John Scalzi is doing something incredibly cool this month over at Whatever (http://www.scalzi.com/whatever/): he's showcasing posts from various writers who blog (beginning on Dec. 1 (http://scalzi.com/whatever/?p=166)with Steve Brust).
I, for my sins, am one of them - and am consequently now in a blue funk over which of my unworthy stupid boring posts might be able to stand up there with what he's got up there already. I mean, I just sort of mouth off when something crosses my brain - but damn, these folks are essayists! Lyrical, thoughtful, profound: Susie Bright on "Naughty Words," Chris Barzak on "Finding Myself in Japan," Brandon Sanderson "On [Philip] Pullman and Censorship" . . . . Bless you, Scalzi, for essentially editing an online anthology of some of the year's finest online thought-pieces.
Now, which of my lame-o entries shall I tender for self-promotional comic relief?
