Hey Literators,

I want to shout out a quick “thank you” to your consistent reading and interaction on here. You may have noticed some small changes (as well as larger changes) over the past seven months. Based on your comments, survey answers and click-through, I’ve consistently tried to tweak this site.

Jim Collins calls it the “flywheel” – that giant stone people crank and crank and crrrrank until it gains momentum. At some point when that marble wheel starts spinning a billion miles a minute, people come up and ask, “What’s the one thing you did?”

There’s never one thing. There’s just consistency that pays off in the long run. Though it hasn’t paid off yet, I wanted to thank you for your consistency by showing you how your interaction grew over the last six months:

That’s us on the far right – January 31st 2012. We’re just a’gainin’ momentum here, my people, so I wanted to thank you long before any chance of this site getting any bigger.

You guys were the originals, and I’m grateful to you all. I raise my digital glass(es) to you and to whatever comes next.

♥,

Lancelot
