Tar Heel Tavern #57: Looking Back
For the Tar Heel Tavern this week, I asked bloggers to submit a blog entry that was an example of memoir blogging, or writing about some past mement, event or turning point in your life. Here’s what’s come in so far:
- At More about me, Bora writes about the lessons he learned as a child. He and his brother “learned how to live and thrive under authoritarian regime, and how to subvert it from within. I think that was the most important formative experience of my youth.”
- At Yard Birds, Billy the Blogging Poet explains how a buddy picked up a nickname by staying on his screaming 750 Trident.
- At The Lifestyle Chronicles – Memories, Dr. Marcus Newberry recounts a “a lull in the flow” of an emergency room.
- At Daddy, Zha K writes beautifully about seeing the world: “Children absorb what is around them. They notice everything, especially the minute.”
- At February, Laura recalls a Valentinogram and how it changed her life. “The turning point, for me, was on a snowy, February Saturday in my senior year in high school.”
- At Buttons, I unearth a picture of me at age 2, campaigning for a Congressional candidate.
If you’ve got a post that shares a story from your life, send it to me at zuiker@gmail.com. The StoryBlogging initiative will always be on the lookout for your stories.
Next week, the Tar Heel Tavern moves to … well, looks like we’re still looking for a host. If you’d like to host the Tavern, contact Bora posthaste.
