Comments On My Comments, Anyone?

One week under my belt. Which is loads better than 'over my belt' as this seems to imply there might be flesh-spillage occurring at my waistline. Not the imagery I wish to invoke in your fertile minds. I AM living in Murfreesboro, Tennessee - the home of MTSU. Though the official version is 'Middle Tennessee State University,' I've heard many a reference to an alternate moniker - 'Muffin-Top State University.' Tennessee managed to finagle a cameo role in an edition of National Geographic magazine which dealt with obesity in the United States . . . there was a list or two and we were NOT included in the 'Top 10 Fittest States in America.' But I digress.

As I was writing before I so rudely interrupted myself, there are seven posts in my blog. That is one minor hurdle cleared. It is time to add another element to the endeavor. Build on to the disciplinary process. And, for this I need the input of any reader out there willing to comment before heading back to Facebook or Twitter. 'Kay? Thanks!

I'm thinking the blog could use structure. Nothing too rigid. Perhaps an outline which would stimulate my thought process and challenge me to exercise more of my creative writing skills. For me, pounding out a few hundred words on a moment that caught my attention is hardly a challenge . . . making the time is the challenge. But, I've shown myself there are enough hours in the day if I choose to make it so. (I see myself tumbling down the long grassy slope much like the hero in 'The Princess Bride,' yelling out to my life standing at the top of the hill, "A-a-a-s yo-u-u wi-i-ish-h!") I need to clear a second hurdle.

Writing a specific piece for a specific purpose is a tad more difficult. Knowing I may not be moved by my subject presents a need for more than talent and eagerness. Gotta have discipline and direction. Focus, sensei. Wax on and wax off. Here is where you, dear reader, enter the building.

I see each day of the week having a particular function: day one as freestyle opinion-piece; day two as Gary in some way; day three as topic suggested by one of my readers; and thus and so.
This is where I need your assistance. Besides needing a list of suggested topics - you can suggest ANYTHING, person, place, thing, known or unfamiliar to me, to you, and I will select from the offerings - there are four more days left in the week! As brain fog is yet hovering about me as thick and heavy as a fall morning on the San Francisco Bay, my ideas are unable to see their way to the outside world.

That's it in a hatbox, folks. Help me. I look forward to your most treasured and tantalizing input. Feel the freedom to make me laugh, cry, catch my breath, cuss you out . . . feel f-r-e-e.
