One thousand! One grand! 1,000! 1k! A G! M in roman numerals!
Facts about the number 1,000:
– The year 1,000 started on a Monday on the Julian calendar
– The ancient Egyptians represented the number 1,000 as a lotus flower
– The 1,000th richest person in the world is worth just over a billion dollars.
– 1,000 years from now we may finally have flying cars no for real this time.
Also:
This here is the one thousandth post on this blog! And there’s only one thing to say, which is THANK YOU VERY MUCH SERIOUSLY THANK YOU for reading, for commenting (I have read all 110,575 comments), and making this whole blogging thing so much fun for me.
And in honor of the thousandth post, I thought I’d give ONE THOUSAND QUERY CRITIQUES FOR COMMENTERS! Oh. Wait. Got that reversed.
Let’s try that again:
THE ONE THOUSANDTH COMMENTER ON THIS POST GETS A QUERY PLUS FIRST FIVE PAGES CRITIQUE! Which can be done over e-mail at the commenter’s convenience.
Will we get to 1,000 comments? Well, I’m not sure…. But then again, I didn’t ever think I’d get to 1,000 posts either.
Thanks again everyone! Looking forward to 1,000 more.
Well, let me be the first to say — congratulations, Nathan!
Congrats on 1000 posts!
Let me help things along with this comment.
La La la's are a perfectly acceptable strategy, by the way.
And how many of those posts were on rhetorical questions?
Congratulations! I'll check back in at 999. Ha.
La la la
LOL – I wonder if people are holding off commenting because they want to be the 1000th…anyway, congrats and here is a post to get you one step closer to your mission!
Lots and lots of rhetorical questions I think?
you realize you use blogger, don't you? stupid captcha 1000 times?
Huge congrats! I'm usually a lurker but this was huge. Very generous of you.
Congrats Nathan! Thanks for all the awesome and helpful posts!
It's also the 1000th anniversary for the city of Ha Noi, Viet Nam. All good things come to those who hit 1000. 🙂
Potent prolific posting, Batman!
And I think with an offer that sweet, you won't have any trouble at all getting to a thousand.
1000! Half way to Y2K!
Congrats on 1000 posts! Hopefully we can get you to 1000 comments too!!
Congratulations on 1000 posts! 😀
Well done and thank you for all of the knowledge that you passed on through all of the prior posts. Here is to another 1000.
You know you're wrong about the flying cars. In 3010, people will look back on this blog entry and laugh at us all.
Congratulations!
^_^ Nice sense of humor. Grats on the 1k posts – hell, I doubt I can make 250, so to me this is monumentous. The few posts I've read so far have been pretty damn interesting, so good luck with the next 1k.
Wow! 1000…that's a whole lot of well written witticism that makes many upon many people like me chuckle out loud while they're being kept informed. Congrats!!
Forget the flying car. I'm still waiting on my hover board.
Congratulations!
I'll help–la la la.
We can comment more than once, yes? XD
Oh yes, multiple comments is probably the only way we'll get there.
Congratulations, Nathan.
that works out as one good average you have there 🙂
LA LA LAAAAA
Way to go! Let's move this along so I can be 1000. 🙂
You know, I build automated web interaction programs for a living. I could get us to 1,000 posts in minutes flat …
Considering.
Comment more than once, ingenious.
La, la, la, la, la…
Congratulations!
Bananas are cool.
There once was an agent named Nathan… who…
Who…
..yeah, I got nothin'.
Wow, congrats!
Let's hold a second contest: Guessing the exact time of the 1,000th comment. I'm being optimistic, and guessing 1:13 PM. Any other guesses?
It would be helpful if monkeys chimed in…
Just sayin'.
I will definately be watch this post! Congratulations!
CV
Only 36 comments so far? I'd think people would be totally all over this by now.
Figured I'd help the writers out.
Congrats, Nathan!
John O would that be EST or PST?
Hmm…lalalas are perfectly acceptable, you say?
Spamming this thread is clearly the only solution to get us to 1000. *cracks knuckles and begins to spam*
Or Mountain? Almost forgot about those folks in Colorado and such…
Congratulatuons! I live in Korea so maybe when I wake up it will be closer to 1000 posts.
YAYYYYY it's a comment party!
la la laaa

@His Lobster — PST. We're on Nathan-time today.
BTW, want to add a time guess: Post this into your comment, and add above or below as needed.
JohnO: 1:13 PM PST.

Congrats Nathan, yes, a real milestone. Whoo hoo and all that jazz.
Baba da boopie?
I hope Peter Griffin's nonsensical jibberish is all right too.
Grats, Nathan!
congrats on 1000 posts, Nathan! here's to a million more 😀
How about a little, doo whaa, doooo whaa.

