100 38 Things that you shouldn’t put in your blog.
I use Blogger.com’s random blog feature. I have found some great stuff, but I am beginning to detect patterns.

This is so silly.
blog what ever you want. If you build it they will come. I’m guilty of a lot of those “violations” and I still get some modest traffic. As banal as my blog is I’m guilty of bad spelling, punctuation and repitition. Yet people still flock to my Blog. Not in huge numbers or anything and I certainly see no appeal in why anyone would want to visit my blog much less return to it except maybe for comic releif. That said, Blog what ever suits your fancy although talking politics and religion are tboos over at my modest blog operation too.

Of course it is. I was having fun. I am guilty of many of these things myself. I had to start a separate blog just for the damn cats.
I check out your blog for the creative drama that you let the world see. I like reading about your struggle. I see the rest of the stuff as you just twidling your thumbs, waiting for the next great idea.
Thanks for the kind words.
Struggling over adversity I guess is what it’s all about. But the peice you put up was fun to read.
Good stuff.
As for the next big idea, I’m reworking an old story I had done last winter about 8 drafts ago. I did some research learned a few things and I’m reworking the story. Slowly. It’ll get done this summer.
