I know its not a big deal for you popular bloggers but I have just achieved a 100 followers, 104 to be precise. Considering my intention was never to court people to read my blogs Im quite pleased. What i do like about blogging is that all Im really doing is projecting into space my thoughts. All Im really doing is thinking aloud if that makes sense. I never reread my blog (ok, so you can tell) I just release it into the unknown. My poems and short stories I draft and redraft but there is something liberating about just putting down what comes into my head. For you people who have taken the trouble to read me, my grateful thanks.
