Helping writers become bestselling authors

Holy Batman…10,000 hits!!

Published: July 10, 2008 by BECCA PUGLISI

I can’t believe how quickly we reached this fantastic landmark. When Becca and I started the Bookshelf Muse back in January, we were hoping to reach out to other writers, share what we knew and in turn, learn from others. Never did we think that our tiny little blog would grow so fast and fabulously!

Our most heartfelt thanks go to all the Musers who stop in at The Bookshelf Muse to read our blog. We appreciate all the comments, insight and encouragement. Together, I think we have all found a place to grow. Both Miz Becca and I are looking forward to the future will hold!

To celebrate this way-cool achievement, I’d like to announce that our Muser Pema has won a free 1st chapter critique for being the last Muser to comment before we hit 10,000!

    Ack! I missed this! How did I miss this??

    Congratulations, Angela and Becca! That’s amazing that you’ve gotten so many hits in such a short time frame. But not surprising, really, because you’ve got a great blog. 🙂

    And congratulations Pema on winning the critique! You’re in good hands. 🙂

    Congrats, Pema! And thanks, everyone who pops in to keep us company. I’m a little late to this party due to craziness in my own life (juicy details to follow in an upcoming post) but I’m very excited about this. Thanks for making it happen!

    Yay Bookshelf Muse! Won’t be long before it’s 50k, then 100k, then 500k and then… a mill. 🙂
    (And I can totally believe how quickly you reached 10k!)

    Thanks everyone for all your support! Vijaya, we appreciate everyone who visits us! Everyone has just been so great, keeping with us throughout the ‘growing pains’ of a new blog–this has certainly been a wonderful experience.

    Hip, hip, hooray! Congratulations on a fun, useful and interesting blog. It’s hard to get all three at once, but you’ve managed.
