Blog Post Seven Hundred

I normally don't worry about numbers--my books' Amazon rankings, sales numbers, my Klout score (whatever that is--I'm not into that). But when I started to write this blog post, I noticed that it would be the seven hundredth Random Jotting I've unleashed on the public.

I started blogging before the publication of my first book (The Tender Scar: Life After The Death Of A Spouse), and have continued to the present, through the publication of four novels, with another due out early next year. I tried at first to blog daily, or at least three or four times a week. Eventually, reality set in and I settled into the present routine of posting each Tuesday and Friday. Not long ago, I surveyed my readers (both of them, I think) and found that they enjoyed my posts about "stuff in general," as well as posts about writing, so that's what I've been doing since then.

To those who've been with me all the way, my sincere thanks. To those who've joined us as we slog along, I appreciate it. And to those who haven't yet become regular readers, I hope you'll do just that. I'll try to be entertaining and/or educational--sometimes, if we're lucky, both.

Thanks to you all.

(Note: I'm on vacation this week, so I may not be able to respond to your comments, but I hope you'll feel free to leave some just the same.)
