Suddenly it hit me.  I had just written my 201st article.

It was interesting to realize that.  I recall quite vividly my planning out carefully just what I was going to write for my 100th article.  It seemed like such a landmark for me.  Interesting that 200 was a nonissue.  I have been wondering what changed over the course of the last hundred articles, and I think I have it figured out.

It took me a good portion of my first 100 articles to feel like I was "settling" in, both here as a community member and here as a writer.  But somewhere in the course of the next hundred that no longer became and issue, and so I stopped wondering how many articles I had written, how far along I was.  The novelty of writing and interacting here changed to a more comfortable sense of net-home.

I am pleased with the transformation, as the writing has become easier.  It will be interesting to see what changes over the next hundred.
