Up To Tortoise Now!

Hi Y'all, I am blogging here today to share my progress thus far. Back in June, I wrote a blog entitled: "My Pace, A Snail's Pace." In it, I basically whined about the painfully slow progress I was making due to the lack of that most precious commodity: Time.

While the time that I can spend on my computer each week is still limited, I am happy to say that I think I've kicked up the pace a notch. What used to take me 2 or 3 computer sessions to do, now takes me only one. Where I used to ponder a ludicrously long time over a sentence in my post, I now let the ideas that form in my mind flow freely down to my keyboard typing fingers without looking back until the final proofread.

I've also discovered something else about myself. Whereas I used to cringe with angst at the thought of writing a 1000+ word post with the intention of helping a reading audience with a particular problem, it turns out that I actually enjoy it. And, I'm pretty darn good at it! Most all of my posts have been indexed in Google (though I'm not sure where).

And though I've made the flying leap from snail to tortoise, I am acutely aware that I could never have done any of it on my own. Without the constant assistance, encouragement, and feedback of this close-knit community, I'd still be slothing along, at a standstill, or I'd have quit by now.

So here's a big shoutout to all the ambassadors who've helped me (you know who you are), my WA~BFF Cyndi, all you folks in Live Chat who've answered my dense questions (there's more where those came from), and all you members who sent me spot-on links to tutorials to get me unstuck.

Maybe in the coming months, I'll graduate to Loris!
