Rabbit rabbit!

For the month of September, I resolved to post every day.

A few interesting things about that:

1. To keep it all visible, none of the posts were behind a lock. This meant that things I didn't necessarily want publicly visible didn't get posted. This meant that, if the day's main activity was something I didn't want publicly visible, I posted something less relevant to my life. Hmmm.
   
2. There are some things (classified work stuff, things second or third parties don't want posted to even my friends-lock) which aren't solved by posting under a lock.
   
3. But this did get me to write some more fiction, which is good. I'll get to the other prompts eventually.
   
4. It's okay to write short things.
   
5. I did miss some days, by minutes. That's okay too. By posting just after midnite, the concept of "continual flow" was maintained.
   
6. A couple of things weren't posted in a timely manner, just so I'd have something to post the next day. That's ridiculous. I'll drop that little OCD bit on the floor, kthxbai.
   
7. I did not exercize just to have something to post. Which is probably good. But I didn't exercize at all, and my body could probably use some again.
   
8. "Doing or blogging". Yeah. Some of the past-midnite posts were exactly because I was out doing. That is obviously okay.
   
9. As it just so happens, I wasn't on any trip or other which kept me away from the internet for a whole day. It should be okay for that to happen.
   

So for this next month, I'm going to continue the concept of "post every day", without the actual stricture. The main thing is to see whether I can keep contact with this medium, or whether I wind up not posting for extended lengths again. Some posts will be locked, so "you" won't necessarily see them all.

But I will.
