Every writer in the index by years since their earliest evidence. This writer: 13, from the earliest date the crawl saw. The index reads front pages, so it sees most writers as younger than they are.
Single words from their own pages, weighted by how rare each is across the 4,473 sites in the index. The small number is how many sites in the index use the word at all. Never a line of the writing.
7 writers in the index keep a link to this site. What they call it is printed as they wrote it.
They link to Elizabeth Gauffreau, my inspired life. Kept on the same blogrolls: Myths of the Mirror (3 of the same writers link to both).
ranked here because: still publishing · essays, stories, or poems · vouched by 8 other writers
Why search does not surface this site, and why that is the machine's problem.
Hearts show once a writer reaches three. No account, no cookie.
Every figure on this page was measured from the site itself and says where it came from. Nothing is quoted from the writing and nothing is written by a model. Something wrong? One email corrects it: hello@longhandalmanac.com. Want out of the index? Same address, or two lines in your robots.txt (how), and this page is gone the next morning.
