Reading, Writing, Pondering: Big Life Themes, Literature, Contemporary/Historical Issues |
Welcome to the 14th century, in a farflung outpost of the Holy Roman Empire, and a new Convent outpost of the terrrifically powerful Roman Catholic Church. Sound historically dull? Hopefully not so--for this is NOT an ordinary 14th Century Convent. Back after a six-year hiatus.... From NaNoWriMo historical Supernatural novels in Scotland, Michigan, South Alabama and historical horror in Standwood Station, GA-to the Phantom Northern Woods-to singlehandedly refighting the American Civil War-to exploring Social Justice and standing for First Amendment rights under the U.S. Constitution-we deal out horror, Supernatural, Historical, fantasy, mystery, and more. We do not fear outspokeness. And always, always, always, We Do History. Find it here. We write it. We read it. We hold strong opinions. We orate. Meanwhile, whether we're writing or just reading, we love to rave about books and authors right here! |
Blog City for April 8 2019: Prompt: What do you think personal space is and how do you measure it? And why are we so territorial about it? My personal space bubble extends about a hundred miles. Seriously. I understand that personal space is a cultural phenomenon; I've read that, for example, persons in the Middle East Arab cultures consider standing closer to another person more acceptable than say, individuals in other cultures. For me, personal space is a matter of "personal" preference; and my preference is: Back. Off. I have a lot in common with the aphorisms on the Grumpy Cat Weather App. |
