The Storialist Turns Four

It’s strange and wonderful to think that I’ve been posting every weekday since July of 2008:

July 2008
July 2009
July 2010
July 2011

I wanted to you let know that you (readers, writers, artists, creative thinkers, bloggers, supporters) are part of the reason I’ve kept at it. Making art is not very glamorous. It is dirty and painful and tedious and frustrating and scary and draining. But, as we also know, it is also transcendent, generous, compassionate, healing.

Thank you for reading.

To my fellow makers of art (in any medium or genre): thank you for the beauty that you put into this world. Keep doing it.

  3. As your lovely note attests, your willingness to run share with us (ie let us watch when you run your latest conceptions by the severe and demanding Mr. Storialist) the creative process in search of the final poem is an inspiration to me, and to all of us. Happy birthday!

  11. Wow! 5 days a week for 4 years — that's dedication. Although I am a new reader of your blog, I appreciate your willingness to offer your fresh words daily for review. That takes heart, and a brave one at that. Thank you Hannah.

  12. Hi Hannah,

    All of your hard work is appreciated. You have enriched my world, showing me ways to think of objects and places and people in ways I wouldn't have otherwise experienced. Your writing stimulates my imagination, my thoughts and my emotions. You are a one of a kind person with many talents. Thank you for sharing so much of yourself, through words, music, essay, and artistic expression.
