I've had an amazing week with traffic, and hits, I wish my adsense was a little better (1000 hits per day and only like 7 clicks the whole week...I need to monetize better).
But adsense and money isn't the end all to success, yes it's great, and someday it will come. The fact that my Readership has grown immensely (1700 new subscribers in one weekend -- *wink wink*.)
My alexa ranking is skyrocketing, and people are genuinely interested in what I have to say.
I was planning on writing a really good post to day on Twitter, what it is, who uses it(a-listers and what not), popular tools, popular web services, etc... Today was just really busy though, with the exception of a small post here and there, I haven't written anything huge today.
Do you ever feel drained - you have ideas but just can't get them finished, at least not in the time frame you want? I dream of the day, when this is my full-time job. Except full-time= 3 hours a day 7 days a week, and the pay is more than I can fathom.
I'm planning a lot of cool articles to come, so please stay tuned. I did sign up for RocketProfit today, a new cool way to monetize. I will give you an update on my findings.
I would also like to thank my friends on twitter / and in the blogosphere in general for making this an awesome community blog, with all the comments, and what not. I'm really excited with all the response, and hope to keep up the momentum.

I'm just (again) getting started and sometimes it feels that way. The long-timers have had an easier time of it, I think, as all of the ways to do things like add traffic came along in the flow.
Those of us that are trying to get heard afresh are having to climb all of those obstacles an integrate all of these things at once, rather than gradually.
Couple that with the difficulty of deciding on ones voice, and what to actually talk about, and it's no wonder you don't see that many new people bursting onto the scene these days.
