– So are you impressed?
– With what? That you've kept going?
– Well, yes. Three hundred posts. I thought it seemed quite a significant number.
– But it has taken you years to get there. Had you managed three hundred posts in, say, three hundred days, that would have been more remarkable. Or in only a month or two would have been pretty amazing. But as it is, you basically write a few lines and then decide to take the rest of the week off to recover.
– That's hardly fair. Writing a blog is an arduous activity, requiring selfless dedication and unflinching commitment, endless hours of concentrated effort to nurture the creative spark and watch it grow into a work of intellectual rigour and emotional depth. And then painstakingly to craft three hundred of them at the drop of a hat, – well, that seems something of an achievement.
– I'm sure you could get a computer to churn out random bits of text, perhaps with a few grammatical checks along the way to make sure it makes a modicum of sense, and just post that.
– But would that manage to create a work of fine literature with a message of hope and inspiration to the reader?
– Do yours?
