Editing Creation after 3 years
Out of 444 posts I kept 161. The reasons for the unpublished items varied, but the main one is embarrassment. I don't want 70 (literally) posts about Owen anymore. In other words, I have become less willing to publicly embarrass myself. Right now "Owen-esc posting" and other posts about other boys and other far away memories are where all memories should be in a photo box or hidden journal, safe for the soul.Basically I edited the contents to keep with major themes of my life thus far and to better fit who I am today.The entries themselves have not been touched besides a quick spell checking. So forgive the bad writing.
I kept all the fiction, poems, one liners, and even 18 posts about Owen, well nineteen now. But believe me this editing is not final in three years I will probably do the same.

Looks good hon! That's exactly what I've been meaning to do for at least a year... hopefully I'll actually get to it soon, 'cause I miss writing (and of course reading your stuff!).
Hope your week is going wonderfully!
I wish we could edit our lives just as easily at times.