I'll add one to the count.
mmmmmm bop
I know! Lets ask questions about current blogging preferences of Nathan! *nods* Dyou use the blog ideas list? are they completely spontaneous? Give info!
I see you're at comment number 41. So I'll be checking in to comment periodically. But yes, 1,000 blog posts is definately something to be proud of! Congrats!
Mazel tov!
adding one more …
I want a hoverboard, too.
Blah blah blah
I want a robot that gives hugs. (k, going to stop spamming now.)
Well wow! Congrats on the 1000th post! I felt like The Shiz when I got to 100 posts. 🙂
@JohnO – Yeah that's what I figured but just wanted to be specific. 😉 And sure! I'm game for a side wager…
BTW, anyone interested in adding a time guess: Post this into your comment, and add above or below as needed.
JohnO: 1:13 PM PST.
His Lobster: 2:23 PM NBT (AKA PST)
How about that football game last night?
This is my spam. I sell nothing, but I contribute to the 1000 comment goal. Woo ha!
Congrats, Nathan!
What should I comment about?
Orange rules! I think I'm here offering the 59th or so congrats, sir, to be followed by multiple la la la's. 🙂
congrats nathan! this is going to be a fight to the death when we get close to 1000…
Why, whatever you want Shawn! You could comment on the various effects of multiple personalities for example.
For extra posts, a question. Nathan, what is your stance on Dr. Pepper? A fan? A hater? Do you prefer other beverages?
Ahh, quite right you are, Shawn. Quite right. Want to start us off with some starting points?
If this were television, techno music would begin playing and I'd craft an algorithm in less than 60 seconds that would simultaneously post 930 posts.
CURSES!!!
Oh, no, why don't we let others speak first.
Huzzah! Hurrah!
Here's to a googolplex more.
Wow – congrats! And thanks for being a daily voice of reason in the publishing blogosphere.
*hops in on comment party* Yay! Congrats on 1000 posts. That's brilliant.
🙂
Congrats, Nathan!
Busy here. Programing my time machine to land on comment 1000.
Engage…
Ah… just what I love love love. A green light to be a commenter like an energizer bunny.
I am in!
Renee-
I do like the Dr. Pepper but am more of a Coca Cola Classic guy when it comes to the popular soda brands, and more of a Vanilla Cream when it comes to specialty types. How about you?
Would it be obnoxious of me to congratulate you 927 times?
Yeah, I suppose it would.
Congratulations, anyway.
You Rock Mr. Bransford….I'll come back and post this about 800 times…
Congrats on 1,000 posts! This is one of my "must read" sites. Love it!

Maybe we could use our time trying to beat out each other for the 1,000th response to do something productive — since you've been good enough to offer us 1,000 produtive posts, Nathan. For example, we could each suggest a word we should all try to avoid using because it's either grossly overused or incorrectly used most the time.
What's the takeaway? There you go — how about TAKEAWAY? Are we sick of that one yet? 🙂
-p.
This could break the Internets…
Congratulations on 1000 posts, Nathan! Love the blog, it's been a huge help. Thank you.
What goes around…
aw, congrats on the big number! Love your blog.
I was introduced to your blog by Cherry Cheva, a writer for the television series Family Guy.
That was about 6 months ago, and I've learned so, so much since then.
Thanks for the 1000 posts, and here's to 1000 more, and then some!
And you're awesome!
…comes around.
Congrats on 1000 posts that made me a better writer. Thank YOU!
And I can't wait to read your book.

I have a great interview with "Jerry, the Marble Faun" at marjorie-digest.
Congratulations!!!
Yep, really looking forward to picking up a copy of Jacob Wonderbar! Will it be available in the UK?
Congratulations, Nathan! I'm sure we can get you 1,000 comments on this post. 🙂
I like Diet Coke with a sploosh of Dr. Pepper — an odd habit acquired in my days as a brown-uniformed fast food slave.
susan-
Well, almost all. I sort of lost track for a while there on the first Be An Agent for a Day.
thanks for your thousand blogs! I have learned a lot through you. ^_^
Congratulations, Nathan!
Brian-
Yeah, it should be!
Does sploosh count as a word that should be banned? 😉 Is it a word?
I don't think you should dare your readers like this, Nathan. It's bound to happen.
@Mia-I love the guy and the shark… 🙂
I'm rather in a celebratory mood today 'cause yesterday I finished my WIP.
So here's some more excitement feelers going out to you, Nathan!
Congrats Nathan! Love this blog.
Ok, if you guys want to go relax, I'll take care of the next 800 or so comments…
Maybe I'll just comment every hundred!
Congratulations!
I think I am #1000 if we are using some strange number base. Everyone else, you're out!
Oooh, now it's getting good.
Oooh, not to mention all the excitement that's gradually building up for NaNoWriMo.
(Say what you will, it's still stinkin' fun whether or not it produces good novels or not.)
God you guys had to mention coke classic… that's horribly evil. I'm dealing with coke-withdrawal atm, and is not fun. On a serious note, though. I really have enjoyed the posts I've read, though I've only been reading a week or two…
The post needs more controversy to push the comment count up
e.g.
All of your political, philosophical, and moral beliefs that differ from my own are incorrect! The authors that you like, that I do not, are also evidence of your questionable taste! Your beverage choices are also questionable at best!
Congratulations, Nathan! I'm sure we can get you 1,000 comments. 🙂
Nathan, I asked this in a previous post but I think it got lost, and I might as well ask it again now that we're killing time! Do you see any downside to publicly posting a query/pages for critiques? Do agents look at these things and would it negatively impact your impression if you later get that submission?
untitlement –
Yes, I think SPLOOSH certainly counts. 🙂
In the future, I want a device that will let me communicate over long distances even when I'm not at home.
And by "future" I mean later on today. I really need a replacement cell phone.
Congrats! Here's my contribution toward one thousand comments. I may come back later.
I'm pretty sure I've consumed 1,000 cups of coffee while reading your blog. 🙂
I'm trapped in an ATM vestibule with Jill Goodacre!
Wow, in the two seconds it took to get from reading the entry to commenting, you went up 8 comments. At this rate, you should totally get there.
Anyway, congrats, Nathan! The truth is, your blog is just a lot of fun to read. You talk about relevant things in a fun and clever way, and you're good at making me laugh. That alone wins you points in my book. 😀
Seriously, though, thanks to you for putting the time and dedication into something like this.
Lalalalalalalalalala
Thank you for 1000 great posts. I've learned so much. Thanks.
joseph-
Definitely the books for me. I watched the movies first (horrors, I know), then read the books, then went back and watched the movies and spent my time shouting THAT'S NOT WHAT HAPPENED THERE.
The movies are great though, I can't imagine them doing better, it's just that it's virtually impossible to beat a great book.
What do you think?
Congrats 🙂
Congratulations, Nathan. And thank you a thousand times over for all the excellent advice and support you give to us struggling writers.
Oh, and about that flying car … start saving your Jacob Wonderbar advance: http://content.usatoday.com/communities/driveon/post/2010/09/flying-car-production-could-start-within-three-months/1
One thousand is a large number! Congrats!

