11 Years Plus…
Twelve Years Ago Bill Trojan Died…
He was a sf and mystery fan, a collector, a hoarder, and a great friend. I spent most of a year taking care of his stuff after he died and settling his estate.
11 years ago on August 1st I started a blog streak, saying something here every night.
11 Years Have Gone By…
I have never missed. Power failures, internet failures, computer crashes, being in the hospital, I never missed a blog. As of today, this is blog 4,030 in a row.
I was 60 years old when I started this. In the last 11 years I have also written about 14 million consumable words.
Kris reminds me just about every day that I need to write something here. She has saved this blog streak many times.
Sometimes what I write I turn into books, sometimes I am pushing workshops or Kickstarters. Might even start pushing at times my own novels. (Shock!)
But I was so busy on August 1st I forgot to make note of the passing of 11 years without missing.
Going for 12… Stay tuned.

Oh, wow. Hard to believe it’s been that long. I remember reading all your posts about Bill, and being sorry for the loss of your friend.
Congratulations on continuing your posting streak, I guess it’s more like a marathon now, eh? 😀

Amazing streak, Dean! I remember when you started, and were a bit like, “I don’t know how long this will last, but let’s see,” lol. And that sure sounded like a rough year taking care of Bill’s estate. Not too long after that someone asked me to be their executor, and your experiences forced me to think long and hard about it. In the end, I had to turn them down because I saw clearly what it would involve.
