In searching for something to entice The Muse to put down her bons bons and get off her settee, I like to search around for pages offering help to flagging bloggers.

Just about every page I visit suggests creating posts with lists.

I see it all over: “list posts are very popular!”

1. Really? With who?
2. Perhaps the who doesn’t matter as much as the what
3. I’m not sure lists are my thing
4. Maybe on this one I should go against my own grain
5. And make a list
6. A list for the listless
7. (Yes, I went there)
8. How about a blog post where the contents ARE the list
9. No well thought out collection of ideas
10. No useful reference guide
11. Just random thoughts
12. listlitized
13. Which is so not a word but I don’t care
14. I mean, does it count as a list if it’s not
15. a clean, well organized list?
16. I think it does
17. In fact, I think it makes it better
18. Maybe people will even want to
19. read to the end
20. instead of scanning down the list
21. Which I am totally guilty of doing
22. Maybe
23. I should leave
24. Some blank list items
28. Just to make it confusing
29. Or maybe
30. Lists
31. Are just too darn orderly for my disordered mind