I find the words we have to type for verification very interesting.

Wow – 1000 posts? That's….alot.
That's such an enormous amount of work you put into this blog – building this comprehensive resource for authors.
Thank you seems paltry – but thank you!!
Brad Womack is the new Bachelor.
Seriously.
What year is it??
I wonder how many actual posts there have been if you deduct the number of times a post has been re-posted.
Not that I'm against re-posts. Being reminded of certain things again and again is needed.
Congrats!
I love to read your blog. It's very helpful. Thanks for writing it!
Erin
Wow, and up another 11 in the time it took to write that. 🙂
Really I'm just writing now to bump it up a few more notches. I'd love to see this thing hit 1000. Have you ever gotten that far before?
Hey Nathan, how'd your search for Joe M. go last night?
What are your plans for the next 1,000 posts, Nathan?
What if I don't want to comment?
Oh, damn.
ps. For fun, people should add their word verification so we can see who gets the weirdest one. Mine was "borty."
Congratulations, and many thanks for your helpful, thought-provoking and interesting blog!
Bravo on 1000 – keep up the good work! There, see, that's not a rhetorical question 🙂

Did anyone else see the movie, THE TOWN this weekend?
I did.
It was bloody good, I say, and I might even see it again. I like Boston accents and violence, yes I do!

No movie could be better than a book in my opinion unless the book just isn't very good.
You open the door, take out the giraffe, shove in the zebra, and shut it.
Looks like I'm 189th comment but I'll be back! I need you!!! Thanks for all the great stuff, loving it.
Also, Congrats to Nathan on a one thousandth post and whoever wins the giveaway.
Thanks for all you do, Nathan. Your blog – and now forums – continue to be one of the best industry resources on the Web.
CONGRATS!!!! WOOO!!!!!!WISHING YOU A CANDYLAND KIND OF DAY (IN ALL CAPS)!!!
Ok, so the Lion King is calling a meeting of all the animals in the animal kingdom. The monkeys are there, the alligators are there, etc.
But one animal is missing. Which one is it?
Congrats! 1000 posts! I am impressed, but then, I'm easily impressed. 🙂
ariane-
No, I don't really see the downside. People say you're going to have your idea stolen, but I think that risk is pretty overblown, and I think the benefit of getting feedback outweighs the risks.
So, first of all, the most important thing. I cut my hair. I cut over 2 feet and donated it to Locks of Love.
The moment after it was cut, I was like: OMG, PUT IT BACK ON.
Now, I love it. It freedom. I get up, wash it and ta la! It's done. It's sort of frizzy, though. I wish it would sit down and lay flat.
Your blog is rapidly becoming my favourite.
Ok, so you're at a river that you absolutely have to cross. It's shallow enough to walk through but alligators live there.
There are no bridges or boats. How do you get across?
Now the real question is… how many drafts was that to hit 1000 posts!
Congratulations
Just trying to help out with some posts, here.
Oh… and La La La! 🙂
You just walk across, of course! All the animals are at the animal kingdom meeting.
Oh… and La La La! 🙂

Dude, I'm so going to get nothing done today lol. Maybe I'll check back in fifteen minutes and see how far we've gotten. 😉 Goodness knows I've got editing to do.
Seeing as I'm in the UK and 12 hours ahead of SF time….does that give me an advantage or a disadvantage?
Will I be tucked up in bed as the commenting rages on?
Only time will tell….
Congrats and doing my part to bump Mr. or Ms. 1000 to the lucky number!
Congratulations, Nathan! That is so fantastic! And, well, fantastic for all us readers because it means you've written 1,000 pieces of helpful information for us!

But that's not new. Everytime I had a paper last year, I decided to quit grad school. Then I wrote the stupid paper.
It's alittle hard to be proud of the fact that you are an indecisive quitter, but I sort of am.

