The Back Cover
The letters you write but never send, the pages you tear that no one has read,

The Background Story
Hey there, I’m pretty sure this isn’t the first time, but here goes…
I’m spreading the blogger appreciation by nominating awards to 15 people, and you’re one of them.
Check it out here if you may:
https://shutupandcreatesomething.wordpress.com/2013/09/03/versatile-blogger-wordpress-family-awards/
You have all created an incredible site. Your ability to bind so many thoughts, pictures and, well, philosophical turns so cohesively is a wondrous thing to behold. I have enjoyed my visit and will most assuredly return.
Comments like this inspire us to go on.

I’m so thankful that your comment on my blog has led me here to yours. I’ve fallen in love with it. Perfection. Thank you.
Thank you, too! 🙂 Your comment made us smile. 🙂
I am beyond words.
a) I read every single post up until this point, just now. Literally. All of them.
b) I just feel like crying.
c) I am ridiculously happy that you found my blog, made that one tiny comment, and I clicked on yours.
d) I am completely in love
e) I don’t know what else to say. There is more to be said but there aren’t words to express it. I’m just going to sit here in my state of almost-crying.
Thank you…

Hej from Sweden,

What a cool idea, I love it! Thanks for the visit to my blog too 🙂
Thanks for dropping by!
Thanks for stopping by my blog. Your blog is really interesting and a beautiful idea.
Welcome to our blog, Lilian! And of course, thank you. 🙂 Feel free to visit again soon! 🙂
Now that I’ve persued your blog, I’m rather flattered that you found your way to mine. I also now understand why you could so clearly read between the lines on that Christmas post – you read the story I didn’t really tell.
you read the story I didn’t really tell.—Oh yes! 🙂 I’m so glad to have found your blog. Thanks to MJ and his list of “Academy/Emmy/Pulitzer”-winning blogs! 🙂
im inlove with your posts.. nice blog mate! got one as well but haven’t got a time to update it but soon i will. thank search engine for bringing me here 🙂
Wow! What an interesting blog you have all created here. Thanks for checking me out after being Freshly Pressed! I will be sure to come back for your lovely photos and musings, they’re great. Well done.
Feel free to drop by anytime you want! As for your blog, I know I’ll be checking it out on a regular basis. It’s so helpful! 🙂
Thank you for your comment. And thanks for bringing me here. This blog is amazingly simple in the idea of a collaborative effort between a small group of people – writers and shooters.. I will follow your musings and images from here on
Thank you, too! And welcome here. 🙂 I looked at some of your posts, and I love your shots. 🙂
*love* the photes and the words. Thank you for commenting on my blog…and leading me to yours.
Thank you, dear. And of course, welcome here. 🙂 Please do feel free to come back for more visits! 🙂
Thanks for coming by so I could find your blog. It’s terrific. Pithy, in a word.
No problem! Your photos are beautiful.
Somehow I never got the meaning of the Background Story. It’s meaning itself. But your blog is so cool, a very nice and unique blog. What you only need is to publish it all and we’ve got a second Book of Proverbs, love edition.
We would love that! Except we might have to change the title or else be accused of blasphemy! 😛
I like what you’ve got going on here, it’s a refreshing read. I’ll be interested to see what you post in the future!
Thank you! Your sharks are quite fun so I know I’ll be visiting often. (=
I am glad…it’s sad to think of stories that are never told, so much potential, so much creative effort that somehow does not make it…why? I fear it is because of fear itself. Thanks for being brave. 🙂
Thank you for the nice words and the visit! :)Yes, I do agree it has something to do with the writer’s version of stage fright.
I have nominated you for the Versatile Blogger Award.
Go to my post https://agapintheclouds.wordpress.com/2011/11/20/versatile-blogger-award/ to see how it works. Keep up the great writing 🙂
Thanks, Martin! ❤
Love it. Absolutely Love it.
