"That's A blog!"

Categories
Entertainment Blogs

I've been writing this Friday With Fred blog for nigh on 20 years and, truth be told, the well is far from dry :)

Some of my fellow Gotham bloggers wait to write until the night before or morning of their weekly blogging day. Not me. 

I strike when inspiration hits me and in this case I'm doing it only a day after my well commented upon "Social Media Intercourse" blog appeared in this space. 

Ideas come to me in the shower, in predawn hours before getting out of bed and in conversation (especially with Thursday blogger Ben Geizhals who sets up my blog) when the idea sparks the exclamation "That's a blog!"

Thank you loyal readers and participants for your ample comments.  Responding to them is a big part of the social media intercourse experience. 

As I write this, the idea struck me that I would love a leather bound volume or volumes of all my blogs!

Maybe the Comment Counting Commissioner can make it happen :)

Do you have copies of all the blogs going back 20 years?
Paul Napolitano

What is it about showers that gives you great ideas? That’s where I get most of my ideas.
Daniel Schwartz

I agree, writing comes in spirts and when it flows, you need to write it down. You never know where and when the mind travels to and inspiration comes from
Shelley Simpson

I get my best ideas while running. And I recommend pleather bound - more appropriate and potential for the Gotham green Award.
Kelly Welles

Great idea! I have often thought Gotham Blogs would make a wonderful slice of life compendium...a kind of ode to the not-so-common man's reaction to today's rapidly unfolding and often overwhelming world disorder and how our little Gotham ship weathers the storm laughing all the way.

I type the ideas onto a Notepad on my iPhone as they come to me. Then Saturday morning I sit down to write. Occasionally, as the idea comes to me , so does the entire blog. And I will write that down on my Iphone. Those are generally my best blogs, when they write themselves.

I know what you mean. It's like they're just out there whole and you just need to hook them!
