing done!
Posted by: writtenwyrdd | August 07, 2009 at 07:56 PM
Congrats on the milestone and thanks to LW for leading me over here!
Posted by: Megan | August 07, 2009 at 08:34 PM
That's, ummm.... 335 posts a year.
What'd you do those OTHER DAYS????
Posted by: Scott from Oregon | August 07, 2009 at 10:31 PM
Well, I usually give myself Sundays off for good behavior!
Posted by: writtenwyrdd | August 08, 2009 at 06:29 AM
Thanks for stopping by,Megan!
Posted by: writtenwyrdd | August 08, 2009 at 06:30 AM
Wow, Celtic and Pagan? Pretty cool. Maybe for those of us who don't win you could post a photo of one of your favorite cards! On to the next 1,000...

Thanks for stopping by!

It's been long enough I can't recall when I started chatting with whom! :)
Posted by: writtenwyrdd | August 08, 2009 at 09:11 PM
Thanks!
Posted by: writtenwyrdd | August 08, 2009 at 09:11 PM
Mostly I just copied Celtic uncopyrighted designs, but there are a couple of my own, too. I figure some of them aren't going to be too useful for anyone who's not "pagan friendly" though!

Lurking is fine,and thanks for visiting!
Posted by: writtenwyrdd | August 08, 2009 at 09:22 PM
I bet you have more of a social life than I do, lol!
Posted by: writtenwyrdd | August 08, 2009 at 09:22 PM
Thanks for visiting, Scarlet. I'm not sure how educational this blog is, but it certainly feeds a certain bombastacism in my soul!
Posted by: writtenwyrdd | August 08, 2009 at 09:23 PM
Your posts fill up my Google reader like Errol Flynn slipping into a pair of tights.
Quality and quantity is such a rare treat in the blogosphere, so hurrah for you.
Posted by: Whirlochre | August 09, 2009 at 02:51 PM
Happy 1000th!
Posted by: Travis Erwin | August 09, 2009 at 03:26 PM
I am reminded of that old saw about construction: You can have two out of three, quality, speed or cost savings. Or something like that. Got to wonder what's been given up for quantity...
Posted by: writtenwyrdd | August 09, 2009 at 06:05 PM
Thanks, Travis!
Posted by: writtenwyrdd | August 09, 2009 at 06:05 PM
Wow, that's awesome! Happy Blogiversary! (When are they going to make that a real word?)
(Keep me out of the contest, only because I have no room for anything, LOL. I still need to get rid of lots of stuff to make room for Glenn when he gets home! I guess he could walk behind us, LOL...)
Posted by: spyscribbler | August 10, 2009 at 09:31 AM
I want I want I want!!! :)
You still need to collect your prize from my 1000.
Posted by: bets | August 10, 2009 at 12:49 PM
I've been busy, so I hadn't notice during my brief skim of friends' blogs that I'd won anything. Where did I enter? ;)
Posted by: writtenwyrdd | August 10, 2009 at 04:10 PM
That would be a neat trick, a properly trained man... (Just kidding, guys...mostly...)
Posted by: writtenwyrdd | August 10, 2009 at 04:10 PM
Can lurkers enter? Congrats on hitting 1000, posts that is.
Posted by: Deb Smythe | August 14, 2009 at 12:24 PM
Glad to have lurkers, too. Thanks for joining in, Deb!
