Thursday Thoughts: Writing
I’m going to take a few days off from writing here-I think. Unless something inspires me to craft something spectacular, I am going to spend some more time on my current project, a yet unnamed novel (or novella) based on a short story from my most recent book, The Knot at the End of theContinue reading “Thursday Thoughts: Writing”
The Purge (Subscribers): Quality over Quantity
I went through my subscriber list this week and sent out an email to selected recipients that started like this: “Ever see the movie, The Purge? Don’t. It’s a terrible movie. I can’t believe they made more than one, two more actually. Anyway, this email is going out to subscribers who haven’t opened any emails forContinue reading “The Purge (Subscribers): Quality over Quantity”
Thursday Thoughts: Laughter
In anticipation of “Funny Fridays” I thought that I would talk about the serious side of laughter. It is not easy laugh when you are alone, but I’m sure many will agree that it is easy to cry. There are movies that always make me tear up no matter how many times I’ve seen them—It’sContinue reading “Thursday Thoughts: Laughter”
Thursday Thoughts: Poetic License
Thursday Thoughts vs. Thursday Ideas. Why do we like alliteration? Probably the same reason that we get annoyed when the gas pump goes to $20.01.

What makes it my favorite? I always learn something interesting about the advertising business. WhenContinue reading “What’s in a Name (or a Picture)”

I have done a few interviews on some book blogs this year and have always enjoyed it. But then I thought, what would I say in an interview as a reader? Solution? Interview myself! So I did.

Why I Write
I sent this to my newsletter subscribers earlier in October: I want to thank you for taking part in my writing journey. Writers write to share their ideas, visions, and emotions, and I hope that you find my weekly rambles entertaining. I write in a lot of different styles, which may or may not be the best wayContinue reading “Why I Write”
The Changing of the Seasons
Repost from 9/29/2020 – I thought I would add this before the snow fell. I looked out my window this morning. Too late. As I sit here writing, I can see the leaves—that have already changed color—falling in a cascade of hues, from brilliant reds, oranges, and yellows. It makes me think about the upcomingContinue reading “The Changing of the Seasons”
