Congrats! 1,000 in such a short time is a huge deal!

The part that resonated with me the most is the idea that you as a writer have no unique selling point, as that's something I and so many other writers struggle with, too. If that doubt lingers, just remember that 1,000 people (and counting) would disagree. One thing I've learned in the last few years is that your selling point might be different to different readers -- your X's and O's knowledge for one person, your writing voice to another, etc. There are multiple ways to appeal to readers!

Anyway, congrats again, and I look forward to what's next!

Thanks, Mike!

You know, that some awesome insight. I had never thought about a USP being unique to each subscriber...Had always look at is as something more wide-reaching. That really helped change the way I look at things!

I also really appreciate all the support and conversations, man!

Here's to us both crushing the new season!

Congratulations on this move and this milestone Adam. I look forward to reading your insights over the course of the year ahead! I share your anxiety issues and encourage your working them out as you need to side-by-side with your coverage. Basketball and community are a great balm; I'm glad you're immersing yourself in both. Wishing you the best!

Thanks Adam for your candid words and brave decision. I will continue to follow both CelticsBlog and the Chronicle. They do not conflict for me, but I understand the trade off that you make. Rest assured that your comments, analysis (where the hard work you put in really shines through) makes a huge difference to me as a Celtics fan to experience the season. It is so much more fun with your insights and perspectives that enrich the Celtics experience!
