With this, my 101st post, I want to thank each and every reader, share-er :-) and commenter (commentator?) on my posts. I have never in my entire life been as prolific as I am now, and a large part of that has been due to your encouragement and support.

First of all, to Mr. Cameron Kellock, site founder, who first extended the invitation to have me submit my writing here. Never thought it would take off as it has, because neither of us knew it would open a floodgate of characters and stories; A heartfelt "Thank you."

A special mention of honor to Judith Petrushko, who first commented on my War and Breakfast and story, and has continued to be my biggest encourager.

Another to Mr. Darren Scanlon, poet and writer extraordinaire, who also rallies to champion my blog, Beyond Panic. He shares posts from other writers on his own blog, The Pen and The Page. I love that he is unselfish with his blog, and is secure enough to share and praise the writings of others. Check it out when you can. You won't be disappointed.

Another special mention to Dave Stahl, who is a gifted musician, writer, and most importantly, a friend. Check out his Piano Tuner Journal, and his (better finish them) stories. His hooks are immediate, and you'll come to care about his characters.

And to MPLH, we've had our differences, but you've remained true to who you are, and I admire that in any person, even if we disagree.

To my fellow writers on Twitter, and RTers, Likers, and Favers of my Tweets, the Story Forge, Beyond Panic, and Tumblr, thanks to you as well for helping me along in a major way.

I wish I could tell you where all the ideas are coming from. I can't, but a lot of the inspiration comes from the magnificent fantasy art and photography the internet has provided. It's largely 'what if,' and the rest comes from the characters; I honestly do feel sometimes like I'm channeling.

If this sounds a lot like I'm accepting an award, it's because I am:

YOUR readership. ALL of you.

All I need now is a published book :-)

Thank you.
