Of the original 419 blog post drafts, 76 drafts remain. From the first post of this silly project in early December until today’s post, I’ve revived/edited or nearly simply reposted 68 posts. That nearly eclipses my early blogging frenzy in the late 90’s/early 2000’s when I posted snippets nearly daily… many of those posts are now inaccessible due to transitions of blog archives, but they are not lost. One day I will figure out if I should (and how to) reconnect them here.
I am now posting 2-3 per week. Of the remaining drafts, I estimate there are up to 40-50 viable posts. Some require real work, others just some light editing. Probably fewer of the latter. I’ve weeded out most of the drafts that refer to links that are now broken, unable to connect to the sources that inspired the post. That makes me sad.
Happily, some of you have left comments and we have reconnected — sweetness. It reminded me of the importance of leaving comments. Euan Semple, I keep trying to comment on your blog, but I fear I have so many different WordPress identities, I keep failing at logging on. I will work on that but I’ve posted imaginary comments quite a few times in the past few months. Harold Jarche, I was thrilled you were happy to get a comment from me on YOUR blog. Ton, Alan, Darcy, Joitske, Mark, Christy, Monica, Robyn, Patrick, and Stephen, thanks for your comments so far. The 10 of you give me more energy than you might imagine!
Leaving, and following, comments remains one of the biggest frustrations of blogging even after all these years! Email me if you keep struggling and I’ll see if I can add you manually.
Will do, Euan. I need to overcome inertia!
Nancy, this project has inspired me! Like you, I have half-started posts or links to things that would make good posts (imvho) just hanging out. Not 419 but … ok, I haven’t counted. Maybe 419.
Anyway, just wanted to connect and say you’re my inspiration. Now may I borrow a cup of energy and time?
Laura
Here is your cup of energy! It is kismet…I was just thinking about you the other day and your prodigious reading practice!!!!
Adding to the chorus of appreciation for these Nancy – been joyful to be part of the ride, thanks for your generosity, as always!
Joy is GOOD!!!
