Blogs I Like (and You Might, Too)–3/19/24

Hey, everyone. I’m introducing a new feature here where I showcase blogs with fewer than 500 subscribers which I think deserve more attention. I plan on posting every week or two if possible. Hopefully these blogs will spark your interest and you’ll check them out. It’s my way of spreading awareness of talented writers whose work I admire.

This week’s featured blog is Petrichor Archive. Author Sam Borromeo Villalobos is an adventurous writer whose deeply introspective work and uncanny wordplay really stand out.

From her blog:

“Created after coming to a head with the daily grind and deciding there was necessity in a creative source of venting about the activities surrounding the day-to-day. Frustration with the mundane, and roadblocks present. Emotion persisted and I found myself helpless to the constant evaluation stuck in my mind. Ever present with a dialogue to share and inexplicably confined to my own wits to share it with, I decided to look no further than share with the public and hope there is some remedy in this mediation.”

Sam is also a dedicated student of the works of Edgar Allan Poe, as evidenced in her recent poem “Poe at 13.”

An unique and intriguing reading experience awaits at Petrichor Archive. I hope you’ll take a few moments to explore Sam’s creative work.

Let’s spread the love and support our fellow bloggers.

    1. Thanks, Melissa. Yeah, my own blog isn’t very big at the moment as far a subs are concerned, and I still recall the early days when I wondered if anyone would ever read my work. I just want to help some fellow writers if I can. We’re all in this together, eh? 😊

    1. Thanks so much, Cassa. Community is important. This community has been so kind to me over the past two-and-two-thirds years, so I’m just hoping to return the favor and maybe help some fellow writers like Sam. 😊

    1. A WordPress “swimming pool” sounds like a good idea. I suppose I joined WP a little too late to see that feature (I can’t swim anyway, although I guess it wouldn’t matter in this case!). Thanks for your kind words, my friend! 😊

      1. I am most definitely am, as I am catching up and trying to deter myself into a vacation. Have a new piece locked and loaded from yesterday, but I’m saving after my shenanigans that kept me up through the night and into the afternoon sun. I’m looking forward to sharing it soon 😊😌
