Or maybe I should say, non-professional literary blogging. I'm just a reader, not someone who has any input when it comes to publishers, agents, MFA programs, etc. <BR/><BR/>And it can be hard to keep the art forms separated. When you posted about "the saddest book", for instance, all the saddest things I could think of were songs.AChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15077988599467518893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2046663689477874544.post-73873645948256332712008-10-14T06:25:00.000-05:002008-10-14T06:25:00.000-05:00Ha!

I wonder how many of your readers will actually believe you've been taken over by an Orwellian conglomerate. It could end up being the "War of the Worlds" of gadget blogging.<BR/><BR/>Good luck!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2046663689477874544.post-91848591894799372052008-10-13T21:08:00.000-05:002008-10-13T21:08:00.000-05:00Thank you for the link-in, jrlennon!You're certain...Thank you for the link-in, jrlennon!<BR/><BR/>You're certainly right. It's about having a fun time and doing something unusual in a medium—gadget blogging—which often finds itself mired in its compromises and daily patterns.<BR/><BR/>Readability is certainly a problem; someone pointed out that it's like trying to read 20 stories in a row at The Onion. No matter how clever it is, that's grueling if it's not your cup of tea.<BR/><BR/>It's only going to last a couple of days, however, and now that we've started moving the "plot" forward, it'll hopefully be a tighter read when we get back to it on Wednesday.beschizzahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15567215616925443668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2046663689477874544.post-46659936421907242442008-10-13T18:00:00.000-05:002008-10-13T18:00:00.000-05:00That's how I see it.

The world would be a lot more interesting if the manual to your MP3 player took the form of a detective story.<BR/><BR/>More irritating perhaps, but definitely more interesting!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2046663689477874544.post-16785996520950281232008-10-13T16:57:00.000-05:002008-10-13T16:57:00.000-05:00People long to practice the art of fiction.
