This whole blog-a-thon thing reminds me a bit of the idea of ‘morning pages’ as discussed in Julia Cameron’s book The Artists Way. Morning pages go like this – each morning you get your notebook and you write either three pages or for a half hour – NON STOP. The idea is that at about one and a half pages (or fifteen minutes) you’ll run out of ‘safe’ or ‘normal’ thoughts and some deeper truths will start coming out – how you REALLY feel about things, etc. With people blogging at LEAST every half hour (or if you’re a maniac like SOME PEOPLE, every ten minutes), it might reveal some interesting results, in say, a few hours, once the new edge has worn off.
