How Old Are the Winnie the Pooh Books?

A.A. Milnes’s lovable stuffed bear has been a cultural phenomenon since its first release in 1926 (almost a hundred years ago!). He’s one of the most recognizable characters in children’s literature and has appeared in many top 100 lists.

Milne based all of his characters on his own son (Christopher Robin), his son’s toys (Pooh, Piglet, Eeyore, Kanga, and Tigger), along with living animals (Rabbit and Owl), and set the story in the Ashdown Forest (The 100 Acre Wood), a real location in England.

What Does the Name Winnie the Pooh Mean?

Initially, the silly, old bear went by the name Edward Bear before the book’s 1926 debut. The name “Winnie” came after a visit in the London Zoo, where Milne saw a black bear named after the city of Winnipeg, Canada.

“Pooh” came from Milne’s 1924 When We Were Very Young, where he wrote about a swan named Pooh, whom Christopher Robin kept feeding each morning. Both names were brought together to form Winnie the Pooh, a name that’s stuck to every child’s imagination for years.

Cherishing Your Childhood

Your childhood years are important to your development as a person. This is the time where your social, emotional, physical, and educational needs form the core of your identity.

So it’s no surprise that as an adult, you’re often hit by childhood nostalgia. It’s your way of looking back at the things that made you who you are today. Sometimes it’s nice to reminisce and marvel at how we’ve turned out as human beings.

Think Pieces: What They Are and How to Write One

Image
A think piece, also known as a thought piece, is an article or piece of writing intended to stir up the reader’s thoughts. It is usually speculative, with a lot of expository material, context, and the author’s analysis and opinion of existing ideas. Sometimes, think pieces can lean toward the controversial, especially when they seek to challenge majority opinions. Particularly provocative pieces are often the ones that get shared all over social media or the internet. Editors of magazines, blogs, and websites often pay for think pieces, but they are not that easy to write. This is perhaps why many writers aspire to be published in mainstream publications like The New Yorker, The Washington Post, The Economist, The Atlantic, and The Saturday Evening Post , but their submissions barely get a sideways glance.  The good news is that getting a think piece published does not depend on your name or reputation; instead, quality is king. The key is being able to think deeply about a t...

Author Business Cards: Why You Need Them and How to Make Them

Image
The first rule for being a successful author is to write. The second rule for being a successful author is to write more. The third rule for being a successful author is to always be networking. You never know where your next fan will come from. It might be someone who finds your book on Goodreads, but it might also be the person in front of you at the grocery store or the guy you bump into when you’re out for pizza. You might get chatting with someone at the bowling alley. You might end up discussing your book at the DMV. Your next reader could be anyone, anywhere. So you need to be prepared! That’s why business cards still matter in the digital era. Although we all tote tiny computers in our pockets all day, it’s still a pain in the butt to exchange contact information on a phone—not everyone uses the same system, vCards work with contact and email programs but aren’t universal, and NFC transfers are kind of clunky. Besides, after you dump your information into someone else’...
