A post a day for a month on this blog or another is my very best intention.  I think I&#8217;ll do it unless, of course, I don&#8217;t, and\/or unless, of course, I quit.<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s been some talk this week on a listserv I subscribe to about whether the blog is passe.  My blog is probably the best place for me to respond to that, but I&#8217;m not going to right now.  I need to grade some more tonight, and a blog has to pace itself if it&#8217;s really going to produce something every day.  I&#8217;ll come back to that later.<\/p>\n<p>In the meantime, here&#8217;s a piece I found at Salon about something that probably should be dying out:  <a href=\"http:\/\/www.salon.com\/life\/feature\/story\/index.html?story=\/mwt\/feature\/2009\/11\/30\/death_to_smiley\">the smiley<\/a>.  \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t have a theme in mind for my December blogging.  I just want to devote more deliberate time to writing.  I&#8217;ll probably write some to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.teacherlytech.net\">Teacherly Tech<\/a> and some to my <a href=\"http:\/\/www.writerlyhaphazardry.net\/poetry\">poetry blog<\/a>, but in any case I&#8217;ll use this blog as a kind of hub for my December writing.  I&#8217;ll cross-post anything I write for another blog.<\/p>\n<p>Sometimes I have to give myself assignments like this to keep on track.  It&#8217;s like deciding to go to the gym every day for a month just in case by the end of it you&#8217;ve become all intense about yoga and spinning and suddenly feel virtuously healthy.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s to December writing health to one and all, but mostly to me.<\/p>\n<p>**The above image is from www.morguefile.com, a great place to get free photos that don&#8217;t always require attribution.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s December 1, and I find myself with a wild<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[51],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-52","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-the-blog"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.writerlyhaphazardry.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/52","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.writerlyhaphazardry.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.writerlyhaphazardry.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.writerlyhaphazardry.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.writerlyhaphazardry.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=52"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/www.writerlyhaphazardry.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/52\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.writerlyhaphazardry.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=52"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.writerlyhaphazardry.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=52"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.writerlyhaphazardry.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=52"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
