It makes following a numerous amount of bloggers so much easier.<br /><br />Oh really? Wow. Aw. ^ ^ I like making other bloggers smile as well. It makes me sad when I go onto a blog and see no comments on a post. I always have to fix it lol.

I didn't know of many other blogs at first when I started out--I only knew of a few agent/writer blogs, and I was a little too frightened to comment on those. I think. So it took me a while to go from dipping my toes into the blogging world to diving in headfirst and hoping for the best. <br /><br />Ah, you might be the first person I know about who found me through the spotlight. That's exciting. :) And I'm glad you've enjoyed my comments--I like to make other bloggers smile, because why not? Your responses make me smile too. :) Thanks for commenting!

It took me a long time to branch out to other blogs as well. I didn't know many at first.

I'M SO GLAD YOU LOVE MY BLOG, AND I...THANK YOU. I'M SO GLAD YOU LOVE MY BLOG, AND I CAN'T BELIEVE I FORGOT THE CAKE. *bangs head* Thank you for providing the cake--I knew I could count on you. XD <br /><br />Since I mentioned my etiquette issues, I've been learning about a bunch of other people who went through the same thing as well. So I'm glad I wasn't the only one stubbornly ignoring the rest of the blogosphere and wondering why no one would pay attention to me. :P But yeah, it's way more fun to network and comment and all that jazz--looking back, I don't understand why I was hesitant to dive head-first into the blogging world. <br /><br />I was surprised by how well the dystopian posts went over--I should do some more discussions like those. No, I think you're right--I remember commenting on one of your posts (it was the one on getting comments for your blog, actually) and then being surprised/excited when you commented back. <br /><br />Thanks for entering!

AND WERE IS THE CELEBRATORY CAKE? *sprinkles cake crumbs in your hair* I SHALL PROVIDE THE CAKE SINCE IT IS MY MIDDLE NAME. :')<br />And, omg, I hear ya, with the etiquette problems. I used to have that so bad. I literally had no idea why people wouldn't comment on my blog...and there I was neither reading other blogs OR commenting on them. -_- So I think it takes a while for deluded pineapples for me to catch up on those kinds of things, but once you get the hang of it, it's super fun, right!? AND SO MANY AWESOME BLOGGERS TO MEET. :D<br /><br />SO. ENTRIES! :D I loved your dystopian posts (both of them!!) because I'm a sucker for a good discussion. And I actually don't know how I found your blog. o.O I'm 90% certain you commented on mine so I found yours...but tell me if I'm wrong!CG @ Paper Furyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14954615708675952085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7894299613938319589.post-58402755664968280782015-08-30T17:52:51.198-07:002015-08-30T17:52:51.198-07:00Thank you!

I swear, takeout and coffee are the best combo ever. Except maybe chocolate and chocolate. And I totally feel you on not commenting on other people's blogs when starting out -- took me like more than a year to figure that out. *bashes head against wall* Here's to another year of awesome coffee and blogging!Alyssa Carlierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10995554896786109238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7894299613938319589.post-85949087442504546472015-08-28T12:17:36.766-07:002015-08-28T12:17:36.766-07:00THANK YOU. :) I am very glad too, and I appreciate...THANK YOU. :) I am very glad too, and I appreciate that you've been there for so much of it. :) <br /><br />I wondered if you'd maybe seen the link on Go Teen Writers, because I remember you started commenting and stuff shortly after I shared the link there. :P Superheroes are very fun, and I enjoyed writing about a slightly unintelligent, not-very-special superhero. I'm glad you liked it. :) <br /><br />Thanks, and don't worry about responding late--I do that all the time. And college is a very good excuse. I'm moving to Virginia to live with my sister soon, so I can't blame you for your business when I'm busy as well. :PLiz Brookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15823595869843889438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7894299613938319589.post-2458081444397495222015-08-28T06:44:01.317-07:002015-08-28T06:44:01.317-07:00HAPPY BLOGOVERSARY!

