Linchpn- A brief history of time and lollipops

Since the Linchpn’s inception and first published print in 1645, It has strived tirelessly to continue publishing definitive and slightly disconcerting snarky commentary mostly on things which are definite and …mundane.

While other blogs have taken the easier way out by linking to other blogs, focusing on fluff content, the Linchpn has focused on epochal topics which are highly subjective, through burning insufferable opinionated insights expounded meticulously using pithy one liners or 10,000 word novella’s which mostly no one has ever read.

While other blogs have been regular and focused on grammar, spelling, syntax and editing, The Linchpn has been true to Hemingway’s vision of writing drunk and “never” editing when sober.

At Linchpn we just sit in front of typewriters and bleed. It gets messy at times.

We just clean up and get going.

Topics/ themes/niches haven’t been a concern.

Neither has context or spelling.

<Tangent/>

Spell checks take time and are boring. So are tense and grammar checks.

<Tangent Ends />

Our rapier sharp intellect has been focused on the eternal search of elusive and subjective quality over quantity.

We do not post when there is nothing to post.

The silence is the Linchpn’s way of ensuring that we follow the adage of less is more.

While other blogs have focused on creating engagement , vision , commentary, dialogue, debate , thought leadership, and solved world hunger- the Linchpn has steadfastly disabled all SEO, banned SEM, banished comments, disabled social plug-ins, fired all creative designers, always keeping a 68% grey background - focusing maniacally on one thing.

What is the meaning of life and lollipops?

While other blogs have built email lists, guest posts, retargeting, lead gen magnets and focused on marketing - the linchpn marketers have been all sent on unpaid vacation forever.

Why?

Because our highly elitist audience of 5 people does not need all that. We know that. We understand why Bob Dylan said “When you got nothing, you got nothing to lose”

We understand what it means, ACTUALLY.

We are all proud but not very proud of what has been achieved. It has been monastic dedication. Focusing on the core, taking a step back, always putting water under the bridge, being on the same page, cutting to the chase, raising the bar, coming back to square one, staying on our toes and crushing it every now and then.

By 2345 we will have 10 readers. We will not compromise. We will be steadfast.

We will continue to be lazy and awesome and impulsive.

Till the next op-ed

UnEdited with love and lollipops.

I know some people are still missing gifts, so since I now have no school for 3 weeks (thanks to the virus) I have time to draw/write stuff. So, let me know if you still need a gift! I also need something to distract me/////