Ermo said: "…No movie could be better than a book in my opinion unless the book just isn't very good…"
True. Two movies that are WAAAY better than the book?
1) The Bridges of Madison County
2) The Notebook
This is why screenwriters are important.
Reesha, you climb a tree, grab a vine and swing across? Or you use your previously unmentioned superpowers to leap across?
Boo
It's time to leave a comment I know,
I'll get right to mine, here I go,
This looks like fun, I'd say, "wow, and",
More talk, on our way to a thousand…
(Oh, man – that was lame. *head hits desk*)
Boo who?
Congratulations Nathan on your 1,000th blog post. Is this the only blog you have in the net?
Wait – Reesha, which one was missing from the Lion King? You never said.
No need to cry, it's only a joke!
"Vote for Pedro," LOL!!!!
And congrats, Nathan! I thought the 1000th post was too huge of a thing to just comment on FB.
Why do elephants paint their toenails red?
Oh – I saw it. Never mind. Ha, ha.
Holy Wow – at this rate, you'll be at 1000 in the next fifteen minutes.
I thought it would be smart to subscribe to the comments, so I could track them from my inbox.
Boy was I wrong. Good thing GMail threads messages!
Won't it be ironic if the 1000th comment is spam?
To hide in the cherry trees, of course!
Have you ever seen an elephant in a cherry tree?
No?
They hide pretty good, don't they?
(I can just see Nathan twitching from all these rhetorical questions.)
I predict many short, repetitive comments involving taking up space.
La..la…la…
Congratulations, Nathan :-). And thank you. I'm quite aware that we're the main beneficiaries of the time and thought you put into those 1000 posts.
Also, fabulous job at the Writers' Conference this weekend. I rabidly enjoyed your workshop, your encouraging forecast that the publishing world is not going to hell, and your personality. Even if I didn't get to wear my orange shirt. 😉
Another movie better than the book is Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust. Way better, with more meaning packed into it.
Mira, LOL on being an indecisive quitter.
1000 posts!!!
Wow, you could write a book. 🙂

Congratulations! I'm in the low 200's so I'm not in the running. Yet. I'm formulating a plan in which my minions bring the comment count to 999, which crashes the server and leaves me free to be the first to comment when it comes back up.
I'm still working on some of the details, like the minions, the server crash, and me being the first one to comment when it comes back up.

Haven't even heard of it. I might go see Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps, though.
Not a huge fan of Oliver Stone, but I do like Michael Douglas and was sad to hear of his throat cancer. Though I read he has an eighty percent chance at a full recovery, so that's good.

Nathan, will "Jacob Wonderbar" have the same cover in the US and the UK? And, did you have any say in your cover (or… did I miss that post and if so, pigs must have been flying because I try to never miss a post, but sometimes life is funny)
Fish!
I just tried to comment and it said "service unavailable."
Nathan, you're breaking the blogger system.
You write at HuffPo sometimes? I didn't know that.
OK I left my comment. Wow, a 1000 posts!
This is fun, but I definately foresee not getting a thing done this afternoon!
Adele –
Jack?
Yes, Brad Womack will be the "new" Bachelor. Why? No idea. They were supposed to announce it last night on Dancing with the Stars.
Actually, this would be a great time to go for comment of the week, you get unlimited tries. Quick, somebody say something humorous and witty, while at the same time inspiring and wise!
Nathan,
Do you know how many of the 1,000 were guest posts?
Although I know it doesn't matter. I'm just trying to help inflate the comment count. I'm a team player.
WORD VERIFICATION: dexess. The result of watching too many consecutive episodes of DEXTER.
Gotta help the comment count along … watermelon, watermelon, watermelon …

I wonder if there will be enough time to eat lunch between now and post number 900ish?
la la la …
ann m-
Not sure yet on that.
Reesha–step on the alligators? They're not that bright… 🙂
307 bottles of beer on the wall…
Ok this is all working out quite well for me so far, if I sit here for another hour we'll all have seen the New Year in together. I mean, 1000th comment…
300!!!
Hey, I have an idea. When the comments get near 350, I'm going to practice to try and get the 350th post!
(If you all join in with me, it'll be more like the real thing.)
"We're gettin' the band back together" Morgan Freeman in RED
Retired Extremely Dangerous is RED…looks to be Hi-Larious! Can't wait. John Malkovich has some of the funniest lines!
Nathan- I missed the game due to Hawaii Five-O…solid start to the series IMHO.
Did I mention what a good job you do? Pretty sure I did, but just in case – Keep up the great work!
That's the same as LaLaLa, but more impressive by far…
Well, either way, it's an awesome US cover!!!
Mira-
I used to have long hair, too. Seriously. When I got it cut short, my mom cried (tears of joy).
Shawn – The alligators are gone at the animal kingdom meeting, so you can just walk across.
Once there was a guy named Nathan…
3rd of the way there already!
One fine day
Congratulations.

37 were guest posts. Ha!

Are you regretting your commitment to read all comments yet?
maine character, I love your picture!

Is anyone else getting an error message when they try to log onto the Rotten Tomatoes website?
After seeing the kick-ass THE TOWN movie, I wanted to look up its reviews but can't.
Is it just me?
mixing vanilla and chocolate ice cream at a ratio of 2:1 and stirring it up makes my favorite flavor.

I wonder if there's a way to make this scroll back automatically to the post I left off on when I hit "refresh."
How funny, my word verification is "persons." A random and yet real word. Woohoo!
anon-
No way, this is pretty entertaining.
they faced each other
drew their swords
La…
I separated my "las" for dramatic effect. Did it work?
I was thinking about writing a book about a girl in a love triangle with a vampire and a werewolf – what do you guys think?
and shot each other
Funny quote from my kid: "I want apple juice, but I don't want to drink it."
Oh so sad. I have to go work for alittle bit. My boss tracks my internet usage. It's like he doesn't trust me.
Smart guy.
I hope I don't miss it all.
I predict it will reach 1000 by 12:45 p.m. That's about an hour from now.
Adele – shooting swords? I want one!
this is a bit like being stuck in a lift
Does he want to put the apple juice up his nose?
I mean, what does one do with apple juice if not drink it?

