What's a "MiniBest?"What it sounds like: A "Best" that's not accompanied by all the frou frou of all these other lists and Whodathunkits? and meandering lengthy essays that could benefit from some severe editing (or medication. Either one.)
I like to write, and I especially like writing on here, but creating those longer posts takes time and every now and then I'm expected to work/parent/be a productive member of society, and because of those expectations, I don't get to write on here as often as I could.
To help fill the void in between those lengthier posts, I've decided to institute "The MiniBest," which will be a periodic "Best" nomination interspersed throughout the others. Each month will have a "MiniBest" theme.
