This is my 5,000th post. As you well know, it's hard to get me to shut up.
For a while, I was tracking things like how many words I wrote a month. The average was about 25,000, in around 120 posts each month. If that still holds (and it sort of feels like it's in the ballpark), then I've probably written a little over a million words here.
Well, it seemed like a cunning plan at the time.

Congratulations! Looking forward to the next million!! :-)
You should write a book, boss. The "official" length of a novel starts at 50k to 80k, depending on who you ask, and in some genres 100k is a common length. So you've written 10 to 20 books in your career here.
But I don't want to wait a year to read what you've written, so if you want to keep on blogging, please do.
Of all the blogs I know of and visit, there's less than five that I visit "religiously" - or even compulsively - every day. Yours is one.
Congrats!
Congratulations! Write some more.
Thanks, all.
Dave H, I thought about collecting some of this, polishing the rough edges, and putting it out in an eBook. Then I found out that that would be real work. ;-)
It's so nice to see my blogbrother succeed and make something wonderful out of his blog!!
Congrats Borepatch :)
BP: "Then I found out that that would be real work."
But it pays! SF author John Scalzi has published a book of collected blog posts, and I paid real money for it. (Okay, I tried to collect all the posts from his blog directly first, but when that turned out to be too much work I ponied up for it.)
Congratulations, Ted. That's a lot of free ice cream. :)
You think it's something, but you keep using the same words over and over. All these pronouns and articles, you think they should count?
Next... WORLD DOMINATION!