Ermo, enough with the vampires, you are better than that.
I think.
This is far too much fun.
or elevator
Ugh – stupid blogger kicked me out.
I see more of a Tom Cruise thing… Maybe it's generational…
Congrats on your 1000th post!!! That's quite a feat!
So are the Americans looking forward to the new season of Glee tonight?
Wonder if I can be #350… cmon lucky comment system!
Ermo – Hmmm, that will probably only work if you give it some SHIZAM, you know? Like. Hmm, cover the wolf in glitter? OH WAIT. MAYBE THE VMAPIRES SHOULD SPARKLE.
Wait. Wait. NOBODY is going to let you do that. No way.
Nathan, you rock! Thanks for the brilliant blog.
Nooo!
If you win the contest yourself, Nathan, don't be too hard on your query…
Rick – funny! 🙂
>pauses and considers small talk options<
Just commenting to get you closer to the big 1k!
Congratulations, Nathan! And might I add: Thank you for all the informative postings I've seen here on my "lurkings".
And my "verification" is: "bazin" which I *am* most certainly.
This is awesome.
j.t. shea-
I will most definitely rip it to shreds.
I just completed an exhaustive study and reached the conclusion that all of the la comments can be sung to the tune of "Hey Jude"
WORD VERIFICATION: enate. The online presence of one Nathan Bransford.
* VAMPIRES not vmapries
>shuffles feet, clears throat awkwardly<
Wow, these are going quicker by the minute.
Aw. I tried to practice for the 350th comment, but when I did I got an error. Figures. Well, at least it didn't happen on the actual 1000th post.
Ahem — is anyone else getting error messages when they go on the Rotten Tomatoes website?
Hello? Hello?
Reesha–I think it's going to be a crapshoot. In the amount of time it's taken me to write this post–
You're right, Nathan. It's quite entertaining. But I should probably be writing. The next chapter in my book will start with La la la.
Adele – yes, yes, yes – I love Glee! First episode is tonight!
must…drag…myself….away
I swear, I could do all 1000 comments on my own.
Also, if the 1,000th is an anon without contact info it goes to the 1,001, etc.
Trying for 370…..and Go!
Wonders if Nathan is now scared I am stalking him after my Tom Cruise comment…
Multiple POV in one novel — like or dislike?
w00t! I got it!
Amy –
Sparkly Vampires = Pure Genius.
Love your blog! It is hands-down the most helpful blog for aspiring authors. But here's the big question: is it helping you? You are definitely giving back to the community and doing a good deed daily, but business-wise, do you see your blog as rewarding?
Is there a pool for when the 1000th comment is reached?
How many writers does it take to change a lightbulb?
I can see Luke Wilson…not so much Tom Cruise though. And yes, Nathan, you may take that as a compliment. Tom just kind of lost a little something when he married Katie. I think it was respect…
Ben Affleck has never been a sure thing as an actor. As a director, he's a solid two for two. — Film Critic.com
–eight more people have replied. 😛
Anyone seen the new SyFy movie trailer? Sharktopus! I can tell from the name alone that I must see this atrocity. 😀
GAH! I can't check my query gmail account without logging out of my blogging account! I might have a manuscript request and I can't check!!! *breaks into sobs*
Six. One to change it, five to offer well-meaning critique on how it could have been done better.
Untitlement –
I've been pondering this one a lot lately.
I read J.K. Rowling who was pretty good at a single point of view for the most part.
I also read Eoin Colfer who jumps around in several different point of views.
I suppose whichever one you think you are able to do the best. Sometimes, like in a mystery, you don't want multiple point of views because then the clues are given away too early.
Did I forget to add: "La La La" ???
And now… I'm "decula". "Ahhh… the children of the night… they make such… *music*."
I'm going to sign in with a friend's account and click on "e-mail follow up comments."
He's always saying he wants mail.
Good-bye lunch and blogging…happy comment posting to lucky #1000
I can't hit my refresh button fast enough.
We should do a group story via comments: pickup the tale where the previous commenter left off. Any takers? 😛
Did everybody Talk Like A Pirate on Sunday, and, if not, why not?
folksinmt-
I definitely think it's helpful to me. I've learned a lot and just about all of my clients found me through the blog.
everyone's gonna make a mad dash when 999 gets here and the site's gonna crash! O_O
umaushli – why can't I get real verification words?
Aha! Luke Wilson….ah yes, I see that too….
Does posting with my name like this instead of signing in via google make me out of the running, then? I just use this name since it matches my forum name. 😉
Thanks, Katzie – your picture's cool, too!
@Rick Daley – ROFL!! You got some tears with that one buddy!! Nice work!
Not that I'm not enjoying reading other people's messages – it's fun.
I'm never leaving. I'm going to stay here, and when my boss asks me why I was on the internet for 3 hours I will say it was for something EXTREMELY IMPORTANT.
Then I'll refer him to you, Nathan, to back me up. Don't forget. You're supposed to say: it was EXTREMELY IMPORTANT. Not that it was just, um, EXTREME.
my last word verification was a racist slur – true story
This post went up at 10:51 am. California time. It’s now 3pm EST, which would make it…noon in CA? So that’s 400 comments in 70 minutes, so you should be at 1,000 at about 1:45pm. Unless my timezones are all screwed up.
Congrats! Is there like a club key that elite bloggers who get to 1,000 posts get to schmooze with other elite bloggers?
"…Also, if the 1,000th is an anon without contact info it goes to the 1,001, etc…"
Well… okay, then. I'll work on my ms instead of making like a hundred more posts, but good luck to whoever wins! 🙂
Hi Nathan! I can't believe you're reading all these!
verfication = achlegue
Glee, Glee, Glee…so tell me all….what rumours abound about this new season? I hear there's a Britney tribute…
Helping along the comments while I go through a scholastic leaflet with my preschooler.
Serious question, Nathan, around #400 here — have you found it a struggle at times to balance the time the blog takes with your other work?
-p.
My wife insists that Katie Holmes was too young to idolize Tom Cruise as a kid like she claims.
Woo hoo a contest! What…this is only the 300 to 400's in comments? Only 600 more to go!
. . . and everyone, a gem. Congrats!
I heard Cher was going to make a guest appearance on Glee.
I just got ERROR 503 (or 304 – IDK)
reader-
I mean one without an identifier. As long as you're not just an anonymous anon.
Congratulations! (And I'm not even trying to increase your comments, btw. Totally legit.)
I haven't watched Glee and somehow I feel this makes me un-American. Maybe it's because the only TV I have is Netflix.
Hey, let's all post what time it is in our time zone!
I'm at 2:00PM
la la la la llama.
Nathan:
What's an acceptable range for word count on an Upper MG novel, in your opinion? (As long as we're wasting time here…I tried to think of something other than LA LA LAing the Survivor theme song and quoting Waiting for Guffman.)
(Though brace yourself for quotes. I may resort to that soon.)
🙂
porter-
No, haven't found it to be a problem. I know it seems like I'm on here all day, but except for right now (and it's lunch time), it doesn't take as much time as one would think. I spend about a half hour writing each post and another half hour reading the comments. So just an hour a day. Plenty of time.
Katzie, giving you a high five for the awesome Edward.
clp333 I don't know about a club key, but I'm sure there's a password, or at least a secret handshake.
Is there a pool for what time the 1000th comment is going to be posted? If so, how do I get in on it? 😉
And if this shows up more than once, it's because blogger hates me… I keep getting errors…
3:02pm… we have to hit 1000 before I have to leave work, or I'll miss it on the commute!
kayla-
I'm not a word count stickler, so I don't think there's an upper range.
With all these posts, will your ranking improve?
Cheeky – ha!
Maine Character – that's evil.
So, I'd usually be taking a nap right about now. That's the other thing my boss monitors. How many naps I take at work.
I am an EXEMPLARY employee.
I think Glee started out better than it ended up, to be honest. There were a couple of episodes that disappointed. (The Olivie Newton John one was one, for example.)
Noon here.
I predict the 1000th comment will come in about an hour.
Only an hour spent on blog posting? Wow. I'm impressed. It seems like you spend a lot more time on it.
La la la
I had to post something to see if I remember how to log into my google account…
I just said I wasn't trying to increase your comments, but now I'm impatient. It's clear you're going to get to 1,000 eventually, so let's hurry up and get there. It will be funny to see the chaos when it gets up into the 900s and people are fighting it out for the prize.
I gotta just say: "La La La" because my verification word is: "upseti"
Talk about raising the dead…
(Thanks.)
🙂
Wow, it's getting complicated to follow the conversation trails.
word verification: unedne
I like that one.
Tick
I always feel odd about timezones, as if those behind me (such as Nathan) are living in the past.
Am I from the future? Is this some sort of space-time-continum distortion?
I really need to go to the bank and post office, but I'm afraid I won't make it back in time at this rate.
