– from Topic post, WRITING TOPIC – COFFEE BREAK
I like your list. I can tell it came out fast. Great, fun writing topics. Thanks.

Very fast. It kind of poured out near the middle of the night after a long few days of travel. Changing place around, shaking it up, stimulates me. As long as I can always go back home.
I hope they inspire someone. You know, they kind of even inspire me. I have no idea where they all came from. I didn’t try to do 100 either. I just let her rip – and when I was done, I had exactly 100. Go figure. 8)

That is a lot of 100’s. Looking over this list again, I kind of want to write on a few of these Writing Topics just to see where they take me. For starters, the Lone Ranger at #35, buttermilk at #86, Barbie & Ken at #92, where to lose memories at #45, people who have forgotten me at #49 (this would really take you somewhere), and, finally, coming in at #25, why loss is forever (which might be connected to #49).
