Possible topics for my participation in a month-long blog-every-day event.

Nov 29, 2006

This December, I'll be participating in Holidailies. (Signups are still open, for anyone else interested in participating!) The basic rules are:

1. I will post at least once a day, every day, from December 1 to January 1
2. every day I'll summarize my posting(s) on the main Holidailies site
3. others will get exposure to my site, and I'll get exposure to theirs

It sounds like fun. I say this knowing full well that some bloggers post several times a day every day and think nothing of it...but then again, I'm not one of them.

Thematic postings rarely work well with me. Neither do plans, as it turns out. Still, this is easier: it's once a day, not twice an hour. (Quick, everyone: gather round with some popcorn and watch as I fall flat on my keister..!)

Topics for use during Holidailies

1. the story of the neon sign (here)
2. methods of worldbuilding
3. one of my favorite Tarot decks, alternate interpretations, and ties to other forms of divination / self-analysis
4. collected holiday memories from my childhood (entry here)
5. basic blog-design usability, including accessibility
6. Ground Zero for Web 2.0
7. living with epilepsy (here)
8. comparative mythologies and philosophies
9. why I learned Chinese and Spanish; and the languages I created (entry here)
10. phrases, sentences, and paragraphs that would sound really cool in my book...if I ever were to write one (entry here)
11. the creation of a science-fiction geek (entry here)
12. quirksome things about this meme community (entry here)
    
    ...and, of course...
    
    
13. the latest cat-tales and random events (here, here, here, here)
