'Forget all the rules. Forget about being published.
Write for yourself and celebrate writing.'



Melinda
Haynes

"Explanations always call for deep thought. But when you actually dream, be as light as a feather. Dreaming has to be performed with integrity and seriousness, but in the midst of laughter and with the confidence of someone who doesn’t have a worry in the world. Only under these conditions can our dreams actually be turned in to dreaming."

Don Juan in Carlos Castaneda’s The Art of Dreaming

As with dreaming, so too with blogging.  Oh, you can be as ponderous or clever or politically incorrect or intrepid or seductive or fancifully didactic or as preachingly trenchant as you want with the words of blog.  But when it comes to posting, to the act of blogging itself, if you want to remain fluent and light and unstuck to the blogful (xangan) accelerant which draws all towards its gravitational core, into its addictive vortex, into a grinding necessity to "make the rounds", repeat (or, better yet, sing): "I have plenty of nothing, and nothing's plenty for me."
