There’s always something to howl about

Blogoff Post #96: Ask the Broker: Are you glad you did this . . . ?

Here’s a question with a following, judging by the 300 unread emails in my inbox:

Are you glad you took the Sellsius° 101 Blogoff Challenge?

Emphatically, yes. BloodhoundBlog is going to end up with dozens of new, worthy posts as a result of this — call it by its right name — dumb stunt.

I normally work from around 6 am to around 10 pm, a 16-hour day. I’ve been at this since last night at midnight, so I’ll finish in a little over 18 hours. My arms are tired and my brain is slightly mushy, but other than that I’m in good form. I could do a listing appointment right now and no one would guess that I’m toast.

On the other hand, I really thought this would go faster than it has. At my best — which ain’t now — I was averaging about nine-minutes a post. The Leggy Blonde has been reading behind me, and she has been gracious enough not to tell me what kind of typos I’m making.

But: This is proof enough that this is possible. My whole life, I have argued that the secret to getting anything done is to not stop doing it, so I could probably throw another 35 posts up against the wall between now and midnight.

But I won’t…

      Excellent stunt performed by a very smart hound, I’d say :)
      After we did 50 posts, and Rudy made the off the cuff statement of someone going for 100, we never thought anyone would seriously think of doing it. That’s because we tried and it was really tough. Then to our amazement Ardell said she’d do it, then she challenged you (not us)and you accepted & the thing just took on a life of its own & we were not going to stop it.
      Wow, that’s a great story of an unfolding bit of blogging history.