I am muy glad that you have come to experience the delights of blogging, and building your own little blogging community here on this lovely forum of discussion. :) <br /><br />Like.... How did I find your blog? I think I might have seen you share the link on Go Teen Writers and then visited and was like, "Ey, I like this business. I'ma follow it." And I suppose the rest is history. I think that "Mind the Revolving Doors" was one of my favorite blog posts this year, just because superheroes are so fun. :)<br /><br />HAVE AN AWESOME BLOGAVERSARY EVEN THOUGH COLLEGE MADE ME RESPOND TO THIS LATE AND I HOPE YOU HAVE A CONTINUALLY JOYOUS BLOGGY YEAR AS IT NEXT COMES! :DHeatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16797485444727976121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7894299613938319589.post-32147443271115744512015-08-27T16:36:41.093-07:002015-08-27T16:36:41.093-07:00:) I can totally see how that might accidently sli...:) I can totally see how that might accidently slip out, especially considering sleep-deprivation. <br /><br />Thank you! I hope the next year of posts won't be disappointing. :P And you're welcome for the comments--I love what I've seen of your blog so far. (Also, I super appreciate the comments over here, too. :P) <br /><br />Yes, and actually, our blogversaries (blog-whatevers) are on the same day--I just posted my celebration early because I keep to a strict Monday and Wednesday schedule. My actually anniversary is today. So, our blogs are twins. (I know the odds aren't great, or anything, but I still think it's funny/cool that we both started our blogs on the exact same day.) <br /><br />Thanks for stopping by!

Well, I'm a firm believer that often pretending you know what you're doing pretty much amounts to the same thing as actually knowing what you're doing. But yeah, the year's gone by really quickly--it doesn't feel like I've been blogging that long. <br /><br />COFFEE IS THE MOST AMAZINGEST THING EVER. I get so sad when they're no coffee on hand. And thank you! I'm glad you like it. I think Learning to Fangirl is what made me want to write book reviews, and I think it's helped me appreciate stories more. I'm glad you liked it too. :) <br /><br />I think you might have found me through Heather? (I'll still count it as an entry, since you at least tried to remember. :P) Haha, yeah, I should do an about page soon--I've been thinking about adding a few pages, but I'm still bouncing around ideas. Maybe you'll see something in a week or two. It's less about me trying to be mysterious or anything, and more about not really knowing what to say. :P <br /><br />Thanks for entering! :) Liz Brookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15823595869843889438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7894299613938319589.post-78217089222753709202015-08-26T23:52:12.268-07:002015-08-26T23:52:12.268-07:00YAY YOU! :) I can't believe you've been go...YAY YOU! :) I can't believe you've been going for a year! You seem so on to this whole blogging thing :)<br /><br />Coffee is amazing, am I right?! I wouldn't function without it. And your blog is amazing too :) Learning to Fangirl: Confessions of a Part-Time Vulcan is defiantly one of my favourites. <br /><br />To be honest, I can't remember how I found your blog, but it was probably through a link on someone else's blog. I can remember my first time landing on your 'home' page because I instantly looked for an about page, but there wasn't one :) <br /><br />I don't use Google+ anymore, so here's my blog email :) opalswirls@gmail.com Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7894299613938319589.post-88985838511900420052015-08-26T19:43:22.229-07:002015-08-26T19:43:22.229-07:00Thanks!

And it really is--I'm not even sure why, except that I guess it means I've survived this long. :P And thanks, I appreciate that--it actually might be beneficial for me to read all my old posts and see how I've changed and grown. And you're totally welcome--I love you're blog, and you're coming out of the gate way stronger than I did. *salutes you* <br /><br />Ooh, thank you for the mention. :P I wondered if you found me through Heather--I think half my followers and page views and comments have come through her promoting me. I feel like I should probably pay her. XD I'm glad you liked my pep talks and Uses for Books and The Inner Editor's Monologue (and don't worry if you don't remember specifics--there won't be a quiz or anything). Uses for books was actually one of those posts that I threw together in a mad panic because I had know clue what to write. Actually, come to think of it, all my favorite posts have come about that way. <br /><br />Thanks! I hope I do too. :P And yes, the giveaway is international. Sorry I didn't mention that--I'll add it to the post so there won't be any more confusion. (I knew I was forgetting something.) Thanks for pointing it out. :) And thanks for entering!

I basically just decided to pretend I knew what I was talking about.) And thanks--I'm glad you enjoy reading it. And don't worry about not-commenting often--I can be horribly scatter-brained or busy or just not in the mood or whatever, so I'm often not on top of things like commenting on other people's blogs. Take your blog, for instance--I love it, and every post is marvelous, but I've commented like, what, five times? *shakes head at self* And you're totally welcome--people should know about your blog. :) <br /><br />Happy blogversary to you too!
