Last week my friend Andrew Smith looked after the site and published three posts worthy of your time:
- Learning storytelling from a Sitcom writerĀ — a longer piece that perfectly dissects the story-writing process
- A first hand account of foreclosure
- How not to screw up your career
I’m now back home and free from jet lag, so your norĀmalĀ serviceĀ here atĀ Lone GunĀmanĀ resumes tomorrow.
Please join me in thankĀing Andrew for his posts.

Are these summary posts worth doing then? What do you get out of them? Just curious!
I do think they’re worth doing, for one reason: when I get around to writing my Year in Review post it will provide me with a single location (per author) I can point to when mentioning these guests posts.
Example: see the end of Year Two in Review.
I know that I could use the built-in author page, but I’m leaving my options open for having the same guest author in the future without making anything confusing (for me or readers).
It’s also a nice way of making my appreciation known.
In summary: I’m seriously lazy and can’t be bothered to think of/code a more elegant way to achieve the above. Suggestions welcome!
You could mint a special tag for each mini-series?
It’s a nice thought, but then for a sequential series of posts — such as David’s How to Internet series — the default order (DESC) would be incorrect/illogical.
Again, without some customisation (that I’m too lazy to do), the optimal solution seems to be a short postā¦
