Written Whispers

Wow, I was going over the statistics for my blog earlier and… wow. Just wow. This little corner of the internet contains 250 posts, 852 comments, and 134,645 words!

Curious for whatever reason I started going back over some old posts of mine and I found a few hidden gems, some entirely forgotten while others I remember clear as day. Some were quite popular while others… may have never been read. :) Here’s some of my favorites that I’d like to share with you since I haven’t been posting as regularly as I used to.

My Idea [Sept, 14, 07 / 0 Comments] – This is my very first post ever. It’s nothing much but I figured if I’m going over old posts then I should give this one at least a little love. I remember back when I first started this blog on a Blogger it was because I was looking for something in particular but I couldn’t find it… nowadays with my knowledge of the Blogopsphere I could but back then I was pretty lost so I just made what I was looking for. :) I think my goal has turned out quite nicely.

My Vow Against the Mirror [Dec, 4, 07 / 12 Comments] – And this one is my most popular post as far as comments go. I don’t really know what to say for it other than it’s worth a look according to everyone who’s read it so far.

Earth [Oct, 16, 07 / 0 Comments] – This is just an old post that I thought never got the chance it deserved. It started out as one thing and then ended up as a bit of a poetic tangent.

Personality of the Pen [Oct, 30, 07 / 1 Comment] – Just my thoughts on how writer’s are their characters and so much more all at one. Fairly short compared to my other posts.

Shadows [Jan, 26, 08 / 2 Comments] – This is one of the very first prompts I started working with. It’s basically what I think of when I think of shadows but it also ties into a story I’ve been working on for a… well, a lot of years. Something I’m waiting on before I complete it.

Born Under an Early Sky [Jan, 28, 08 / 3 Comments] – This is also for a prompt but it’s an edited version. I’m not yet willing to explain how but I hold these words very close to my heart, in some ways it relates to another story of mine but in others it relates to some experiences throughout my life.

More Deng Ming-Dao [Mar, 03, 08 / 1 Comment] – I absolutely love the writings of Deng Ming-Dao! I think, through his writing, I’ve learned to bring the craft I love so much closer to that of my spirituality. I’ve watched two seemingly completely different facets of my soul come closer over time and while I can’t give the Taoist’s philosophy all the credit I can thank it for helping me realize many things along the path.

Do You Hear Me, Darkness? [Mar, 31, 08 / 6 Comments] – This is my protest against those (people, events, self destructive thoughts) that would bring me down.

Purposely Untitled [July, 23, 08 / 2 Comments] – More Tao and a ramble, nothing important but it’s me so why not?

A Visit to My Mother [May, 23, 08 / 2 Comments] – An experience I went through during some Spring or Summertime meditation outside. It doesn’t involve my ‘bio mother’ or other moms in any such way. I’d really love it if those of you who haven’t read this would give it a chance. This post is very important to me.

Do You Head Me, Darkness? Part 2 [May, 05, 08 / 3 Comments] – My second battle against the things that get me down but this time I know my weapons- my writing, is with me. :D

Four in the Morning [Oct, 06, 08 / 3 Comments] – Some real fears and thoughts at four in the morning surrounded by loved ones who’ve made all the difference in my life.

Now, I have a challenge for some of you out there, those who’ve been blogging on and off for a least a few months. Go into your archives, scroll through some of your most popular and least popular posts, read a few of your random ones, and then select a handful to re-share with the world. Everyone out there is constantly seeking fresh content but when you blog/journal, be it professional or otherwise, you pour a little bit of yourself into your words eventually and they are important. Don’t let your thoughts, feelings, and memories be forgotten.

PS, comment counts in this post are excluding my own because I don’t think that’s very fair.
