Chronic Listaholic officially ceased publication in February 2007. It has been resurrected here both as a source of reference and an exercise in nostalgia. Although new lists are no longer posted, please feel free to browse the archives.
Enjoy!
If you are looking for my NaBloPoMo blog, it’s over on The Write Coast.
If you are looking for my current blog, it IS The Write Coast.
No, I haven’t officially retired Chronic Listaholic. I just got burned out on making lists. Perhaps I should re-title it Recovering Listaholic . . .
The Write Coast and Chronic Listaholic are both now going through Feedburner. If any of you feed-reader users out there are having problems with either feed, please let me know ASAP. If I screwed something up between WordPress, Globat and Feedburner, I’d like to know so I can fix it. Thanks!
Chronic Listaholic has been converted to WordPress. I wanted to get all the content safely transferred before I started fooling with the look. Now that that’s done, onward with the redesign!
Importing all my previous lists from Blogger has screwed up the coding on them a bit. Gah. I’ll be working my way backward to fix them all over the next 10 or 20 years, so please excuse the state of less-than-perfection.
My blogbuddy Kevin, over at kapgar, is some kind of marketing whiz kid or something. When he heard about fellow blogger Paul Davidson’s conceptually-brilliant second novel, The Lost Blogs From Jesus To Jim Morrison, he got so excited he wanted to tell the world. Since only half the known world reads kapgar, Kevin decided to enlist the help of his fellow bloggers in spreading the word about the upcoming publication of this blogstorical milestone. He launched his Grassroots Campaign on February 21st, and interest has spread like, well, like a grassfire.
Here’s the plan: Paul’s book is a collection of blog entries by historical personages — how they might have blogged if the technology had existed back in their day. Kevin suggested each of us choose a famous person to blog as for one week. We had to choose someone NOT in Paul’s book, we have to post an entry every day for five days, and we can’t reveal who we are blogging as until the week ends. Sounds like fun, huh? I thought so! Of course I signed up.
So starting next Monday, Chronic Listaholic will be on vacation, and this venue will host the blog of a certain historical entity whom I’ll be channeling. I’m excited about the change of format, and hope you’ll all enjoy reading what “we” have to say.
If not, there’s 38 other bloggers to choose from! (Check the sidebar for a full list of participating bloggers.)
Chronic Listaholic is on hiatus until December, because I am participating in NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month). I am foolishly attempting to write a 50,000-word novel in 30 days. In December, I expect I’ll be publishing a list of Ten Reasons Why I Failed At NaNoWriMo.

Sincere thanks to all of you for bearing with CL while we coped with a death in the family. And heartfelt thanks to those who sent expressions of condolence.
We are getting back on track now, and new lists are in the works.
Stay tuned! Or whatever.
