REG: The would-be blogger would select which REG to select (according to the kind of outcomes they give), and that REG would deliver an outcome, and the blogger would follow on that.

There can be many sophistication from there. Flexibility, cutomization.

- rules

- pure random.

A smart mix of that.

Taken to the extreme you could add “of odd decades of odd centuries”, which would mean we wouldn’t have to start until 2011.

Want to co-found the movement?

WoBloMo could be the “gateway drug” to Cantor Blogging.

That should be a goal.

Your idea is even better, and could actually help sustain real blogging.

Still, there is something reassuring about having a very focused and confined challenge that you can plow through knowing exactly when it will end.

Perhaps some of the woblomo discipline will carry over into the rest of the year. Or, more likely, April will become World Ignore Your Blog month.

“When to do it
Every odd day of March: March 1st, 3rd, 5th, 7th, 9th, 11th, 13th, 15th, 17th, 19th, 21st, 23rd, 25th, 27th, 29th, and 31st.”

At first, sounds absurd.

“Why?
WoBloMo, like its ancestors, is founded on the principle that perfect is the enemy of good and nothing ensures imperfection more than an arbitrary deadline. The goal is to muzzle your inner critic just long enough to bang out 80% of what you wanted to say.”

The “arbitrary deadline” argument sounds good enough.

But then why in March, only. Why not some “arbitrary deadlines” stochastically peppered during the *year*? That would sound more sustainable to me. That would push bloggers to sustain blogging throughout the year. That would lead to a great social networking group… All the posts published on that particular days and times would be interconnected… We would meet strangers we would have never meet otherwise…
