Meh, I am feeling uninspired at the moment, after having already written more of my three daily offline stories and three of my daily blogs., but still want to post something. So what to do?

This is where it helps to have already been writing for eight years. I have old stuff I can haul out as needed, though this is the first time I've done this...have a look.

/The year 2000 has arrived and Y2K is only whispering at us...so far. I'll take a moment to knock on wood(Yes, I actually knocked on wood, on my desktable to be precise) before moving on to other things./

Those were the first words I wrote in 2000 as I intended to write daily, even if it was only journaling, it was writing and that was important to me. And that first string of writing days is to this day, the longest such string of days coming in at 728. And that, dear readers, is none too shabby, even if I do so say it myself.

Fortunately, I've written much better stuff since then, than that opening paragraph which signaled my intentions to a writing career, so I know I do have a career ahead of me. It's just a question of how long and good it can be.

Anyway, the meh feeling is gone, so I could in fact stay on and write more, but I still have one more blog to post so...I'm out.

Next when, have some strawberries in the meantime...they're effin' good.
