Two Years Online: Looking Back and Racing Forward · 9:55pm Mar 3rd, 2017
So, this post is the opening of the two-year anniversary post over on my website, celebrating—What else?—two years of it being live on the web. You can jump straight there from this link.
And in other news (which I'm combining with this post for brevity) Tirek is Doomed has been in the feature box for ten days straight! What an upset! Spent a week as the #1 most popular story on the site according to the "Top -This Week" search as well. Woo hoo! Thanks to everyone who read and enjoyed it!
What's that? A special event? You're right!
As of yesterday, Unusual Things has passed its second annual landmark. That's right, as of March 2nd, 2017, Unusual Things is now two whole years old!
Holy cow. Two whole years. Which means that it's been over four years since my first book was released. And maybe three, three-and-a-half since I started writing posts about writing that would transform (or evolve, take your pick) into a weekly series called Being a Better Writer.
But the work hasn't stopped there, either. Since the creation of the site, I've released several new books, completed drafts on a few more yet to arrive, started a Patreon account ... and who knows what all else. I'm probably forgetting a few things.
It's been a busy year. Few years, really.
Anyway, my point is that it's the second anniversary of the site! And you know what that means!
Stats! Oh yes. It's time to dig in and see how the site has done compared to the first year, and how it's doing overall! So, to start—

See the Second-Year tally at the site itself, Unusual Things!
Looks like you had a pretty good year, even if some bits were more interesting than others.
Really cool that you literally got hits from around the globe. (I love opportunities to use the word "literally" correctly, so thanks for that.)
