“Age and Amorousness” Is The Topic For The First Virtual Symposium On Sept. 2!
“Age and Amorousness” Is The Topic For The First Virtual Symposium On Sept. 2! Well, folks, the masses – or, at least, a double handful of masses – have spoken, and the topic of the first virtual symposium will be “Age and Amorousness.” Here’s how the symposium will work: All choosing to participate – a field which includes everyone who has a blog – will create something – an essay, an erotic story, a memoir, a series of one-line aphorisms, an image collage, a photo montage, a poem, or anything else – relating to “Age and Amorousness”. Feel free to take the basic idea and stretch it to as wild an interpretation as you like -- the post should reflect you! The last thing we need is a dozen monotonous texts on the same topic. Anything goes, as long as there is a trace of the original idea in the post. On the morning of Sept. 2 (a Tuesday, for those keeping score), all participants will post their creations. The idea is to create something new, as opposed to using posts to respond to other posts (although the comments section will, of course, remain fair game). Ping me, and I’ll use a post on that day to link to all posts. A suggestion: Participants may want to refer to either the virtual symposium or the topic itself in their headline. Not a requirement – there are no requirements, save for originality and participation – but a suggestion which will let the wide blog community know what we’re doing. And… this is not a contest. No souvenir mugs will be sent, nor ribbons awarded. The idea here is for those interested to, on a single day, offer an interpretation of a single topic for the sheer fun of it. By all means, encourage other bloggers to participate – and to let me know they’re doing so, either through this post or via email, so on Sept. 2 I can link to their posts. Remember, of course, to keep things in your voice! Can’t wait to see the results!

At my heart I'm a frustrated English/composition teacher.

Hey, as long as you have it more or less up around the appointed time so I can find it, all is good. As I've said before and will keep saying, this isn't a contest... it's just a series of different takes on a common topic. Delighted you'll be giving us an "across the pond" perspective, even if there is no geography in what you post whatsoever!

I'm not feeling inspired by the topic, but if an angle occurs to me before next Tuesday, I'll let you know. I'm going to burn some incense, chant my affirmations, and meditate on the white light of creativity in hopes of generating a topic. And if that doesn't work, I'm going to brew about a gallon of the strongest coffee I can get my hands on and stare at my monitor until tiny droplets of blood form on my forehead.

No souvenir mugs. We were afraid they would raise too many questions at the office. Besides, what those flamingos are doing isn't really site-appropriate... it's way too innocent! (And... just because I want to keep saying it... there is no "contest" aspect to this... it's all about sharing perspectives. Yeah, I know, buzzkill!)

Had to look up the word Amorousness. LOL As you know, I'm 'in'... As a side note, I think this is a wonderful idea. After having blogged out here for years, NEW topics always seem a bit hard to come by! This makes it east! Thanks again my friend. Well done -tm

After having blogged out here for years, NEW topics always seem a bit hard to come by! This makes it east! Thanks again my friend. Well done -tm I've found that creative energy feeds off itself: We've got some damned smart, funny, divergent voices in this little corner of the blog universe, and the idea of bringing folks together should yield some good results. If this goes well, I'm thinking we could do one of these a month or so... first Tuesday of every month, unless people have a better idea. And yes, I will still welcome all topic suggestions, and put a handful of 'em up for vote and final selection. Onward! The topic awaits!

Terrific! And yes, it should be fun on many levels... not the least of which is that we're going to get some interesting inter-blogger dialogs going...

Heh... no video games, no internet for a few days? Well... let's just say King Herod would probably sympathize with any ideas that might come up... Glad you're inspired!

Count me in. Sounds like a stimulating exercise. Remember -- and this applies to all -- to take this into some weird directions, folks... Not for any other reason than I like weird directions... Both "age" and "amorousness" can have multiple meanings!

the fucker wont stick! just go to my blog if you want to read it. First off, thank you for the contribution! I'm finding that making the links hot is a hit-or-miss proposition... so far, about half of 'em are working. I'll try to work this out... but I think it may be a site problem. Either way, I'll let folks know that your post is live. Looking forward to reading it!