Tock
What about a comment game? Anyone feel like sharing the funny lines in your WIP? I read this one while editing today, I had forgotten about it.
"It hit me a moment before he did."
And then my favorite in my entire project: "The last time you smiled like that, I was almost killed by a fairy princess. I demand to know why you're smiling!"
Kaitlyne, thanks! She is me in anime form (just about 23 years younger or so ^_-)
verification = lazinati
Well it will be interesting to see how far we get then!
Congrats on 1k!
Tick
"Olivia". Sorry.
Tock
That's why there are always so many typos.
I predict the 1000th post will come in about 45 minutes.
(Thanks.)
🙂
Tick
Stop posting interesting stuff – it's slowing me down! 🙂
Tock
Haha. This counts too, just laughing. I am a reader. I generally "lurk," I believe is the right term for it. But in order to speed up the contest, I am coming out of the shadows. 🙂
37? That's it? That's insane! So at what point do we crown thee "Nathan Bransford King Blogger of the World and All Things Orange"? Or "NBKBWATO" for short.
I'm getting the 503 errors, too. Nathan, I think we might be at risk of breaking your blog. 😉
We're nearly halfway there!
So, I should start commenting now and maybe by 8 I'll be the thousandth commenter? Ha. I'll leave that honor to someone else as I have no query letter to be critiqued.
Congratulations on reaching 1K posts!
And every post was helpful. Thanks, Nathan. You've been a huge benefit for so many of us.
Maybe I've already been to the bank and post office, in some other timeline, and this is just a past event of a future occurance…
Ok, I'm babbling now.
This should be very interesting!
I preferred Coke when it had real cocaine in it. Of course, I was young in those days…
William! I love that princess line. That's awesome.
I went back and read a novel I started when I was 8, and the first line is
"Once upon a time in the future…" That has to be my worst line ever.
I think Tolkien spends a lot of time on world building, more than would be allowed today. The movies have an advantage because one picture of a landscape may equal half of his chapters. I can't say one way or another when taking into account all three movies (Arwen tied to the ring? Really?), but when comparing Fellowship the movie versus Fellowship the book, I'll happily take the movie.
How do we know what number comment we are?
Never commented on your blog before, but read it all the time. Just trying to help with the master plan of ruling the blog galaxy. But the question is…are you Jedi or Sith?
Awesome! Congrat's on being on so long and so successfully. I'll be back to add more comments later.
Hey, I've got a question. If we actually did win, would we still be allowed to submit to you?
I never win anything.
But I'm trying, nonetheless.
"Chief… I can't… I can't go any further. I can't go any further."
"Just one more dune to go."
"That's what you said three dunes ago. I got no more left. Oh, waiter… check, please."
"Must go on… MUST GO ON! Must go on… Who am I kidding?"
Halfway there!
It's 8.07pm here
Awesome, let's get more comments then!
I'm usually a lurker, but it seems like a great time to comment — congratulations on your 1000th post!
I never win anything.
But I'm trying, nonetheless.
Hey everyone. What was the last reading you attended?
And in terms of a more self-contained, circular story presentation, I preferred the Elves coming to Helm's Deep to help Rhonan rather than the Rangers. For being a fallen people, there sure were a lot of them. The way the movies presented the backstory and the first war with Sauron and the elven/human alliance, elves returning were a nice callback to that.
There should be a second place prize for the person who posted the most.
Yes, I heard there is a Brittany tribute and she will be on the show opposite Heather Morris' character – is her name Brittany, too?
Also, John Stamos is joining the cast as what's-her-name's dentist.
My boss is off work today. I just realized that. So, all of my concern about my terrible work ethic and being caught – never mind.
Procrastination. I should be writing and packing my daughter's stuff for her overnight filed trip.
Proooocrastination makes everything wait.
J. T. Shea: You just made water come out of my nose.
That's true – Nathan are you keeping count? How are you going to know is number 1000?
torlente
I'm trying to think of intelligent writerly questions but all I can think of is Knock Knock jokes….
Oops. Double post.
Usually I'd feel bad about that.
I have way too many favorite funny lines in my WIP but one of them just popped in my head…
"HOLY EXALTED NAKED CHEST BATMAN!!"
(in italics, of course.)
Nathan, what is the highest number of comments you've ever received on a blob post?
blah
…holy crap, ten posts just between my two. Your inbox must be overflowing.
Sith have cooler lightsabers, Jedi have Yoda. Team Jedi.
Congratulations! And look, wow, lots of comments.
My only wish is that I had wireless in this flat so I could stalk this thread from the comfort of my bed after a long day of running around London in heels…
Hey Joseph!
This is much more fun than staring at my inbox waiting for query responses. Not that I do that….
Which Yoda? Muppet Yoda or CGI Yoda?
Twins over Phillies in WS. Book it.
my last post was #474.
cormand
Whoops! I meant, "BLOG post"! LOL!
Good thing more comments is the goal here.
I'm sitting in my lounge at home, feet-up, with the chants of football fans emanating from the TV….what are you doing?
(also is this turning into a group date?)
1:10 here. Mountain standard time.
In case no one has mentioned it yet, I think "His Lobster" is a pretty awesome name, whoever you are.
cheekychook: I've never heard of a writer doing that! (/sarcasm)
487.. and counting.
I'm trying to convince myself that this sort of procrastination is acceptable.
katzie-
I'll be able to tell because blogger breaks every 200 posts into chunks. It will be the last post on the 801-1000 page.
Oooo, this is exciting.
In Norway we spell 1000: "Ett tusen" So there you have another thousand fact!
Congrats on this achievment!
Halfway there! Lalala…
Wow, the comment count went up fast in the last 30 seconds.
Anything for 500?
500, already?
Congratulations on 1000 posts! I can't even imagine doing that myself. I can almost feel the tension in here, too. It's kind of like waiting to find out who wins the lottery 😛
I'm re-evaluating. 500 in 80 minutes means the 1000th post comes at 1:30 CA time.
Puppet Yoda!
It's okay, cheekychook; you're not alone in your not staring at your inbox waiting for query responses.
Wow past 500 now. Over halfway!
ishta-
The record is last year's first paragraph contest: 2,650
Over 500! Woo-hoo!
Yoda trivia – what was the name of his walking cane? (At least in the novel?)
2,650!!!
That's an insane amount of comments.
I have to agree with Maine, Puppet Yoda for the win.
Cool, thanks Nathan! I can't believe you'e reading all these!
Just got another error code. Yikes!
Porter Anderson, I LOVE takeaways!
Reesha, that sounds like a great opening line. It would have kept me reading at eight years old.
And finding the 1000th post will be easy. the pages are divided into 200 each. The last post in the 5th section will be #1000
This one won't break that record, I'm afraid. Unless of course you give out another prize at the 3,000 mark.
I think captcha words would make excellent names for a fantasy novel. Case in point for this comment: Rierch.
Congratulations. You are a blog god, Mr. B.
Whoa! Scared me, there. Instead of a verification word, there was simply "verification word" in type. My computer was playing Psych with me.
Many "refreshes" later, my word is now: "brica"
Since it surprised me with this word, I have no ready smart-a$$ comment. Check back. It'll come to me. Someday…
I think I missed it but I wanted to be the 500th comment. No reason, just did.
Holy wow. I remembered the first paragraph contest having a lot, but didn't remember it was that many. I think I only made it through the first eight hundred or so.
2,650 comments? Holy guacamole! That's a lot of comments.
*whistles*
Things getting slow – twenty seconds to post two words. Word's getting out.
Congrats! Is the winner expected to write 999 thank you notes to all those who commented before? I'm fine with not getting one, so it's down to 998.
I'm just off to pop the kettle on. Cup of tea anyone?
Dangit.
this is moving quick
I wonder how many writers are not working on their WIPs because of your contest, Nathan.
joseph-
That's true about FELLOWSHIP, that was tough to get into. When you take away the first half for the movie it's just all the good stuff.
It was a dark and stormy night…
Here's a great question:
Soup, salad, or sandwich? Choose one. Go.
Nathan –
That's great, glad you've got the routine down so well. After "the thousand posts of Jacob de Wonderbar," I suppose one does have a grip. Since you're able to get your own book out and rep others while handling the column, you might be able to pull down a Red Bull endorsement contract along the way, you know. Ask them to make your edition Orange Ball.
mallsele
La laaaaaaaaaaa lalalaaaaaaa
I like Glee but I think it's overrated.
@Dawn – that's a lot of thank yous! /eyes boggle/
Salad.
Over half way. I'm afraid my eyes will burn out of my head before we get there and I'll miss it.
Nicole–Oooh, me me! *Raises hand*
I do admit to occasionally sneaking off to edit half a page. 😉
Word ver: ovels

