I've been thinking that your idea of reposts is a good one, and yet never really considered doing it myself. Now that you have spelled it out for me, I will do it too, one of these Sundays. We all certainly have posts that have not gotten the attention we would have liked, but I wonder how many of us have something that was made (at least a year prior) when we first started that we would want to share now? I'd be curious to see how many people arrived on scene with a good idea of what they were doing and accomplishing it well. I know for certain I'm not even looking at any of that first year shit from my blog. Lol. But I know there are lots of things from after that rough time period that I could rehash.
Actually, this is a fun idea. For the writers out there, I wonder also how many are fly-by-the-seat-of-their-pants kind of writers, like I am. Nothing is ever formatted prettily, and is generally written less than one hour prior to posting. For of us write as we go folks, going through and formatting posts will be fun and inspiring.
We all kind of have to feel our way around in the dark when we first get rolling, but even portions of those earliest posts all bundled into one could still look good. Like I said in another comment, it's at least something to laugh about.
And yes, taking a moment to add all the bells and whistles, reword a few things, add a few things. One step closer to perfection. Totally normal as well because some books are sold, then the second edition comes out with changes. And I know the ones who take pride in their stuff will find ways to improve things. I remember when I had reposted that story about This Man walking through the wilds at night, I seriously sat there considering if I should just write it all out like a normal writer, do it as me, then add in more details. That's something I still could do. I wouldn't do it soon though as it all too fresh in everyone's memory.
Doesn't it seem like we all worked a little too hard when we first got here?
I had to remind myself that this was not a space for evergreen posts, but a space for the everchanging now.
