To Get Support Be Like the Wind 8 Replies

One foundational principle of the artist's life is to develop many streams of income rather than to rely upon one prospect alone. I observe two extremes: 1.) the writer/artist who insists on putting…

Yeah, shut up Hutt, go milk your goat in the snow or something. It's sometimes hard for me to believe that you and I will be rulers of the world someday soon. Tyler, almost all of the fiction story I write isn't all fiction all created, it's grown…

That's called sarcasm, and I actually have a problem with people who are so full of themselves and don't have the personality to admit it.

Poetry That may or may not be in second collection

Stick Figure Paradise




An Obsession with the past
Is only evidence of a good life.
So let them think what they will,
As for you and I we stand for personal history.


Point fingers and cover all the bases,
We know God had nothing to do with us.
The sun is so boring, the moon has it’s moments.
Let them meet each other again,
Maybe this time they will enjoy each others company,
Instead of outdoing the other.
The sky is full of jeal

Writing Exercise

Seems these days my pen is getting a little rusty (Actually something more like my keyboard is getting rusty, writing with a pen is overrated) and I have been unable to find any good ways to keep my keys shiny and rust-free (Rustless?). So the other day I did something I would normally never do, I consulted a writing teacher.

(I taught myself how to write solely from reading and trial and error. Professors are also overrated. [Samesies with old people in general {Although Wise-Men are… Continue

The Sequel...

Snowbound again. Nothing new here. Watching my cats watching the car that is stuck at the alley exit. Spinning wheels. Nowhere to go because everything is closed. Magic day. Just lovely.

The new Elmore Leonard novel

So you haven't read an Elmore Leonard novel. You love a good read and you saw "Get Shorty" and liked it. You've heard that Elmore Leonard is one of the best working novelist in America today but you've never had a taste of him. Sure you've read "Harry Potter and the Seven Brooms of Snape" and you liked it. But no Elmore Leonard.

Well, "Road Dogs" is just out and it's up to Mr. Leonard's high quality. Great dialogue and good characters from the wrong side of the tracks. In case you are w… Continue

The roles I play

Thursday afternoon. The funeral for my older sister Sarah, 73, was scheduled for 2 p. m. on Thursday, Feb. 4, 2010. There was a light drizzle of rain as I rode with my younger sister’s two daughters, Cissy and Ashley, to the funeral home where the service was to take place. My younger sister, Jeanette, would be conducting the service.

I rode in the back seat and we talked about all those people in Haiti who had died. They were thrown into a common grave and dirt tossed on top of their d… Continue

A real inconvenience

This one came in a Grammar Girl email.

Jeanette L. misspelled "inconvenience" in an e-mail, and spell-check
helpfully "fixed" the word to make it "incontinence": I'm sorry for any
incontinence this may have caused.

America's Cup 2010

America's Cup 2010 began yesterday in Valencia, Spain an incredibly beautiful place, same venue as summer of 2007. The first race was abandoned for wind. Live video streaming coverage on the internet was scheduled to start at 10:00 CET, 01:00 PST my time. I'd planned to stay up and watch. I wouldn't miss it. I had a fresh pot of coffee and some pudding cake ready. I waited until almost 05:00 when the… Continue
