Do you ever go back and reread your old posts? I went back and browsed through some posts from when I started this blog back in 2005. I’d forgotten some of the things I’d done that year. Little things in life that had caught my attention. Like how I come up with blog topics or how I hated my couch and then finally got a new one. or little bits of education about seat ganks
But the most fun was just reading a sentence here or there about things going on it my life. Old pictures from conferences. Some topics I’d like to cover again and see how my opinions have changed in the last two years.
So, do you ever go back and browse through your old blog posts?

Do you sometimes spend a lot of time finding JUST the right word when you’re writing? I mean A LOT OF TIME? :hide: I sometimes just let myself get lost in the world of synonyms and phrases. I’ve been known to wake up in the morning with just the word I was looking for the day before. My favorite source for synonyms is the Rodale book The Synonym Finder. There is just something comforting about looking through a book for the right word. I find Word’s thesaurus too limiting. I’ve been known to look through this online thesaurus when I’m in a hurry. Doesn’t give me the same love of the hunt though. :love:
So what’s your just-the-right-word-finder of choice?
