July 22, 2015 I'm going to start today to record on a daily basis whatever happens to strike my fancy. So, it is a very cool breezy day. I just posted 5 short book reviews to The Monthly Reading Challenge. I'm suppose to put away some winter wood today from the woodpile outside but I'm playing hookey from work to write so starting this blog will get done. I'm having a daily fight with a flock of English Sparrows that are trying to take over my barn. They are making a terrible mess so they have to go. I have destroyed several nests so far they don't leave but they get out of the barn when I am around. I'm just starting the fight so I guess I don't know how far I have to go to discourage them. I'm trying not to spread myself to thin on WDC because I find so many things that are interesting here and I am trying to work on a new story. I really enjoy sitting at my desk with a cup of tea and reading blogs on WDC. |
Motivational Monday! Actor Tom Selleck, born on this day in 1945, once said "I realized I really liked the screen. I knew it was a challenge, but I wasn't afraid of risk." What are your thoughts on calculated risks, and have you taken any when writing? I'm taking one now. I'm studying poetry. I never studied poetry as just a specific subject before.( possibly there was a section in high school English class. It would have been very short and not impressive.) In two lessons I've learned all kinds of things about writing. I've found enough information in the last two weeks to think that if you are a writer, no matter what you write you should know how to write poetry. Sometimes I think I've been living my life backwards. I learn things I should have known after I succeed at doing something interesting. I'm not a fan of Tom Selleck since he had his ex-wife blackballed by his brotherhood so she could not get work. Nevertheless I like some of the shows he has starred in. She sued him and he lost. When a brotherhood or sisterhood is blackballing someone so they can't get a financial hold on their lives, beware. It's often because the person did something that is good for society. Beware of such insensitive shenanigans. Happy Trails, Apondia |
