101 Posts

Yesterday was my 100th post. At roughly a post a day, that means I've been blogging for approximately 100 days. Again, I want to thank the person whose blog inspired me to start writing on a regular basis as well as the people who follow and read my blog. I was planning on writing something creative for my hundredth post, but, though my insomnia subsided, writers block set in. I think it was just my pressure of doing my hundredth post, so now hopefully I can move forward. As most of you can tell by now, I am very seldom caught speechless. I will probably however slow down my blog entries for the next few months, there are other things I need to do. What to expect from my blog going forward? A lot of stuff like I've had in the first 100 posts, as well as some new things.

Summer is almost over and the temperatures are getting bearable here, so lots more photos.

One of my other passions is cooking so going forward I'll be posting recipes that people have asked for.

I've been writing some short stories, when I finish them, hopefully they will end up here.

Lastly, people who know me have asked, "Where are the rants and raves?". So maybe some of them will also make there way to the blog.

In honor of my 100th post I'd like to leave you all with some quotes about writing:
