Spontaneity, serendipity and simplicity.
Today I'm beginning an experiment simply because I was challenged by a podcast. Listening to Description: Valerie in Toronto, a podcaster I met at Podcaster's Across Borders, held in Kingston this past June. I learned about a challenge to podcasters called National Podcaster's Post Month, where people are encouraged to post their podcast every day through November and keep it under 10 minutes.
I
don't know what the other restrictions for posting are, but it doesn't
matter because it's November 6 and I'm posting on my host not theirs,
so I can do what I want.
But it's not simply because of
Valerie's post that I'm choosing this challenge. I picked up a book
recently by Chris Orwig, a photographer and teacher, which I mistakenly
referred to as Visual Photography, a bit redundant that, right? It's
called Visual Poetry and his premise is seeking ways to reinvigorate, inspire and step outside your creative routine. Take some risks.
So
talking without the intention of editing, without even a clear idea of
what I plan to say is a big risk for me and I'll post as consistently
as I can, each day from this point forward until my I reach the limit
on my server or I can't take it anymore. I don't even think I'll write
these long show notes. I'll just try to keep everything to a minimum.
Just the links maybe, like CBC Radio Spark Episode 90.
