"now, if you can only turn toward producing something akin to a narrative" saith the sage.

Yes, I realize that an episodic stream-of-consciousness doth not ipso facto a compelling narrative make, but:
-- developing the habit of writing anything frequently [other than overtly commercial marcomm prose] feels like a positive
-- the exceptionally convenient mechanism for capturing continual snippets of expression and compiling them in this way is clearly exhilarating; thousands of people have been taken by it (I'm just very very late to the party)
-- and I can use some exhilaration right now
-- one can set up multiple Blogs, for free, so one (or more) can be dedicated to The Compelling Narrative
-- each posting could be a chapter or other episodic element
-- I like that each "chunk" remains as a discrete editable entity

What's appealing is of course the friction-free instant link between the acts of composition and publication. This has the immediacy of email, with the intrinsic narrative power of the simple passage of time.

After all this enthusiasm, I haven't quite figured out how the dynamics of the built-in archiving system impacts my picture of this process, and won't until the first week has passed -- though in truth I could go surf to figure that out faster.

Well, the morning's tasks beckon -- going to the accountant's for a 10am tax return appointment, and finishing the Final Books for BigWake and turning them in to Ater Wyne.
