The first post introduced readers (haha! so many readers!) to my favorite things. They've held up over the past half-decade, with a few additions.
The first post to mention a book was my second post overall, in which I recommended Seamus Heaney's translation of BEOWULF, but didn't think to provide a link.
The first dedicated book post was this one, flashing back to BREAD AND JAM FOR FRANCES. I used to listen to it on a 45-rpm record. (The book, not the post.)
It's funny and cringe-inducing to look back at the early posts. Not only was I not writing in my everyday voice, I was trying too hard to find a distinctive one. A bloggish voice. *cringe*
A special shout to codename:Itchy Bits. She was one of my first readers and still comments now and again. Thanks!
Were you blogging five years ago? If so, did the essential YOU come through in your posts? Has your blog changed focus? Do you think you'll be blogging five years from now?
5 ate pie:
Wow - in blogging terms you're ancient -lol! I'm rolling up on one year now. It's a blast and I love it, but also a commitment. Regardless of whether your first posts were cringe-inducing, you are deserving of many congratulations for your dedication.
Have a glass of wine to celebrate!
Heyyyy, good idea. Where'd I put that bottle opener...?
Happy blog birthday! Five years is a LOT of pie. *hoping for many years more* :)
Sarah - good thing it's not real pie. :) Thanks!
Happy anniversary. Or is it birthday? I have been blogging for about ten months, and I am afraid to go back and look at my early postings.
