The Old Man of the Blog

Date: Friday, May 5, 2023 11:56 AM EST

Just came up with a great idea for my next novella (actually my first novella)--The Old Man of the Blog.   Get it?  Old Man of the Sea--Old Man of the Blog.

Anyway, it is going to be about this old 70-something year old, old fart who blogged.  He went out and caught this great big fish (globanomics) and in his struggles to bring it home, he wore himself down to the point, he ended up with nothing.

I sure have a lot of great material for the novella, considering this is about my 800th blog.

Wow, 800 blogs!  Congrats. You need to throw a party at 1000.

That is an estimate, one made by going back through my history.  Talkmarkets allows me to see "ten blogs at a time" and the last time i looked their were about 80 series of 10-blogs.  

Regardless, it does not matter, some of my blogs are one-sentencers, and then some go on for three pages.  Some blogs are good, and some not so much so.  Anyway, i do have a lot to draw a good story about, which probably would draw a real lot of attention.  My royalties last month came to $0.80 and that is for everything that i have written, which includes some pretty good stuff.

I thought about the 1000th coming up, but i don't think i will make a big deal of it.  I probably won't even know when i write it.
