Fragments From Floyd

For almost three years now, there have been known and submerged needs met by Fragments from Floyd that make it an essential part of my day and my life, if not quite so central as Clark Kent here in the cartoon. (But then, you'd have to ask Ann about that.)

Soon, someone new to the medium of blogging will be able to see between two covers a hundred reasons to explain why bloggers pour their thoughts, hopes and insights into words each day.

The book, 100 Bloggers, may reach the shelves by sometime in the spring. I will be as anxious as any to see what the overall feel of it is like. I can only tell you for certain that it will contain a chapter with a thread of thought familiar to those who come to this page with any regularity.

For our chapter, I invited Lorianne Disabato of Hoarded Ordinaries. She invited Beth Adams of Cassandra Pages; and Beth invited Tom Montag of MiddleWesterner. I think its safe to say that this "place-based" focus will be just one unique thread in a diverse weave of blogging expertise and points of view.

It will be an adventure to see where this goes and what happens next. There is an unknown alchemy at work. One hundred bloggers spin their words from as many places around the world, and then in this one book, their straw may turn into something altogether unexpected!
