Blog Posts of 2012
These posts are not necessarily the ones that had the most traffic, comments, or shares. They are simply my favorite posts from each month. The ones I really enjoyed writing.
January - Waiting To Be Picked Up - I love my books and my books love me. A piece of fiction. Maybe.
February - How (Not) To Bowl - I have amazing bowling skills. You are jealous your bowling skills aren't quite as
March - Mind Painting - This is my creative process.
Saying Good-Bye to The Encyclopedia Britannica - I will always love you.
April - My Grandma's 88th Birthday - 88th birthdays should be celebrated all year.
May - When Life Implodes - My first time writing flash fiction. Also, probably the shortest blog post I have every published.
June - Things I'm Afraid To Tell You - Hard core honesty. Boom.
I also enjoyed reading the posts other people wrote for this movement.
July - Ten Years On Our Way To Forever - Ten years ago we stood in our pastor's house at midnight, and made promises to each other. This post chronicles those ten years. (For our third 10th anniversary, Thomas and I made lists of 10 Things We Learned From 10 Years Of Marriage.)
August - Why Do You Write - Just call me Anne Shirley or Jo March.
September - Pretend Fall Survival Kit - This is how we get prepared for fall at our house, even though fall never actually shows up.
October - The Turtle And The Green Collection - Happy school memories of recesses and starting clubs.
November - Relaxing In The Bathtub - Baths are not relaxing. Not at all.
