Blog about Blogging: The Riptide of Competitive Inspiration

So, yesterday friend and I came up with a bit of a blogging game plan. Since we are both often a bit lethargic about putting up new blog posts we have decided to, once a week, agree upon a topic and then both write a bog on said topic. Nothing like a little competition to motivate you.
This is the first of our co-topics, a post about blogging on the same topic. There might be a million things I could write about but a nagging little part of my mind keeps thinking: I wonder what he’s writing. Just a little part, but enough to be distracting.

Anyway, the dual posts each week could make for very interesting reading. Between us we can come up with some unexpected and brilliant ideas so at the very least we should have interesting things to blog about.

Now that I think about it though, from a philosophical and psychological side it could also become very interesting. Sure our friendship might have been formed on a whole stack of common interests, but aside from that we have vastly different personalities. The difference can be seen even just in the way we write. He crafts each sentence, almost word by word, often leading to very poetic but sometimes chaotic and meandering stories. I on the other hand, am a little more plot driven. Maybe less poetic but also a little less wild.

So from that perspective, together with how our views and feelings on each topic combine with our writing it could make for some interesting insights into our minds. Could be fun. Let the games begin.
