8. Totally Random Daily Shakespeare
Cheshire, Connecticut, US
Pretty much every day I pull a totally random line from Shakespeare to start my day with. Once or twice a week (more or less) I post to my blog writing a little bit about that day's line. Some days I look at the pure language, some days at the play or the poem that the line comes from, and some days from the time or place it's set in. Sometimes I look at the relevance of the line to our world today, sometimes I just take off and to see wherever else the line might lead me.
