I cannot believe that I am writing my hundredth blog post on this site. Not least because I have been unable to consistently stick to a routine for anything. Having said that, I did manage to keep up with Musical Theatre Mondays for a while, but how am I meant to blog about musical theatre if I haven’t seen any good musical theatre to share? Anyhow, I digress. As per usual. It is crazy to think of how far I have come in blogging since January. It has been a crazy 8 months, and I feel like I have produced so many thoughts and opinions about the content that I’m watching. whether that is a weekly recap/musing about some programmes, or periodic film and musical theatre reviews. I feel like over the course of that time, I have come to hone those skills and I’ve been feeling increasingly more confident with my review writing since then.

There’s still a long way to go. I would love to be able to share more of my own creative work on here, not least to help myself practise my creative writing. It has been far too long, and it’s something that I’m hugely passionate about.

Having said that, I was hugely stuck on what to write for my 100th blog post. I knew that I had to acknowledge it in some way, and celebrate the journey that I’ve come on. The blog is still so recent that I didn’t feel like I needed to look back on my favourite posts so far, as it’s only been a few months since I wrote most of them in the first place. Furthermore, I already recapped my summer of TV programmes only a few weeks ago so I wasn’t going to share all of my loves in TV. The number of open internet browsers on my computer is obscene, all variants on “100 lists” and “100 blog posts”. Ultimately, none of them really sang to me, until I discovered: 100 Favourite Things.

So here we go, my 100 favourite things. Expect musical theatre, books, film and random non-sequiturs.

So there we have it. I hope that I manage to find more time in the future to be blogging about myself. I hope to be talking about my favourite parts of my holiday to Disney World soon enough, as well as the places I hope to travel to in the future.

Over the next few weeks, it’s my plan to be posting weekly. I am undecided what day of the week I intend to be posting (excluding my recap posts). Pretty soon we should have:

• American Horror Story recaps.
• The Good Place recaps.
• Charmed recaps.
• A weekly review (Film/Musical Theatre/TV)
• Intermittent personal posts.
