I posted my 100th post last week and I thought I should give a little back to all of you who give me so very much.
Monday morning. Again. Time to make my blogging circuit and discover what's on other writers' minds. I realized a while ago how much I've come to count on this wonderful online world of writers. I love reading all of your blogs and experiencing how each of you approach your craft. I've enjoyed learning what I have in common with many of you, and what makes me stand alone in a corner.
It's been said many times, but it bears repeating because it's true. Writing is a lonely business. I don't have a writing partner (I can't see myself doing well in such a relationship). I write alone. Admittedly, I have two cats who stalk by and occasion and seem to judge me. Harshly. But most of the time it's just me and the laptop ( and it seems to have very little to say).
This is my thank you to all of you who have been kind enough to include me on your own blog circuit. I so appreciate all of your comments; some of which have made me laugh, some of which have made me smile; all of which have made me think.
I can't imagine not being in touch now that I've entered this world. It's comforting to know as I sit here tapping away that so many of you around the world are tapping away as well.
I wish you all inspired plots, fascinating characters and blockless writing. Thank you all.
Thanks to you for all your informative posts and for giving us a fun, welcoming place to stop by!

Here's to your next 100 posts! I have a cat who stalks by too, mostly when it's close to dinnertime, and she's reminding me lest I forget.
ReplyDeleteCarolyn; Thank YOU for dropping by!
ReplyDeleteGalen; What a kind thing to say. I will try my best to be interesting and informative.
Joanne; My cats don't stalk near dinnertime. That's when they glare. Accusingly.

ReplyDeleteI am very glad I ran into you. Hope it didn't hurt. :) I appreciate your knowledge and your sharing it with me.
ReplyDeleteIt IS comforting to realize that other people "around the world are tapping away". And if someone doesn't show up on my blog, then I worry a little about them.
Congrats on your 100th.

ReplyDeleteElspeth your blog is always so informative. Thank you so much for all of your work. You're right writing is a lonely job and knowing you and my other blogging friends is such a blessing. THANK YOU!!
ReplyDeleteI love visiting your blog, Elspeth. You always have something new to say, and a fun way of saying it.

And when I think of my online fraternity, I can only quote Maria Von Trapp - "somewhere in my youth or childhood, I must have done something good."
