What is "questions no one asked?"

What is "questions no one asked?"

Questions no one asked is a blog I created as an excuse to write about whatever I feel like at any given time. Every post begins with a question I ask myself, which I then answer. Sometimes I post response questions which I then also answer. It's that simple.

Is the concept a little narcissistic?

You bet your ass it is.

What do you plan to gain from starting this?

Fame, notoriety, and lots and lots of money. But in a more realistic sense, the blog will give me a chance to write through whatever questions are hanging on my mind at any given moment.

I've been trying to start a blog I could consistently update for a while now. The truth is, though, that my brain's deficit of attention is is constantly pulling it in a million directions. I want to know and comment on everything at once.

I decided this could be a constructive way to harness that energy. That's why I'll be trying my best to keep this blog as unspecified as possible. Topics could range from my opinion on toast (delicious) to why I think members of the Tea Party are insane.

Is it really that novel of a concept?

Probably not. I think most people who pick up a pen or keyboard and spill their thoughts are just answering their own questions too. The only difference in what I plan on doing is that I'm being more straight-forward about it and posting all my questions along with the work.

Now that you've started this, are you going to quit on it after three posts like you have every other blog you've ever started?

Now that's a question I can't answer just yet.
