When everything is revealed, that's usually a bit too much.<BR/><BR/>On the other hand, particularly with participation in JJL possibly leading to more visitors who have never been here on my internet front porch, I'm not looking to be needlessly difficult by denying information people are advising me to offer.<BR/><BR/>We'll see what happens. Inspiration is bound to strike. Perhaps the OFG has the answer!<BR/><BR/>Thanks for visiting and offering your suggestion, Steve! Encouraging words are fun to read, too.Rick Hamrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09621981388013851089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7263788220250087491.post-4169093028610777042008-08-08T19:41:00.000-06:002008-08-08T19:41:00.000-06:00Rick, I can second greenishlady. As a newbie here,...Rick, I can second greenishlady. As a newbie here, I was struggling to come up with an appropriate meaning for OFG. Knowing that archives are full of gold, I did go digging expecting that you had spelled it out in your first post. And you did, by golly.<BR/><BR/>You might want to consider adding that somewhere that is a little easier to find!<BR/><BR/>Keep at it, the OFG's are good reading!Steve Sherlockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13070688297607895943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7263788220250087491.post-75748227237033928492008-08-03T02:52:00.000-06:002008-08-03T02:52:00.000-06:00Olivia--I don't mind at all revealing the process....Olivia--I don't mind at all revealing the process. <BR/><BR/>Each one of these little collections was done in a matter of minutes, usually a few snippets at a time over a couple of days. And, you are right: they seem to come out just as quickly as I can type them.<BR/><BR/>After I have a few typed, I start intentionally thinking of a first letter I have not used in that collection, which causes a snippet title to jump into my head which starts with that letter. I'm not out to be sure I have used every letter, it's just a great way to direct my thoughts sort of randomly instead of driving one topic into the ground.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for asking, O! I have been thinking about how to describe the creation of these, and your question made it easy.Rick Hamrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09621981388013851089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7263788220250087491.post-40021543066406007462008-08-02T23:53:00.000-06:002008-08-02T23:53:00.000-06:00I wonder if this just pours out of you or if you s...I wonder if this just pours out of you or if you spend hours on this.

Fortunately, I don't ever ever ever refer to myself that way out where people can hear me! Their raucous laughter would be unsettling.<BR/><BR/>You can read the origins of the OFG series here:<BR/>http://hamguin-nohiding.blogspot.com/2008/07/ofg-introduction.html<BR/><BR/>You can read the entire series if you click the "OFG" label in the right column of my blog.Rick Hamrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09621981388013851089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7263788220250087491.post-62501107970023195262008-07-31T14:32:00.000-06:002008-07-31T14:32:00.000-06:00I've been missing for a long while, and I feel rea...I've been missing for a long while, and I feel really stupid, but I don't know what the OFG stands for.
