December 11 marks the one year anniversary of this blog, Kristin Has Two Eyes. And in case, after a year, you have yet to notice that the blog's title is a pun, please do so now. I literally have two eyes on my face through which I observe the wonderful stuff this world offers me to write, and I also have two i's in my name. As in, "How do you spell your name?"
"Oh, well, thanks so much for asking. Kristin has two i's"
Over this past year, I have published 60 posts and drafted many others. I believe my writing has matured over this time and I truly appreciate you all reading, commenting and being my audience. I would not have grown without you.
The blog has been visited over 11,000 times and has received over 800 comments (OK, some of those where mine.) I am looking forward to another 12 months of essay and anecdote, flash fiction and a bit of fun. If we are all lucky, The Video Game Voyeur will return in some fashion. She obviously has two eyes as well. Regardless, I hope you come along for the ride and invite others to jump on along the way.
Here is a sampling of some of the blog's "best" this year.

Funniest: She Refused
Remember when I basically sat naked in the dermatologist's office? Yeah. That one.

This blog won me my first and only Jury Prize at Yeah Write. And it landed me on the top 60 posts of all time over there as well. It was also featured on Project Underblog, a blog dedicated to highlighting smaller sites like mine.

Most Viewed: I May Be An Idiot, But So Is The Lady At The Post Office
Somehow, this post has been hit over 1300 times. WAY more than most of my other posts. Maybe lots of people get online to complain about the post office?

My Favorite: Uninvited
I don't know if this is my all-time favorite post, but it is right now. It tells the story of getting to know a complete stranger, interacting with someone face-to-face in this busy, tech-crazed, rush of a world.

And last, but not least, a great, big shout out to my fabulous friend M. Kendall Ludwig for my brand new blog design. She always makes me look good. If you need a "blog-lift" like I did, find her at CurlyRed.
Do you have any favorite posts from this year? What would you like to see on the blog in the next?

DeleteIt's hard for me to tell how your writing has grown this year, Kristin...because it was so good from day one. Happy anniversary, and keep writing - about anything that moves you, because that moves us as well.
