OK, so I have 42 double-spaced pages worth of blog posts I just might be able to revise into something readable or even impressive. I need to narrow this down a bit (25 pages maximum), and would like your help. I'll list the post titles on here and set them up as links and, if you are willing, you click on a sampling and either read them or remember them, and tell me some must-includes and some must-not-includes. Or an if-you-include-this-you-must-not-keep-the-last-paragraph or two. Actually, I won't usually be keeping the last paragraph.
I also need to decide how I'm going to edit these. I realized selecting these how entirely my tone and references rely on these being blog posts. Should I try to adjust them so they read like opinion pieces, or leave in the blog qualities?
I realize this is a lot of reading if you were to go through all of them. Since this is a bleg, don't feel like you need to read them all.
Oh, right, criteria: I want to convince professional writers that I am already decent at writing and also have potential to be even better. They are looking for something we my own opinionated voice, not something formal (ie. academic) or journalistic. I hope that my Fiction and Children's Lit sections will already be pretty strong, but this section will be important too.
Thanks!

You guys haven't commented yet? I posted, what, half an hour ago already!
Nevermind. I'm pretty much ready to send this off now.
If it isn't yet Tuesday, I'll still take advice, but I'm not actively seeking it any more.
So if you had decided, for some reason, to discuss this at such a date, I hope you read this and note that I have now in fact sent my application away. However, I might put these in the sidebar as a "My Favourite Posts" sort of a thing, for wanderers new and old.
