Hic Sepultus -"Here is buried..." - Truth, Meaning, and a Very Dead Sense of Humor

Thank you to all the people who replied.

What I would like now : Stay Posted. Everything (well, a lot of things) will be made clear to you in the next e-mail. THE WEBSITE, THE BLOG PROVIDER, etc.

Editors at the Present : Winnie, Easter (If you think this is presumptuous, kindly recall you haven't volunteered)

Add reports/projects to the list of possible entries.

The Way Things Look Now : It would probably be best if Writeway snatched a blog service, had moderators, members - a Team Service, according to blogger.com (Lo and behold, this idea has been confirmed by a second voice! Thanks Jay)

It would behoove you to become a member of the blog/club, because otherwise there would be a middleman between you and publication - me.

The membership will be free (most of you probably know more about blogging and its services than I do), but if you don't want the trouble of signing up or just feel like being in frequent contact with me (that would be quite odd), then by all means e-mail me your work.

I say "Writeway" and some people jump back like I said "Macbeth" during the production of the play. I won't speculate on the reasons.

Think of Wikipedia. It's an enormous growing mass of information, sometimes a little seedy, but useful nonetheless. Many different people contribute to it, and no one person shoulders the

whole burden of being Ken Jennings--did I say Ken Jennings? I meant, knowing everything. Where the topic is not available, it simply waits to be filled. No one is pressured into additional researching.

It all depends on what you want, what you know, and what you want to know.
Occasionally I read MSN's Slate Magazine. It's helpful to read commentary on the issues of the day. There are people called "Frequent Contributors" who aren't actual writers for the magazine (this may be of some interest to some of you who are wary of becoming members of Writeway) but write on a much less frequent, more informal basis.

The last time I played a computer game was years ago. :) But from my creaky memory I remember that there were levels: Easy, Intermediate, and Difficult. I usually chose the Easy level, hoarded all the supplies, squished all the bad guys, and won the game.

One day, feeling frisky, I tried Intermediate. I died within five minutes.

The point being this: I played the game. It can be easy, it can be intermediate, it can be difficult.
I've said this before. You can choose whatever level of involvement you want. You're still in the club--I mean, game. If you want a more active role, then talk to me.

That was a gaffe on my part. ^_-. Membership remains a subject of debate. As of now I see no reason to be afraid of being a member. It's just something YOU CAN PUT ON YOUR COLLEGE APPLICATION.

But I'm sure you all aren't concerned about things like that.

If you're confused (this not shameless plugging, I just can't think of examples right now) check out my blog at http://hicsepultus.blogspot.com.

I'm not a day-to-day person. The great thing about this project is that your work doesn't have to be relevant or recent. It just is.

TO DO: I would submit my "Random Essays" series. If I could develop an intelligent review for "Troy" and "Alexander" I could send that.

DO NOT DO:Don't send in parts of your chat (I should scold myself) or your very personal life. Keep that on your own blog. The rating should probably be PG-13, but so far it can be negotiated. :)
