A Million by 60

If I said "thank you" a million times, it wouldn't be enough.

In June of 2011, I started this blog. It was my third blog, the first being a journal of what was going on with me and my family, intended for friends and family members who wanted to know what we were up to. I also created Songsaengnim: A Korea Diary, where I published the raw, rough-draft chapters that would eventually become my novel, which was published in 2012.

Today, only the first chapter remains available to read on that old blog.

When I was seeing more and more people reading Brownfoot Journal, I decided to create another blog that was separate from my family life—sort of—and was just an outlet for my thoughts and opinions. That other blog is what you're now reading.

The Brown Knowser blog has been my outlet for nearly 14 years, where I've shared my thoughts, photos, fiction, music interests, my YouTube videos, and more. And for some reason, my readers like what I've had to share.

Thank you!

The blog has gone from a couple of viewers per day to a few dozen, to a hundred, to 500, to sometimes more than a thousand viewers each day. Last Friday, even though I didn't have a new blog post to share, I had received almost 1,000 viewers by the time a post is usually announced on social media.

It's still early days, this month, but by current projections, I could surpass 30,000 views this month.

Overall, my blog has received more than 957,000 views. Again, thank you!

In March, I'll be 60 years old, and I thought it would be great if, by my birthday, The Brown Knowser would reach one million views. But to do that, I need your help.

If you like my posts, spread the word. Share my posts on whatever social-media platforms you're on. If you follow me on Bluesky, re-post my announcements of the latest blog posts.

Help me reach a million by the time I reach 60.

Once more, thank you for your support!
