The most inspired post by Hugh McLeod ever, amongst some pretty damn inspired stuff, is his thread on 'How To Be Creative'. I was going to blog it a week ago when it was fresh, but I kinda got too busy and didn't. Now it's everywhere and I'm late, again, and he's been adding essays and oh hell, here's the link, just in case if you are one of the two people left in the blogosphere who don't already know about it.

Argleton
Matt is fascinated by the story of Argleton, the unreal town that appeared on GeoMaps but which doesn’t actually exist.

Well, as I am not a part of the blognoscenti I hadn't seen this.
Possibly the most useful advise I have seen on the subject despite years of reading and joining writing classes, both real and online.
I never read it before either. Damn, not only is my career dead, my life useless and my sex life non-existant, I'm not even within the blogosphere. and that article was rather depressing – you mean I'm not going to get fame and fortune overnight? Damn…
Oh, don't be daft – I'm not part of the blognoscenti either. Just kinda hanging on to their coat tails.
Join the club… 😉
I merely watch as they stroll by and then I have a snooze.
