The State of the Blog: May 2006 posted by Martin
Human secularists, satanic majesties, crimson overlords and clarified-butter dharma dolls, welcome to the State of the Blog for May 2006. May was a month of 21 posts, an average of .67 posts per day, which is a sequential kind of number. A memory of the Summer of Love, in that number. A memory of a to-do list overflowing with actionable items.
The month began with the tail end of the Radical Idea approach to stopping an argument. In good form, we made some rules, and then discussed them for quite awhile to make sure they reached the patented Spitball! gold standard of needless complexity.
Once that was done, we finished up our Round 10 discussions about which stories to move forward, and then moved on to Round 11—which started by defining the “in a world” scenario that we never did define for Terminal Connection when we created it as a frankenstein story idea.
Starting this month, character bios for Round 11—which, according to our new rules will not be an either-or proposition, but instead a situation where both could potentially move forward.
I don’t know about you, gentle reader, but when I think of how close we are getting to actually starting the writing, I get a little excited, in culturally acceptable ways. Won’t you join me and let’s be excited together in culturally acceptable ways?
