[p2p-research] barriers to post-industrial transition

Sun Aug 24 11:22:03 CEST 2008

btw, 500 words is exactly 10 mini sagas (see below). so what 10 topics  
do you want to convey? list them and write a mini saga for each of  
them. can be a mini-crowd-sourced effort. let's put the money where  
our hearts are.

I hereby volunteer to take responsibility for one or two of them.

Succes en plezier,

	Martien.

Mini saga
A mini saga is a story told in exactly 50 words—not 49 or 51 but in  
exactly 50 words.

Benefits
Writing a mini saga expands your creativity. Constraints typically  
expand creativity or induce flight. When you have to put everything in  
50 words, you have to “leave behind” a lot. That’s where the creative  
juices start flowing.
Writing a mini saga stretches your thinking. What will you write  
about? You have to think about topics that will fit in 50 words or  
squeeze them to fit in 50 words. That puts thinking on overdrive mode.
Writing a mini saga enhances your discipline. Deciding what to write  
about, deciding what to leave behind and putting it in 50 words  
requires discipline throughout.
It may help you win a call for submission.
