My 100th Blog Entry

Today marks a historic event, at least for me, though it may be ignored by most of the rest of the world. Today I am posting the one hundredth entry of my Doug BrotherofCats Blog. When I started this thing I really didn’t know where it was going. I know there are thousands of blogs out there with many more followers. That’s OK. This thing has grown over time and gotten bigger and better than I had dreamed. I have this blog on two blog directories, Amazon, several Facebook pages, tweeted by many friends at the Independent Authors Network, and is now on Goodreads. I wanted the blog to be a platform for my writing, but decided early on to not only promote my writing, but to also write about all the subjects of fantasy and science fiction that interest me. I had taken on some of the tropes of the genres that really do not make sense, and covered topics as diverse as black holes and vampires. Discussed future warfare and past, how fleets of spaceships will battle in the future, and how barbarians were defeated by the Romans. I really have no idea how many people read this blog. It gets sent to 49 followers I believe, and then is posted where thousands more can read it if they wish. I do know that this blogs is one of the most enjoyable things I do in the promotion of my writing. It stretches my imagination and helps immensely in my worldbuilding and plot development. I plan to continue and possibly expand this blog in the future, with the possible inclusion of reviews of other books as well as articles on science and history. I thank all of those who follow, and all of those who read the semi-random ramblings of a sick mind. And I look forward to hearing from you in the future, please feel free to post comments, as dialogue makes the thing much more interesting.
