This Is My 501-st Post

Jason Boog

October 24, 2006

Know More: Inspirational Writing, Web Journalism, Writing Resources 2.0, Writing Resources

This is my 501-st post on The Publishing Spot.

In honor of this crazy landmark, I wanted to share an essay from that mystery blogger, Bookseller Chick. In a few short paragraphs, she reminded me why I read (and, therefore, why I write this blog in the first place).

I hope you enjoy it, and then, I hope it inspires you to write something yourself. Most of all, I hope to see you at the 1001-st post.

Listen to Bookseller Chick...

"Using old sheets and the clothing line, we created tents. My backyard became a desert and we were explorers moving from oasis to oasis searching for buried treasure. The pits left from where my father dug up trees to ship became an obstacle course we had to transverse as the howls from the greyhound farm next to us spurred us on.

....

"We were invincible, capable of being anyone and doing anything, and each incarnation of our world, each character we played was the result of something gleaned from a book."

Heh... I once heard that Google were celebrating their 1.000.000.000.000th search. I wish you the best of luck and I can't wait to see you celebrate the same number blog.
