Thanks to [On Deciding . . . Better log] for posting the link to the [NYT] Working with Jerry article observing (among other things) Seinfeld's process for creating fresh material. During one of his daily creativity exercises, the comedian admits: "This is really a crazy idea, you know," he says. "It probably won't work, but that will be interesting, too. You have to motivate yourself with challenges. That's how you know you're still alive. Once you start doing only what you've already proven you can do, you're on the road to death." The comedian's techniques for evolving mundane life into stand-up bits is chronicled in a documentary titled "The Comedian". The release is scheduled for this October.

Just when I start to think that this weblog, while a keen experiment, has run its course, someone's post takes the words right outta my brain: ...This means though that at some point every blogger will face issues of equilibrium. You discover what "too much blogging" means if you don't have a rock solid way of managing the time and effort invested.

Backing off and taking a deep breath can help restore the swing of new ideas in and new thoughts out. [Radio Free Blogistan]
