This is a blog dedicated to the daily (or thereabouts) journaling of the art endeavors of a growing cast of characters. Everyone posts each day what they've done artistically in the hopes that tomorrow they will do something again.

I would not myself trust this kind of scheme, if I hadn't spent the last hour writing something for my first post- which is exactly one hour more time on creative writing than I've spent in the past two weeks. This blog is an attempt to get a very loose community of creative folks to think about and report what they have done as artists every day, or some workable time index approximating every day. There is, of course, something very arbitrary about "every day" as a measure of artistic involvement. Nevertheless, in that so many of the other demands upon us, like work, are daily, I thought it might be useful to see what place art has in that scheme. The advantage of trying to post every day is that we may each be able to construct, in retrospect, a picture of what countervailing forces have, over the course of some blog time, kept us from doing art at the level of immersion we might have wanted, or, conversely, we may be able to discover what forces prevailed in a given blog period in getting us to creative fruitfully.

The idea of making it both public and a group effort is two-fold: it creates that important sense of duty and accountability that we can never seem to get out of ourselves alone, and it will, I hope, be a very cool way to hear about each other's projects and endeavors as they unfold. Instead of asking cliched questions of each other at parties, "what are you working on these days", we can see each other's work unfold.

This venue is going to obviously favor those of us who work in text, but feel free all and everyone to link us to any outside sample of current work in other web media.

Thanks for stopping by or contributing.
