Freshly Pressed: Editors' Picks for October 2012
Reblogged from WordPress.com News:
Narrowing down all the fantastic posts featured on Freshly Pressed in a month to just ten is a challenge, but one that we relish -- it reminds us of how much great content you've published, and of the depth and diversity of the WordPress.com community. Here are some of October's standouts:
Silk Road Ramblings: Lost Empires, Gobi Fugitives, and The Secret Meth Habit of Marco Polo…
"Defining Crazy" got some ...um...crazy attention. I'm an editor's pick! Much thanks and humble gratitude to Michelle for believing in my writing and my message.














Congratulations! You write well, so it’s well-deserved attention.
Thank you! I always wanted to be a writer. This works.
That’s cause you are incredible ~
As in lacking credibility? Yeah.
you are procredible
why are there no likes when a person ‘reblogs’? that makes momma crazy. anyway, like, like, like! xoxo
Long live the like!! I love the like. Thanks for liking. I like you.
ditfeckin’o.
Wait, isn’t there like buttons? Other people liked.
clearly, someone has misplaced my glasses or my brains…
Yes! For future reference, you can like reblogs at the top of your window, right beside the reblog button. I’m sleuthy.
such a-holes! they can’t move things, i’m elderly.
“Defining Crazy” was one of the best posts all year! i just re-read it. Still fresh! You nailed it!
G’wan!
Thanks and thanks, and hammertime.
Good for you Sara! It was definitely well deserved. xo
Bizous! Thanks WR
I’m gonna collect in person when I get down there to see you (once I nail down a date with a clown).
Totally well-deserved! It’s like being Freshly Pressed all over again :D
Extra squished! YEAH!
Very impressive. Congrats!
Thanks. I wish I knew how I did it.
Congrats, Sara. So cool to be running in the same crowd with you!

Likewise, Cathy. Good people like you don’t come a long every day. Thanks.
Defining Crazy was one of the best things I’ve ever ready. Totally deserved. Doubly deserved. I like even if there’s no button.
Oh, Storky, you say such nice things to me. Probably because you’re hella great. Thank you.
That’s awesome, Sara! Well deserved!!
Thanks, Bumble. It’s a bit surreal, but gives me good feelings on the inside nonetheless.
It looks like I was a little late to the “Congrats on getting freshly pressed, Sara” party. I found out so late. I really need to pay more attention to what is going on around me.
Ha! You and me both, Posky. Good thing Le Clown is so plugged in or I would have no freaking idea.
I’m not surprised. I am newly introduced to your blog, but I find it captivating. :-)
Seriously? I never thought my brain thinks would be interesting to anyone but me. Yet here you are, proving me wrong. I like it. Thank you.
Of course seriously! Think of your blog as medicine for your soul – albeit medicine that YOU have generated to treat your ailments. And from what I have seen of your blog, you have a fun, playful, expressive, interesting (in both its definition of ‘holding one’s attention’ and in ‘affect emotionally’), honest, entertaining, vital, philosophical and yes, CAPTIVATING soul. :D
This day just keeps getting better, thanks!
I LOVE that whole “self-made medicine” thing. Tres empowering.
You’re very welcome. I’m just glad that I can be part of the “Celebrating Sara” event.