*contributes while marvelling at what a good way this is to avoid cleaning*
Hey! I'm not a "writer," but a copywriter, and I enjoy reading this blog to learn about a sister industry. Just thought I'd help push these comments up to help that lucky #1000. Good luck guys!
Congrats Nathan!!! And just think how many writers you've helped out of those 1000 posts!!
Thanks Kayla…I've been "his lobster" for 15 years now…my husband and I got married in January around the time that episode aired, had our first Valentine's Day and he didn't get me anything. Little did I know he wasn't a believer in that particular "hoilday", anyway, two days later he gave me something and in the card he told me I was his lobster.
Now the entire blogging world, because, clearly, they're all HERE, knows how I got my nick-name. lol
Speaking of work ethics, Nathan, I have been wanting to lecture you for a very long time, and I'm going to take advantage of the fact that this will be buried at comment 500+.
Commence lecture:
Mr. Bransford, I am 100000% convinced that you work too hard.
Stop that, please, Mr. Bransford. I believe that you need to take more days off and have fun. Fun, fun, fun. Not even vacation days. Just days off. FUN!!! Relax and play.
It's good for the soul.
I, Mira, an admitted nap-at-worker, am a very good role model for you. I shall lead the way, and I hope you shall follow into the land of rest and nourishment.
End lecture. Thank you for your kind attention.
Congratulations Nathan!
Anyone else watch Castle last night?
Holy smokes! I walk away for an hour and come back to 536 posts. Dang, there wasn't even time to make the popcorn.
verification word = inglly
is it a gerund or an adverb?
Let's keep this comment party rolling.
Tonight is NCIS, NCIS: LA, Biggest Loser. Never watched Glee…
word ver: fiblits
Jeepin' Fiblits!
Congratulations. Now I'm tempted to post my first 5 pages one line at a time… 😉 That would get you up to 1000 comments.
First line:
Once upon a time, in a kitchen not so far away, it was a dark and stormy night when the giraffe and the zebra got tired of being stuffed in the fridge and decided to plot their revenge. Little did they know, that back on the alligator ranch…
I'm thinking soup right now, it's cold and rainy out. Soup kind of day.
First line idea!
"Monday's a soup kind of day…"
Bzial, I disagree with all your disagreements! So there! Commie!
Does the ass-kissiest comment also get a prize?
I love Glee. I'm such a dork that I sing along to most of the songs.
Just keep swimming. Just keep swimming. Just keep swimming to one thousand…

