I remember clearly the night I created A Vintage Nerd blog. My first blog Bunny's Victory was having major problems and I could no longer log into my account. I remember crying and panicking and realizing that things couldn't end that way. I had to ask myself whether or not I was going to stop blogging or continue ahead. It didn't take me long to realize that I really loved what I was doing and I didn't want to stop. Then suddenly the name A Vintage Nerd popped into my head and I started it that very night.
10 years have now passed since I started and I have really loved every minute of it. Whether a few people see my posts or a lot of people see my posts-it doesn't matter. I am deeply passionate about writing, sharing, learning, teaching, and exploring. And my blog has allowed me to do the things I love to do and connect with others. They say when you are doing something you love that it never feels like work. It is still work-long hours researching, writing, editing, taking photos, reading books and watching films to review, etc but I have relished in every aspect of blogging.
I wanted to have a big celebration to mark my 10 years as a vintage nerd on my blog but I decided to just enjoy the moment quietly. I am grateful to all those who stop by and read my posts. And I am grateful that I get to work on something that I truly love doing. Happy 10 years to A Vintage Nerd blog!
Here are some of my favorite posts from the past 10 years:
Being More Authentic (first post). October 28, 2013
I actually started blogging in 2009, when a game site I played on went down and they had a link to Blogger for updates. The blog I started then led to others. Most of them I have shut down due to lack of interest in continuing them. But I plan to keep my current one, The Midnite Drive-In going. Just discovered yours after the comment you left. I enjoy reading others blogging about movies, too.
