My 100 blog posting

I have been reading my old blog on myspace. It wasn't even my first blog. I didn't realize how long that I've been blogging, but it's over 10 years. So, this is - by far - not my 100 blog posting ever. Just # 100 here!

Still this is something to celebrate. I was hoping for 365 postings my first year here, but my project failed me.

I feel a strange emptiness in my writing after reading my postings from 7 years ago. I was unabashedly blogging out my life. Now I can't turn out a single blog without tossing the idea around for a few days. 

I wasn't going to make this a personal blog. It was for my writing, but there is nothing more personal than my poetry.

*Simple musings* that is what I called the blog after the project was ended. It's about time that I getting musing!

Your's truly,

Inspiration

I am inspired, people. By the very blog that I created (& you are reading). A year of daily writing was too much for this busy mom, but I miss my studies of poetry. I miss school, really. Yes, I was one of THOSE kids. I liked school & now miss it, especially my studies in literary forms (i.e. poetry). I guess that there is some short stories that needs my attention on my computer.

SO...

I vow to you now, my random sprinkling of regular readers (that would be you, Ron), there will be much more writing in the near future. At the very least, I will find my old notebook from the project & input the poetry that I physically wrote but never posted. :)
