Writing Blog Number 2

by S 🤦

Rated: 18+ · Book · Personal · #2311764

This is a continuation of my blogging here at WdC

This will be a blog for my writing, maybe with (too much) personal thrown in. I am hoping it will be a little more interactive, with me answering questions, helping out and whatnot. If it falls this year (2024), then I may stop the whole blogging thing, but that's all a "wait and see" scenario.

An index of topics can be found here: "Writing Blog No.2 Index"

Add to #3; on the gun range, they shoot out the center of the target, but in the field they can't hit crap! Or, they need information, but shoot to kill the only person who can answer their questions.

Dave Ryan - Midsomer Murders is my favourite TV detective show!

And, yes, your number 6! Although I haven't seen it for a while outside of Christie adaptations.

In response to "20250224 Annoying Detective Tropes"

There's a long-running UK series called Midsomer Murders where #5 is a recurring feature. Whenever the perpetrator is arrested, they immediately confess, explain their motivation and fill in the gaps.

I'd suggest a sixth one, beloved of Agatha Christie and frequently another current series, Death In Paradise, where all the suspects are assembled and the detective goes into "the murderer is in this room" mode, explaining how they worked it out, verging on accusing this one, or that one, or maybe it was the next guy, before finally zeroing in on the real perp.

In response to "20250219 Ending Without Ending"

Some open endings are good, but some leave me wondering; as if everything I've read was wasted time.

In response to "20250212 Science Fiction Tropes I Like"

I'm trying something new here, so don't be too shocked to see a comment instead of just a "like".

Thanks for sharing.

20250303 External Writerings Feb 2025

External Writerings Feb 2025

A short month, and only 5 columns this month.

Yes, less days and I had some other external writering to do (and this will be the case for the next 3 months), but I am maintaining my personal minimum of 5 articles a month (I have a 4 column minimum with the site) so all is fine.

Songs about beaches and the shore, in order

to celebrate the approaching end of the Australian summer.

It’s been 10 years already since 2015!

A whole decade! So here’s my favourite songs from a year that was surprisingly good when it came to music.

A list of songs about boyfriends and girlfriends.

it’s sort of expected that we do some sort of Valentine’s Day list or column. You know – for the clicks.

A video review – Four Weddings And A Funeral.

Again, this is for Valentine’s Day, and it is my favourite rom-com of all time. Plus the soundtrack album.

Now it’s time to go back 60 years!

These are my favourite songs from 1965, one of the best years for pop and rock music ever. Don’t @ me.

And that’s this month’s writerings! Remember, a click on each one pays me, so you’re supporting me by listening to some great music or reading some weird opinions.
The way it works is: one click per article per ISP, no ad blockers. I get a very small amount, but it is an amount. And it does help.
Of course, don’t feel obligated. But there is some really cool music here.
