300 and still counting.

I had my first story posted on the fourth of October 2004 on Sapphires Place, the first episode of Snafu - a confection of New Age, transgenderism, military, medical and the occult. For some reason readers liked it, and I'm still writing it, although a conclusion could be emerging eventually.
Then I had a go at a Gaby fanfic, which Maddy bell liked and I did some more, that has since turned into a trilogy, book three is still going with a new episode due to be posted anytime.
Meanwhile back at Sapphire's, I started another story, just a basic rite of passage story for a young teen who initially is forced into a female role, but who quickly adapts and prefers it. Okay, it was contrived at the beginning, but after that, I consider it my most serious writing, exploring emotions and depth of character way beyond any of my other stories.
I went on in this vein for some time until last July, when I played with an idea that I was going to describe on a blog, for some reason I wrote it as a light hearted comedy instead, direct to the website and Easy As Falling Off A Bike happened. It wasn't planned and I certainly didn't believe it would run this long.
Since the first Snafu, I have written over 300 episodes or complete stories, I suppose very much a question of never mind the quality look at the output. Prolific or what?
On the whole I am blessed, insofar as stringing words together has never been a problem, I'm not sure it's a talent because there are people of whose writing, I am in awe. I don't know if I will ever achieve that level through laziness, although I think my standard has risen probably through practice and guidance from one or two friends who see mistakes I miss.
I suppose I have to plead guilty for taking up server space on three or four websites, I've enjoyed it, I hope you have. Thanks to all my proofers and editors and all my friends for keeping me at it.
Happy three hundred.
hugs,
Angharad.
