Blogocentric Formulations

Top 10s

This year, I've decided to get in fighting shape for NaNoWriMo by blogging daily. It's been a long time since I've posted anything here and, with Dee 's kind permission, I'm borrowing the idea of posting a daily Top 10 list on whatever topic I feel like creating a list for.

Here are the guidelines I've given myself:

The order will be approximate, but not iron-clad. It will be subjective depending on the day and my mood. Some days I might think Ghostbusters is the greatest movie ever and other times it might be a Se7en kind of day. If you quiz me tomorrow or next week, my Top 10 for any given list might change!

Conversation is encouraged, argument is not. I welcome comments about items you would put on the list, or how you feel about the items I've put on my list, or even what you think of my picks as a whole... but I'm not interested in squabbling over how I could possibly think that a dalmatian is a superior dog breed to a dachshund, or why on Earth I would ever leave kiwi off the list of my favorite fruits. At the end of the day, these are just my opinions and it's meant to be entertaining.

The only actual requirement for myself is that I put thought into and post the list itself. Some days I might expound on my choices, but some days I might just post the list. It'll depend on how busy the day is and how interesting I found the list topic once I really started thinking about it.

Lists will be in no particular order. One day it might be my favorite world leaders, the next it might be my favorite board games or desserts. I won't be grouping things together into themed series or anything like that, so don't be surprised if my favorite fruits show up on Day 10 but vegetables don't get their due until Day 30 (if ever).

I have no particular end date in mind. I'd like to keep this up at least until NaNoWriMo starts, but if I'm enjoying it and keep coming up with interesting list ideas, I'll keep it rolling as long as I can.

Interaction is encouraged! Please feel free to comment on my lists or even participate yourself! It's a great way to get to know one another a little better.

Okay, that's it. Nothing too formal or fancy... just a bit of fun to get me inspired to start thinking critically and writing again.
