I was hoping to be able to write this yesterday, but it has had to wait until today.
Thank you to everyone for your kind comments. It is all most flattering and appreciated. Unfortunately it has given me an opportunity to self-reflect and self-indulge, which I'm not going to pass up.
Lush has been my creative home for over a decade and I must thank Nicola for creating this site and giving all us wannabe writers the opportunity to express ourselves. I've had a little look and I believe there are about 1,000 still active members who have been here longer than me. To all of them I want to say hello and wish them happy lushing.
In my time here I was the first recipient of the Attention Whore badge and one of the authors chosen to be included in the very first Lush publication. Both of which are things I'm very proud of. But more importantly Lush has provided an outlet to express myself and make friends. I'm not sure I would mentally have survived the UK's 2nd Covid lockdown without it. So, thank you Nicola for helping to preserve my sanity.
As an author it is an honour to be one of only 64 who have written 100 stories and today, which is why I didn't post this yesterday, I became the 25th author to complete the Omnium.
So thank you, James, for this lovely Forum post. Thank you to everyone for their kind messages and an extra special thank you to all who have read, commented or communicated with me across the last 10 years. Thank you all very much.
Best go now, more stories to write.
Hugs
