10,000 what? 10,000 views!
This is a pretty exciting milestone for me. When I first started A Dribble of Ink, only a couple of months ago, I didn’t really know what I was in for. I knew I wanted to blog, I had a lot of things to say… but would people care enough to listen?
I suppose the answer to that question is “yes”.
I’d like to thank everyone who’s dropped by the blog, and especially those who have seen fit to return again and again! I’d like to thank all the wonderful authors who have stopped by to lend me their time and give all my readers reason to take time form their day to read my blog. So I’d like to give a big shout out to David Anthony Durham, Patrick Rothfuss, Robin Hobb, Joe Abercrombie, Brian Ruckley, and Eldon Thompson; your kindness will not be forgotten.
The first 10k views brought a lot of fun, a few learning experiences and some interesting people around these parts and I can’t wait to see what the next 10k brings!
Eldon Thompson, the author of The Crimson Sword, The Obsidian Key and the upcoming The Divine Talisman, is making waves right now in the entertainment business by having his named attached to the newly announced Shannara movie that is being produced by Warner Bros.. Thompson, best known for his Fantasy novels, is a good friend of mine and agreed to come along to A Dribble of Ink and talk about the movie deal, his novels, writing and a whole lot more.
Brian Ruckley is a name that has been making waves in the UK and Canada over the last year or so. His first novel, Winterbirth was released in October of 2006 and was accepted warmly by fans and critics alike, acclaimed for its gritty storyling, unique characters and realistic setting. This Scottish author is about to catch another big break, Winterbirth will be released this September by Orbit Books in the USA and is sure to see as rabid a reception by US Fantasy fans as it saw in the UK and Canada.
