Awesome blog you have. I agree with you! More art the better! I noticed that you have a NaNoWriMo reference on your site. I just wrote a post yesterday on my blog about writing a book with some helpful resources. Just thought I’d mention it in case you might find something helpful in there.

I loved this post.

(don't you feel stressed with 1000 blog posts not yet read? That would be a whole lot of pressure for me!)

thanks for your comment about the move. I hope yours goes well, also. it's not all bad, but not all that easy, either.

I think of my blogs as a great big nit circle, and there are conversations I listen in on, and others I overlook because there’s only so much atention I have, even for fascinating rhythmns. I do go on hiatuses from time to time, and get overwhelmed when I return, but then I just start fresh with the most recent, rather that try to reconstruct everything I have missed (except for my mostest most favorites). Just like it was me sitting in a big circle, with all my friends, knitting and chatting away.
There are blogs I think of as approaching art, though, for their knitting, their pictures, or their inspiration. But they are as rare as jewels in the great wide blogosphere. Yours among them.

There’s some published material that isn’t worth reading or looking at; I like celebrating the act of creation. We have the choice of discrimination when viewing or reading the results, yes?

We once had an argument about whether democracy was self evidently good. I wasn’t sure. Neither am I sure that democratic writing is self evidently good. Partly, the reason is that the pause for self criticism and evaluation which is imposed by an editor and publisher is removed by the blog. There is no editor. There is no pause. And that pause for reflection is a good thing. I suspect that in our societies we ought to think a bit more, and talk a bit less. After all, not everything that is written is worth reading. Not everything that can be said is worth listening to. Not everyone’s opinion is legitimate.

you always manage to express the thoughts on the edges of my mind in a way that makes me gasp with delight …
