Today, The Clarity of Night turns two years old.
It has been an amazing, amazing time. What started as a place for the main character in my first novel to stretch his legs became something much more for me. At its core, writing is a relationship between author and reader, and what I came to fear was that I would never truly progress as a writer without real live reader contact. I hope I've entertained you while I've learned. You all have been extraordinary teachers.
Thank you being so open to my ideas and creations. Sometimes I really don't believe that I've been blessed with 138,000 visits these two years. I'm in your debt and will always do what I can to support the writing, reading, and blogging communities.
Last year at this time I said that I only scratched the surface of what I wanted to explore. I feel further along now, but I still have many shadows to chase with my candle before the dawn rises on The Clarity of Night.

Happy Blogoversary.
Cyberspace is a better place because of you. You devote much of yourself to this blog and I, personally, thank you.
WOO HOO your blog turned 2! Yeah, that's as good as my writing gets ;-)
Happy Second Bloggiversary and congratulations on all the things that are in this blog.
Happy anniversary! You certainly potty-trained well... :)
Happy Birthday!! I am really happy to have discovered your blog. Love the photos, the poetry, the fellow bloggers--everything!!
On a more serious note, you can hop over to Jaye's blahg for advice on birthday parties. If she's giving out cake and presents for her child's birthday, I'm not seeing why the same can't be done here. You already have the candles.
Cheers,
;-)

Happy Anniversary, Clarity of Night!
You're doing a fantastic job, Jason, and I can tell you that I've learned a lot just by writing the 250 words piece for your "Halo" contest. I didn't get to thank you for that - I hope it's not too late now.
All the best!
Congratulations, and thanks for the fun you've added to my blogging experience.
Happy anniversary, Jason. I've loved doing the contests and am always thankful of the work you put into a top notch writing community.
Awesome, Jason. It's amazing to see what you've helped create through this blog. I hope inspiration continues to flow for you.
wow dude, you've linked me as a "midsummer dream"! thats so cool, thank you!
Happy Anniversary and thank you for all your hard work in helping us be better writers.
I haven't yet reached my one month anniversary of blogging, but already it feels like a transformative experience, writing alone but knowing there are others, quite immediately, reading my words which would normally collect dust in a drawer and be forgotten.
Happy Bloggy Birthday, Jason. Great stuff.
i believe you've touched many with your blog here.
Happy Anniversary! :)

Thanks for all of your kind words and observations. Blogging has been a wonderful experience, and you've all been a part of it.

Congratulations on The Clarity of Night's second anniversary, Jason.
Happy birthday blogger. A very nice site and I enjoy your photos too.
Thanks, LP, Jeff, and Wynn!
Happy Birthday, Jason. May you tap on the shoulders of those shadows to find yourself.
Happy anniversary, Jason. I've been blogging for just two months and it has been wonderful so far.
Love your blog. Wish I'd found it sooner...
Much appreciated, Mermaid and Wordtryst. :) Thanks for letting me know.
All of the above. This really is a wonderful site. I find it very interesting to hear why people start their blogs. Not everyone mentions that.
...why they start their blog, I mean :-)
