So I have 29 Ask Nicola questions left in the queue. Which means that a month from now there will be nothing to say. One of three things can happen
- you send me some more questions
- I close this blog down
- I convert it to a more general blog

I really like the Ask Nicola questions. There is already MySpace for general blogs, yahoo for general discussions and gemeacca for specific blogging. I would like to see this stay as it is for questions. You get questions from all sorts of people from all sorts of places and I think it's great.
ReplyDeleteTo keep answering questions I have to keep being asked questions. I haven't had any for a month or so. So in four weeks, there'll be nothing left to answer.
ReplyDeleteReading what Kelley is up to and musing on Ask Nicola are the only reasons I enter a computer these days. That won't always be so, but it is a mighty fine pleasure now. I enjoy reading how your brain meets puzzles. Your ease with language and ideas and experiences inspires me to stay interactive with others through my days and ways; it's wonderful to provoke and then listen to each other as friends, lovers, students, teachers, community. I do wonder, Nicola, what is YOUR burning question? What would you ask the Buddha under the Bo tree, the saint on your doorstep disguised as wise old crone, or the wizard permitting your entrance into the darkest possible cave.
ReplyDeleteThat's a very good question; one I'll ponder and put in the queue. Thanks for asking.
ReplyDeleteAnd I'm delighted you're enjoying this. I am, too.
I vote for keeping this blog open. Turn it into a general purpose blog including the questions. I don't think MySpace is a good blogging platform.
ReplyDeleteI've been enjoying reading your responses although at times I have been amazed at the questions/comments (wondering are these people for real?!); you seem to always find some interesting point to pursue no matter the question.
I am sure that more questions will come (one already has), and if there is a lull something else will come to mind.
One of these days, you will merge this into your new site/blog...
I agree, MySpace is not a good platform. But it works well enough for now (some good conversations are developing over there). And, yes, one day--though perhaps not for months--I'm going to build a brand new website based on WordPress and run everything from there. Until then, though, I'll just see how traffic is at various places, see what readers/users want and muddle along.
ReplyDeleteI have a question: can I buy you a drink if we're ever colocated? Just as a thank you for the great pleasure I've gotten from reading your books.
ReplyDeleteAre you kidding?? Of course you can buy me a drink! Love to be bought drinks. And if you're in Seattle or Los Angeles in May there'll be a couple of opportunities
ReplyDelete...which is to say, I'll add your question to the list and answer it at greater length later.
