Blast From the Past - Posts from the Vaults
Enjoy this blast from the past, before you get a glimpse of the future.
Robert Hruzek of Middle Zone Musings has asked me to gather together 10 posts which give a picture of Grow Your Writing Business. This is good timing as I recently posted Thirteen Ways to Increase Traffic to Old Posts and doing a round up of favorites was one of them.
I’ve enjoyed a walk down memory lane as I’ve gathered what I feel is a good overview of what we’re about here at Grow Your Writing Business. If you read my 7 Random Things About Me post, you’ll see that #1 is I can’t count. 
Forgive me if there are a few more than 10 …
Grow Your Writing Business Blast From the Past
The Day I Browsed 2 Million Books. As an avid reader, writer, lover of words and idea catcher I love second hand book sales. This one is the world’s largest. It’s held twice a year, and is only 2 hours from me. I can’t resist.
Getting Someone’s Name Right - 7 Tips & Why You Should Care. It’s a bit embarrassing when you spell an A List blogger’s name incorrectly, and they stop by to tell you.
Ghostwriting Dilemmas - Opinion Piece. I enjoyed exploring this topic and gaining more insights into ghostrwiting.
Safeguard the Web for Children: The Power of a Writer’s Words. This one speaks for itself.
We launched our JUST ASKfeature. Mary Emma Allen of HomeBizNotes became our first JUST ASK expert. If you have a question about writing, blogging or growing your writing business, JUST ASK. If I can’t answer it, I’ll know someone who does.
We had lots of fun brainstorming collective nouns for a group of bloggers. It’s not too late to add yours, as I keep this list updated.
I began to get a taste for Group Writing Projects with What I Learned from Procrastinating. Here’s my blogging metaphor - Blogging is a Tapestry, and here’s the blog tapestry in action.
The Wordpress Plugins Candy Store was one of our most popular posts. Fake Testimonials & the Ethics of Writing and Do You Force External Links to Open in a New Window? stirred up some lively discussion.

Hey, Yvonne; great list! But I’m sorry to have to say, “Gotcha!”
Ahh… deja vu… Thanks for the catch… all fixed now.
Wow! I thought I read everything on your blog, but you found a few that I don’t remember.
I’ll take a few days to get my list together.
Great idea, Yvonne. I’d heard from someone somewhere who recommended rounding up 5 or so posts periodically on one theme, perhaps a theme a month. This meme will get me started.
Hi Laura - It was fun choosing them and reliving the journey of this little blog. We’ve covered some ground in just over 6 months. I look forward to seeing which posts you choose for yours.
Mary Emma - I’m going to do mini roundups more often now. Have fun choosing your posts for the tag.
Whoops, my blog’s name is Wifely Steps.
Thanks for the tag! I’ll make time for this, will post probably in a week. I’d want to choose the posts really well too! Now I’m off to check the links you shared in yours!
Thanks for the tag, Yvonne. I enjoyed reading your past posts. Though I had read several of them, I found some I hadn’t. I’ll post on this as soon as I get caught up on some other posts I have scheduled.
Lillie - No rush…. just when you are ready. I look forward to seeing which ones you choose.
Oh my, I’ve been delinquent checkin my emails lately and to my surprise I saw your email regarding the tag. I’m very sorry for this great delay but I appreciate the tag and look forward to doing it. I hope you don’t mind if it’s really late.
Hope you’re having a wonderful weekend. Tita Princess left yesterday. We had a lovely time together and our family will miss her.
Hi Rach
LOL - no worries. Just when you have time to do it will be great. I think it’s one you will enjoy, as it truly is a blast from the past looking through past entries. I look forward to seeing your roundup of your favorites. Great to know you had a wonderful time with Princess.
Toni - Sorry. I know the name of your blog very well. My mind and my typing fingers obviously weren’t synchronized
All fixed now.
