2025 is about to be a scene in the rearview mirror. Here is a look back at the year of blog posts:
January - I began the year on a Thank You: https://westernfictioneers.blogspot.com/2025/01/thank-you.html
February - A look at my reading list and the importance of stories: https://westernfictioneers.blogspot.com/2025/02/and-next.html
March - Relevance and a rant of sorts: https://westernfictioneers.blogspot.com/2025/03/relevant-it-depends.html
April - The upcoming A250-C150: https://westernfictioneers.blogspot.com/2025/04/150-250.html
May - A look at AI and its influence? :https://westernfictioneers.blogspot.com/2025/05/andi-share.html
June - Some of my favorite opening lines: https://westernfictioneers.blogspot.com/2025/06/opening-lines.html
July - A look at some of the painters and photographers of the Old West: https://westernfictioneers.blogspot.com/2025/07/the-other-side-of-west.html
August - A deep dive into the people that caught my reading attention: https://westernfictioneers.blogspot.com/2025/08/research-reading-deep-dive.html
September - A bit about the man made 'famous' in Isabella Bird's book "A Lady's Life in the Rocky Mountains": https://westernfictioneers.blogspot.com/2025/09/rocky-mountain-jim.html
October - A look at a man who impacted early Colorado: https://westernfictioneers.blogspot.com/2025/10/sir-st-george-gore.html
November - Dr. Dunlop and her connection to the Lake County War: https://westernfictioneers.blogspot.com/2025/10/sir-st-george-gore.html
As I plan 2026, my thought is to deep-dive into the people who were involved in the effort to secure Colorado's statehood in 1869, the results, and the process that led to Colorado becoming the Centennial State. For those who have the time to read these blogs, as well as the others who post here, we hope our offerings are of some use and enjoyment.
Until next year,
Stay Safe, Stay Creative, and Stay Happy,
Until Next Time,
Doris

Dori, thanks so much for compiling this list of your blogs! I sometimes miss some of them and now I can go back and look at ALL of them when I want to. You are always so faithful in your posting on our blog and we appreciate that. I'm looking forward to next year and hoping I can do better about keeping up with my posts, using you as my inspiration. Have a wonderful holiday season! Merry Christmas!
