Some people write in their blog daily. Others write a few times or maybe just once a week. I write in my blog in January. The last two years I told myself if I wrote every day in January it would create this incredible momentum for writing throughout the year. The actual result was that by February I was too exhausted to write any more.

This year I vow again to post creative work on my blog every day in January. Well, let's say five days a week, so I can still have Blackout Tuesdays with the family as well as day off here and there. It may be all writing, it may be photo essays, it may be original folk songs, well not folk, tragicomic folk? How about nano folk, just to keep it modern and new and interesting? It may have some podcasting, some Fruitvale cinema, who knows? The important thing is that it will be a month of reflection, of setting up my web to catch as many ideas buzzing around my brain as possible. Then I will show you the ideas. Then I will eat them (or at least suck the blood out of them).

Tune in tomorrow for day one of the eman nano blog, new and improved for 2008!
