I’ll write a new post everyday in November; the most I’ve done in a one month period. Care to join in and match that output? There won’t be any prizes, but the benefits to one’s blogging might be enough to give it a shot. And we can do some linking or other standard forms of blogging ettiquette. Whatever suits. But the posts cannot be pre-written; it must be all new material.

words are for playing around to have fun, they cannot explain anything, they should not. in its most beautiful form they are literature and may have a granule of truth in it. By the way I am an artist at the age of 43.
Black Poem
Self be your lantern,
Self be your guide -
Thus spake Tathagata
Warning of radios
That would come
Some day
And make people
Listen to automatic
Words of others
and the general flash of noises,
forgetting self, not-self. -
Forgetting the secret. . . .
Up on high in the mountains so high
the high magic priest are
swabbing in the deck
of broken rib torsos
cracked in the rack
of
Kallaquack
tryin to figure yr way
outa the calamity of dust and
eternity, buz, you better
get on back to your kind

…and yet, in the end, all one is left with is sound. And those sounds may be crafted in such a way as to bring a point to infinity, as in the most beautiful literature.
The point may dissolve, but the sounds still seem to arise.
Good luck on the quest, Takuin
I posted over 30 a month, often over 40 for 5 months earlier this year. Not as a goal but simply as so much asked to be said. Not daily but often. Sometimes several on a theme.
That did indeed increase readership, attracted new readers, and so on. A few articles were dugg by others, creating large spikes. But those readers were skimmers. They didn’t follow links or stay to explore for the most part. Just touch and gone.
It is very curious. The drive to write dropped way back recently and 2 other blogs I follow also went way down in posts. It will be interesting to see how yours goes.
Davidya,
I have never been a prolific post-er. But I suppose this is more out of curiosity than anything else. I’ll be watching carefully to see what happens.
