shout out to you, reader

What a ride.

This month I made a decision to revamp this blog after more than a year of dabbling at it. I've enjoyed the process and finished posts immensely. Some highlights from July included:
•  A five-day series about plot development.
•  A farewell to the movie franchise inspired by one of my favorite books.
•  A re-boot of the Project Boy Meets Girl series I planned to write a year ago. We counted down my favorite couples appearing in literature from No. 10-5.
•  Stories from my adventures on the road, which included visits to the birthplaces of Carl Sandburg and Laura Ingalls Wilder.

Thanks to you faithful readers, I've had a record number for pages views, and I've received kind words from many of you. My parents always told me that it didn't matter what others thought of me as long as I was happy and healthy, but any writer knows that positive feedback does wonders for the sol.

So in honor of your continuous support, I wanted to thank all of you for continuing this adventure with me.

I also invite your feedback. Please let me know if you have any reactions to my posts or have tips you would like to share with other authors. You can contact me by leaving a post here or on Twitter @lmchap. You can also subscribe to this blog by clicking on the link on this page.

Thanks again for all you do as a reader. I value your time and look forward to sharing more with you in the future.
