“Don’t say you don’t have enough time. You have exactly the same number of hours per day that were given to Helen Keller, Pasteur, Michaelangelo, Mother Teresea, Leonardo da Vinci, Thomas Jefferson, and Albert Einstein.”

Writer Dad is 100 posts old today. We’ve moved from two digits to three.
I was wondering if I could ask you all for a favor in celebration of our little landmark.
One of the things that has made this blog what it is, has been the constant flow of reader feedback. To this, I am forever grateful. It is you who have pushed my writing far further, and far faster, than it would have flown otherwise.
In lieu of a lengthy post, I’d like to ask that you leave a thought below. I’m requesting one of two kinds; a compliment, or one to grow on. Please tell me what it is that you enjoy about Writer Dad, or what it is you believe I can do better.
I won’t be downstairs today. I’ll read, smile, take notes, etc., but the floor is yours. Please do not be shy. If you’ve never commented before, it only takes a minute. You will need to enter an email address, but no one will ever see it, save for me, and I’m not a collector. If you would like to say something anonymously, you may enter anonymous (or something more imaginative) and use writerdad@writerdad.com as the email address.
Thank you all for everything, and here’s to a hundred more.

Sean,
Happy 100th! My favorite birthday.
My compliment is that I love your honesty. The way your writing seems to reach right into your heart. I couldn’t be reading anyone else. So going forward, that’s how I’d look at each piece. Am I staying honest?
Luckily, I’m sure the answer will be yes.
Regards,
Kelly

Hey WD, congrats on the 100 posts milestone. I won’t even attempt to give constructive criticism, because I think you and your site are amazing and you seem to learn what people want without us having to blurt it out. I do want to say that I truly enjoy your words, your insights and your openness and honesty. I have a lot of feeds in my reader and it often overflows but I always make sure I don’t miss what you have to say.

@Writer Dad
The more I read this post, the more something struck with me.
There are so many bloggers out there blowing their own horn, telling us how great they are, and how we’re idiots if we don’t follow their advice and/or buy their services, etc. etc..
Yet here’s Writer Dad, who’s actually ASKING us for constructive criticism…he wants to know if there’s anything we can suggest to improve his blog.
That’s SUCH a refreshing change. And it speaks volumes about your honesty and how you’re down-to-earth.
That’s what makes me keep coming back here. :-)

Friar,
(No way am I asking you for any constructive criticism. Don’t think he’s starting a trend or anything, nuh-uh.)
Yep. Down-to-Earth describes the writing at WD perfectly. Easy to relate to.
Until later,

Hi Sean: Congratulations on your 100th post! You have a very distinct writing style and it’s always a pleasure to stop by here and read what you penned for the day (that’s sounds like something you’d say, right? :-) ).

Thanks for redefining what a blog can sound like… at times personal, at times helpful, at times whimsical. Always, though, always, well written and engaging.

Hi Sean,
I liked your blog for the quotes and the simple yet very effortless style of yours. Though, I couldn’t read many posts past these several months. I really enjoy reading every post. I want you to share more on parenting; this helps especially me (many others) to take care of my son Mario who is all 9 yrs. old.
Thanks for the great blog and wish you great time!
