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. |
Give us your take on Jules Verne's writing life. https://blogthinkbig.com/inventions-jules-verne-predicted Who doesn’t like Jules Verne’s tales. I guess, like all people, Verne needed money to make a life. If he was a successful stockbroker that would have given him both time and finances to delve into what he really liked to do, write. He was educated enough to be able to combine science with adventure. The adventure took his own mind into worlds he could imagine. I would not go so far as to call him a prophet. He certainly was a man, who was able to read the signs of the times. He wrote about submarines that were already being developed by scientist. Other types of Things he thought and wrote about were electric batteries, and helicopters. Scientists and inventors were also thinking of these things, even trying to develop parts of such types of machines. The minds of humans are interconnected. What a writer can dream up and put on paper or any other type of writing technology some other person will bring into the world as a accomplished machine for the use of mankind. Guess we are going into space for sure sooner than later. ![Merit Badge in Cheerleading
