Well, I treat posting…
Well, I treat posting on my website more like pleasure reading than like Mass: if I can’t get together the energy to do it on a given day that’s too bad but it’s not a mortal sin. But if I’m feeling lazy and want to post something, I usually resort to:
Link farms — sometimes a lot of stuff builds up that I want to mention but don’t have more than a couple sentences to say about. Sometimes this falls naturally into themes; other times not.
Quotes. Lots of quotes. I pick up a book (preferably one with material that’s not already online) and pull out a quote and put it online. There’s 1,000s of years of literature out there and a lot of it is by people who are more interesting than me, so I enjoy turning the space over to them every now and again.
And, if I do have energy, but just don’t have anything very topical to talk about, there is always:
- Digging up old comments — those that could use a longer, philosophical response, and reply to them at length.
Anticopyright.
