   Please share your most recent milestone or accolade!
   
   Has it been a goal, a pleasant surprise, or are you oblivious and just write because you love it?
   
   I'm a little excited that I'm getting close to the 1000 views mark.  LOL
   Small potatoes compared to many but I don't care - I'm on my way.

      Congratulations and wish you all the best for  many more accolades.
      My latest accolades were 50 hubs and 50 featured hubs on the same day. Having completed 35, 000 views, I am always looking forward  for achieving more accolades. The accolades are certainly a great motivation, although I write here purely for the love of writing.
      Thanks for this interesting thread! Feels great to read others achievements and get motivated thereby.

      I don't think anyone doesn't hope for an applause, a pat on the back, a compliment....for the blood, sweat and tears they may put into their work.
      
      It is always great to be appreciated and rewarded in some fashion.   You are doing a really fine job here, Meredith.  It seems to me that you jumped in with both feet and are very enthusiastic.   With your positive attitude and writing talent, you're headed for the top.  Good luck!  Paula

       Many people haven't written a new Hub in years and yet they have very high Hubber Scores. The Hubber Scores are based more on the QAP chart than on traffic and AnamikaS is a perfect example of that.  At 10 million views, she has contributed more valuable content than probably 99.99% of all Hubbers.  She is absolutely right that the present system has depleted her motivation and actually discourages her from writing more great, traffic-generating Hubs.

                We have several Greyhound routes still running after the cuts of the last few years, but many of them are at odd middle-of-the-night times. Riding the rails on a freight train might be faster.

                   That would be the case already for some people depending on their browser.
                   
                   The bigger worry for me, if I had an account that size, would be the headache if HubPages ever changes its rules again.   Trying to manage revisions on all 2,000 Hubs on a tight deadline would be a nightmare.
                   
                   My most recent accolade was for the impressive total of 100 Hubs.   I stopped writing new Hubs a long time ago to work on my websites, so I haven't published any in ages.   However, the other week I decided to republish some which I'd unpublished because they had gone unFeatured - and that's what got me over the 100.   So far they are all still featured and OK.

          JessBrazposted 11 years agoin reply to this

          Well, since my accolades are rather modest thus far, and I am not even kind of close to earning any money from my writing, it would be the actual act of writing that keeps me going. I had dreams of being a professional writer as a kid, but alas, reality interfered and I had to get a regular full time job.
          I really enjoy researching my hubs and trying to push myself to make it as polished as possible. Putting my head phones in and shutting out the world for a bit while I work on a hub is a great stress relief for me. I enjoy the solitude of getting lost in a hub.. Unfortunately I get a little carried away with trying to make it too polished that it sometimes gets in the way of actually finishing a hub. Hence, why I've been here for 3 years and only have 11 published hubs. lol.
          Thankfully this new Hubpot challenge seems to be working as a tool for me to sit down and write a hub from start to finish. I needed the extra push to see one hub through to the end before I start the next one.
          I also really enjoy the thrill of hitting "publish" for the first time. It's terrifying and exhilarating at the same time.

             I've got about 10 books that I've edited to death.  Literally kept visiting them and tweaking because I wanted to make them perfect and ended up putting them away indefinitely because I was so sick of them at that point.  I've been afraid to do that with my hubs so here's my theory - I let it go and if it doesn't get featured or I see the traffic dropping then I dive in for an edit.
