Where do blogs go when the author stops posting? Is there a blog heaven? How long does the blog have to wait before it can escape? What happens if it's rediscovered and ripped out of death?
This is what happens when life is too routine. I don't blog about politics; that's asking for trouble. I don't want to write just to bitch. That's not very nice to read. And this isn't the place to discuss my work: I have RuneSketch for that, though, truth be told, I haven't been posting frequently there either.
I have assignments, I do them. I take care of the domestic jobs, walk to bus stops, feed my lovely lizard (who is much better at blogging regularly than me: check out Lizards Deserve Pancakes Too and you'll see what I mean), and generally live like a hermit. Why be social when I have Facebook? Then I can be social in my holey flannel pyjamas.
Without conflict or strange occurances (I suppose actually posting could be considered a strange occurance), what is there to write about? Hence contemplating Blog Heaven.
So is there a Blog Hell too, or is that reserved for a greater evil? Idle Twitter accounts, maybe. Perhaps even active ones...
I've been struck by the idea of attempting to write a short story in 140 characters. That's the Twitter rule, right? Or there's the Othar Trygvassen method (check out Girl Genius Online for that one; good webcomic, honest) of telling a story in first person via what the narrator/protagonist would tweet. Worth giving a go, I reckon.
Except, of course, for the fact that I'd post three tweets and promptly forget about it.
