Any project should have both goals and parameters.
I wrote about the goals in my first post.
The parameters are a little less interesting, but equally important.
For example, the parameters of the blog are me writing on topics of creativity, skill development, writing, music, art, and code while avoiding anything more than the vaguest of superficial mentions of politics, business or this human emotion that you call… love.
Also, my key logistical parameter is to keep my posts within sight of two hundred words. Two hundred is a digestible bit of content for anyone to read… and for me to write. It is enough words to convey a simple idea or thought while not being exceptionally onerous for a daily blog post.
(Especially true since I am already working on a daily five hundred word goal for my fiction.)
Finally, I am leaving the comments open for the moment. If you convey yourself as a real person who wants to make a serious on-topic point I may even approve your comment and reply.
But that makes for about a hundred and seventy-five words so I’d better sign off alas I break my own rules before I even really begin.
