Last One

Last one.  And that is a good thing.  Some of the posts have been a slog.  The biggest problem is that I didn't have something to say every day.  Also you are committed, you have to get one out every day.  I did not have any stock piled in the event that I spent the day off grid away from the internet.  If I do this again that will be part of the plan. 

I have nothing meaningful to say today, so rather than rack my brain to come up with something clever or meaningful I am just going to write a little stream of consciousness until I become bored and call it a night.

Every other day I picked a song and then wrote something.  Sometimes I had a topic and then found a song, but the song always came first.  Today I'll pick a song when I am done.

Sam asked if I intend to keep writing, and I already said I would but I will repeat it here.  Maybe one to two a month is sustainable and fun even.  31 in 31 days is too much, at least when paired with every thing else I have to do in a normal month.  I am not saying I will never do this again, but I used up sixty-two songs, so next time maybe it will be movies, or books, or just a solid month of posting without the unifying device.

I will complain a little about the lack of feedback.  It is hard to know what works and what doesn't without feedback.  I lack the distance to critically review anything over a short time span and as Adam has correctly observed by biggest blind spot is myself.

Ok this is enough, time to pick a song.

I am going to go with Brand New Day by Sting.  Back when making your on CDs was a thing in the dark ages before MP3 players in cars, it was useful to make your own CDs.  I liked to end mine with this song.  It is a happy ending type song.  And it feels like it should be the ast song on a disc.  So it is my last song for the month.

Later

Bob
