Creative process is ongoing

Starting out had some assumptions about how things might go with this blog, and have been correcting as reality manifested itself, keeping goals of the blog in mind. It is focused commercially which keeps me from just posting anyway when it's clear not moving well in that direction.

And since I need commercial writing and a place to talk commercial efforts when they emerge its position is secure, while a creative process of figuring those things out continues.

Meanwhile it IS possible that there may be scheduled postings which would be announced on Sunday. And no such announcement today.

Commercial viability will mean LOTS of readers. For those who came along early, maybe in the dozens, your interest is appreciated! Just need to multiply your numbers by at least a hundred or thousand or so, and then blog will be what it's supposed to be, commercial.

Something in the effort

As much as challenge can seem distant it is interesting to me how often it's easily found. But what value in it? And on Sunday started thinking to myself, could I embed a challenge which was answered for me with the effort?

Here is the result:


And I started typing that tweet wondering if I could do it, with the tweet itself and succeeded.

I know it is perfect 140 characters as Twitter tells you as you're typing it, but guess helps to show for others so went to a program to get a count:



Which is the kind of quick mental exercise that can be a challenge for those who are on Twitter who find it of interest. But why bother? I wonder that often with things.

And I think there is something in the effort as it has to tell you something about yourself. And maybe others as I like to think it says something about me. How hard is it to do?

Not sure. But does that matter really?

But what if I had failed? Well then, you wouldn't see this blog post now would you? Because if I had failed, I wouldn't have done it.

So as Monday progresses and the remaining days of the week, like it or not, challenges will appear. And what effort will I bring? I'd like to think I'll do my best.

Happy Chinese New Year

Heading into the Chinese New Year which I is already being celebrated somewhere in the world am sure.

And have a blog post for this week, for Monday ON day.

New plan is to announce on Sunday. Which is ok, but haven't figured out how I'd title in general. So on my to-do list, while for this Sunday will go with the holiday.

Happy Chinese New Year!
