Over the past three years I have built up quite an extensive archive, which I am immensely proud of. For its contents of course, but also for the discipline it displays. My endeavour (as Lady Grinning Soul and then) as Harper Eliot is by no means my first or only foray into the world of blogging, but it is the place which has flourished to become so much more than it may have first appeared to be, thanks, in no small part, to my readers and fellow writers.
Perusing my archives I realised that to a newcomer, or even a regular reader, the volume of content might have begun to seem a little daunting. Whilst I try to categorise everything so that it can be found easily, I understand that you, as readers, cannot always be sure of finding what you’re looking for. And I’m afraid I can’t tell you which of my pieces will capture your specific interest.
I can, however, give you a few recommendations. I considered creating a page that linked to my most commented on pieces, or my most viewed pieces, but in the end I didn’t feel it quite displayed the full extent of my abilities as a writer. So I have decided on this rather less humble approach. Consider this the director’s cut; it may not be perfect, but it displays my blog in the way I always intended it to.
Pieces are in chronological writing order.
