If a tree falls in the forest, is there anyone there to write about it?
One of these writers could write meaningfully about a tree falling in a forest: Harriet Beech-er Stowe, Nathaniel Hawthorne, John Ash-berry, even Elm-er Fudd.
all one needs is to imagine a tree falling in the forest to write about it, as you did when you asked the question. A riddle for you. seek out a tree. ask it your question, yet not rely on its reply.
Possibilities if the tree falls in the Land of Bob:
Yes, of course...Treebeard...BAARRAARROOOMMM...take a note, Merry and Pippin!

This close to Midsummer's Eve, some Druid most likely!
Yes, Lord Robert Murray of Crestfallen, Scotland, while searching for his wizard and his true love!
And the off chance that the White Rabbit would be there, assuming Gracie Slick was singing him to sleep; which probably made him late in the first place!

Is it better to write hubs around one topic, or experiment with various ones?On one hand, a subdomain with numerous articles surrounding one topic seems like it would give authority to the account. On the other hand, experimenting with new topics may pay off as you could stumble across a...
