I wrote entries for about half the days of the calendar during 2009, then filled in a lot of gaps during 2010 as the dates rolled around again. In 2011 Scriptorium Daily added the little \u201cOn This Day\u201d sidebar, and I filled in a few more of the gaps as they cycled by. They\u2019ve helped keep the \u201cDaily\u201d in \u201cScriptorium Daily.\u201d<\/p>\n

Now that 2012 is here, it seems like it\u2019s high time to complete the series and have all 365 days covered. If you collate all the entries from the past three years (see my notes page here<\/a>, if you\u2019re interested), you get a pretty good run of essays, with no major gaps showing up until April. After that, June, September, and November will be needing some work.<\/p>\n

So I do hereby announce my intention to finish out the series this year, writing the remaining essays for the series. I\u2019ll also keep posting the daily links on Twitter (@FredFredSanders) throughout 2012, and long-time readers are duly warned that most of those will be re-runs.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
