Plinky

I haven’t written here with much substance in a very long time–last summer, almost. And so, in the spirit of writing things, I’m giving something a try.

Plinky, recently acquired by Automattic (the WordPress people), is a site created to alleviate writers’ block. They basically provide an essay prompt every weekday as a way to spark blog entries. I’ll give it a try for a while and see how it works out. So if you see entries marked “powered by Plinky,” that’s what’s going on.

Also forthcoming: an entry explaining the images in these posts. I promise there is some rhyme, and maybe even some reason, behind them.

Whoops

OK, so I’ve got this blog, here.  And it hasn’t been touched or updated in about three months.  And I’ve offered no explanation.  Whoops.  Simply put, life has just started getting in the way of producing these ditties every day, and it seems kind of silly to make them sporadically, since the whole game was that I needed to make one each and every day.  It was an ongoing challenge, and it’s what made it fun for everyone.

So, that said, I’m not going to make the claim that Ditty a Day is dead forever.  It’s just on a temporary hiatus, until I find myself with some more steady time to actually devote to making it a regular, ongoing thing again.  Sorry if you enjoyed hearing the ditties – they’re still here, for your repeat pleasure, and there will probably be more in the unspecified future.

In the meantime, though, please enjoy this clip, showing just a little bit of what I have been up to recently.  (And come see the show on November 7, if you’re so inclined!  I’m the MD!)
