Babel 17 - Samuel R. Delany

It's a port city.

Here fumes rust the sky, the General thought. Industrial gases flushed the evening with oranges, salmons, purples with too much red. West, ascending and descending transports, shuttling cargoes to stellarcenters and satellites, lacerated the clouds. It's a rotten poor city too, thought the General, turning the corner by the garbage-strewn curb.

Since the Invasion six ruinous embargoes for months apiece had strangled this city whose lifeline must pulse with interstellar commerce to survive. Sequestered, how could this city exist? Six times in twenty years he'd asked himself that. Answer? It couldn't.

Panics, riots, burnings, twice cannibalism--

Hello! I understand this is kind of off-topic however I had to ask.
Does operating a well-established blog such as yours take a large amount of work?

I am brand new to operating a blog but I do write in my diary on a daily basis.
I'd like to start a blog so I can share my personal experience and feelings online. Please let me know if you have any recommendations or tips for new aspiring bloggers. Thankyou!
