A minor insight

September 21st, 2008 by Rick Drain

It’s dawned on me:  one thing a successful blog needs is someone who wants to write frequently.

I’m more of the Mr. Ed type.  (Dating myself: “Mister Ed” was a TV show during my childhood.)  Part of the theme song  went “People yackety-yack” something-something “but Mr. Ed will never talk unless he has something to say.”  That’s about right.

If someone asks me a question, I can usually give a pretty coherent answer, impromptu or in writing.  Without the external stimulus, though, I almost never feel a sudden urge to express myself.

Knowing that, I’ll see if I can find some mechanism to extract short comments more often.
