Don’t know if it’s my best piece, but that one really touched me. It’s about meditating with my ginger cat, Crosby. Hope you like it.

As I eyeball the things I wrote in 2009, I conclude two things: I did not write as much as I expected to write, and I wallowed in memories of the past.

The one retrospective piece that I’m most happy with is at http://www.tomsalzer.net/2009/01/what-value-intuition.html

But I wouldn’t say I’m happy with, just more happy than my other posts!

The good news? I have plenty of room for improvement :-)

There is a treasure trove in the comments to my post. I’m delighted to see good writers honing their skills!

Here’s a challenge to you all:

I’m interested in a guest post about these comments – along the lines of ‘What WTD Readers Write’. Anyone want to tackle that?

If you are, email me here: writetodone[at]gmail[dot]com

PS Please don’t be nervous about approaching me about a guest post. I’m always happy to train new guest posters.

“If you want to write a publishable piece of fiction, you need to write lots of unpublishable rubbish first. Things you would never admit you wrote.”

I had the idea of looking for my best blog post of 2009 yesterday and when I found this post today I just had to comment. Didn’t take me long to find a blog post that still resonates strongly with me because I didn’t write much last year. Turns out I wrote more after I penned these sentences in June, though.

My best piece of writing this year, or at least my favorite, was a fictional piece about a raccoon’s search for meaning, “Bad Boy Brook”. http://a1audiovideo.wordpress.com/2009/10/31/bad-boy-brook

My best piece of writing in 2009 is undoubtedly one or two passages in the novel – the first of a new series “Hunters of Men”. I have hopes of publishing them one of these days so I cannot share on the Internet at the moment. I can only say that when I get out of my own way, sometimes I astound myself.

Writing movie reviews makes it a bit hard to chose what was my favourite piece because often my feelings towards a movie will reflect in the writing. The piece which I found easiest to write and for me flowed most naturaly was a review I did on Under the Tuscan Sun. It's a review which I still enjoy reading from time to time and use to motivate myself when I am struggling for words.

Thanks for getting me thinking about this. The best post I wrote this year talked about what it is like to have untreated sleep apnea. It can be found at http://www.thedifferentdrummer.net/the-different-drummer-journal/2009/2/8/miles-to-go-before-i-sleep-part-2.html.
