A Writer's Notes Journey Back in Time
August 7th 2007 01:08
A Fascinating Meme
Lillie Ammann, at A Writer's Words, An Editor's Eye, has tagged me for a fascinating meme--one that will give me the opportunity to showcase some of my older blog posts, some of which have sat languishing in the Writer's Notes archives for as long as six whole months (the entire time my blog has been in existence).
The object of the meme is to resurrect a representative collection of older posts--ten to be exact--which give an accurate picture of what my blog is all about. Some of the posts I've chosen are among my oldest and others are a bit more recent--yet, perhaps even some of the newer ones will not have been seen by anyone other than my most die-hard fans. (Do I really have any of those?) Like Lillie, I did not include any posts that were memes or group writing projects.
My Four-fold Purpose
My purpose for penning the Writer's Notes blog has always been to offer information, inspiration, encouragement, and resources to writers. Therefore, I will break down my choices of past posts into those four categories, asking you to bear in mind that there will, no doubt, be some overlap, since many posts serve more than purpose.
My Ten Timeless Posts
Since I am limited to ten posts, I've found it necessary to leave out many wonderful writing resources; but I will do my best to compile some of these, which have moved out of view in my sidebar and into the archival abyss, into a list of links to be published in a future post.
Information
A Simple Word that Sucks All Authority Right Out of Your Writing
Keyword Density: Your Key to Better Search Engine Ranking
Inspiration
A Salute to My Fellow Writers--With Links!
Critics and Criticism: A Writer's Perspective
Encouragement
Opportunities for Writing Online Abound! (My very first post on my brand new blog!)
W-R-I-T-I-N-G Spells Opportunity! (My first post on my new domain, WritersNotes.Net!)
Resources

Here are the rules of the favorite posts from the past meme:
1. Please try to limit your post to ten items or fewer. Tag five people.
2. Take your time. Do a little digging through your archives to find the perfect posts. This is more to your advantage than anyone else's.
3. Please, if possible, link to this post for meme info, and please also link to the post in which you were tagged. Memes can go on for quite some time, and it can be difficult to try to follow one backwards to see some of the other posts, when only the blog URL is used. Just a polite request.
4. Please let the people you tag know that they've been tagged, either by e-mail, contact form, or some other efficient method.
I’m tagging the following bloggers to share ten past posts that will give us a good feel for what each of their blogs is all about:
Marcus Goodyear, at GoodWordEditing.Com
Anne Wayman, at The Golden Pencil
Randa Clay, at Randa Clay Design
Michi Beck, at Content Done Better
Denise Grier, at Freelancing Journey
I look forward to reading all the resurrected posts at each of the blogs whose authors I've tagged!
Happy digging!
Jeanne

I totally agree! I think too often our readers miss many helpful posts simply because they're buried in our blogs' archives! So, this is definitely a helpful meme!
Thanks for the visit!
