The race to Top Story is an illusive and mysterious thing.

Just when you think you should pack up your pens and submerge your devices in sink water....that magical pride inducing, defibrillator, shocks you back to you senses. That is, if you had them to begin with.

Following in the impressive footsteps of Judey Kalchic and Mother Combs, I am going to display my 2024 Top Stories.

Not all of my top stories are ones that I thought would or should get that honorable mention, but each one brought me an immeasurable amount of pride and joy when they did.

Please be sure to open the links and expose yourselves to the incredible talents of the Aforementioned writers, who gave the idea to collect this years accomplishments into one place.

It was a treat to go back and see what I was writing a year ago and where my writing in the next year may take me.

Thank you to each and every one of you who have encouraged, critiqued and commented your way into my heart and world. You are a lifeline I never knew I needed.

Many thanks to Vocal for seeing something special in my poems.

I hope somewhere in my lyrical jumble, your heart feels seen, loved and understood.

Thank you for your time.

Merry Christmas to you all and I wish you a fabulous New Year!

With all my heart, Kelli

    A great idea to corral all your Top Stories in one place, otherwise they seem to languish on older pages of profiles. ✅ You sure wrote a stack of T.S’s! Well done🤩