@Christauna – have Castle recorded to watch later…
GAH! Don't spoil Castle. I'm streaming it tonight. *la la la la la la la*
I have no idea what night any TV show is on. I just DVR them all and watch when I can.
Skygrazer–ROFL!
mira-
Thanks – it's a lot, but I'm alright!
Are we there yet?
I am following your blog and have a google account but can't see where to leave a comment on your blog and can't log in to use my google account id. Had this problem with another blog.
Biggest Loser rocks! I'm totally there tonight. Provided I can still see by then.
Please don't tell me what Castle was about. I missed it. NO SPOILERS!
congratulations!
1,000 Congrats Nathan! This is one of the few blogs I read every day. Thanks for being so generous with your time.
Nathan – Mira's right tho. You are like super human to do everything you do.

OMG. I'm having to check email every other minute. I stepped away for a few minutes and there were 200 new emails.
His Lobster,
AWESOME. That's a great story, thank you for sharing! And yes: it appears the entire blogosphere is commenting right now. Reading? Probably not so much. But commenting, yes. 😉
Nice to meet you, my new lobster friend!
@Ermo – Thank God for TIVO! Otherwise, I'd not get to watch my shows either :).
I'm addicted to Snapped. It has to be one of the worst-written shows on TV and yet completely mesmerizing.
I'm never lucky, but I'm going to keep trying.
La, la la…
So, I really believe that when I am driving, all other drivers should have to pull over until I pass.
I mean it. It really annoys me that other people are on the road at the same time I am.
Someone should do something about that.
And Glee is NOT over-rated. It's wonderful.
Good luck everyone!
About that football game last night???
I thought the Niners were going to lose.
Then I thought they were going to win.
Then I thought they were going to lose.
Then I thought they were going to win.
Then I thought they were going to tie.
Then they lost.
