Liebster Award

Nominated by Chioma

I've been nominated for the Liebster Award!

As with every other award and tag I've received, I'm honored and extremely grateful to have been nominated for this. The Liebster is one that's been floating around the blogosphere for a fair amount of time, and it's a fun, recognizable tag that has done a great job promoting newer blogs.

A huge thank you goes out to dear Chioma from Blue Books and Butterflies for this sweet nomination. The rules for this thing have only changed about 1,576,112 times since its creation, but here's the version I've received!

Blog of Excellence Award

Nominated by Bella

I was nominated by the lovely Bella of bellas bright bookshelf for an award that is brand-new to the blogosphere: the Blog of Excellence Award. Bella got inspired to create her own award after coming across my Blogger Recognition Award post, and I think that's just awesome! There are plenty of these little things out there, but I still stick to the opinion that there can't be too many!

Post break (July 3 - 9)

Hey there! Time for me to take another short little break while family visits over the weekend. During my break, which will last from July 3rd until July 9th, there will be no new content posted. There's still plenty of stuff for you to check out, though, so don't abandon ship just yet!

So, how about it? Click one of the links below to start exploring!

Take a stroll through my poems

I currently have 40 of them.

Relax and read a few short stories

I currently have 3 of them.

Sink your teeth into Renegade

I currently have 5 chapters published.

Explore my other works

I currently have 6 "Poetic Pictures" posts.

Among other things such as taking a peak at my about page, blog buttons (so many other great blogs you can check out!) etc..

I don't yet know if I'll be available to respond to comments and messages - I may be able to get back to you, but it may be delayed. Still, I'll get back to you as soon as I can!

This would also be a great time for you to let me know if you'd like me to send you a personal thank-you image (mentioned in my post celebrating 10,000 pageviews)! Check out the post here.

10,000 Pageviews!

Woohoo! Edge of Night just passed 10,000 pageviews!

This is just one small milestone in a vast pond of larger ones, but it's a pretty important step in the amazingly fun and grueling journey of any blog.

You start out with nothing - zero hits, zero followers, and, if you were a newbie blogger like myself, zero idea of what you're doing. Those first 10,000 pageviews are some of the hardest to get, and achieving that milestone means that you didn't quit within the first couple of months like so many bloggers do. You've outlasted many others who lost inspiration when they realized how much work it takes, and now the fun can really begin!

It's thanks to each and every one of you that my blog has made it this far. Further on in this post you'll have the chance to receive a little thank-you from me, if you'd like. It's a small gesture, but I wanted to do something to show my appreciation.
