In one sense, my first post was the 'About this blog' page. That page explains the idea behind this blog. As a first post in the typical blog post sense, this is a brief note to describe the type of posts to expect hereafter. You will find a link to this post in the sidebar. I am updating this post as new forms of writing emerge. This blog uses notes I have been making for many years. Going through them, I find there are particular categories into which they tend to fall. These reflect the different literary forms towards which my various interests have gravitated.
For the core of this blog, you should expect brief prose pieces. I aim to keep these to a length that takes only minutes to read. From experience, those interested in or studying the human body do not want to plough through excess verbiage. They want facts and ideas: things of interest to think about. They do not usually want long, winding, intricate arguments. Things of interest - even amusement - are expressible in different ways.
These include:
Each of these has a post about it. Please click on the list above for a fuller description of how I approach each of these forms of writing.
After a more frequent posting schedule during the first months of this blog's life (when I was getting things established), I have now adopted a more tentative schedule, posting on the 3rd, 11th, 19th and 27th days of each month.
