That is an example of why I feel political and social belligerence on my blog or other social media is inappropriate. (I came THAT CLOSE to unfollowing that person on Instagram, but decided I would not.)
How To Win Friends And Influence People?
Away From This Mad World
How many of us deep down desire to get away from all of the “noise” of this century in which we must live? How many of us wish to saunter on a secluded country lane by the side of our well-dressed handsome gentleman or bonnet-wearing lovely lady?
The New Destination
Because once the last word is on the page, well, that’s it. Done. You have become just someone who has written a book. That was then. What are you doing now?
With The End In Sight
I sense I am approaching *that* time for a soon to be new book where I sit back and take stock of the draft as a whole. Soon tweaking with “this and that” begins. I’ve learned that in some ways this is also the toughest time.
Returned To England
A bit of history. A bit of romance. In my humble opinion, it doesn’t get any better.😊
The End Of A Visit
Oh, and what do authors discuss in private messages? Hush, hush, secret writing stuff, of course.
Weekend Amidst The Trees
I had one of those writing moments early on Saturday morning here at my dad’s house too. These things often hit us in the middle of the night. Actually… in that case I mean about 4 o’clock in the morning.
Those Literary Treasures
Hello from upstate New York!
“No way at this hour”
Hmm, I suspect I don’t really take these social media writer things seriously enough. 😉
If I Ever Lose My Faith…
In my early-middle twenties, I thought much that same way as he writes. It all seemed hypocritical, absurd, and unnecessary. Then I met someone who suggested a perspective I had never before really considered…
“Hello to you in 1801”
Television is a form of mass theater that is sent invisibly into homes and viewed on an object that looks something like a window and is hung on a wall; whilst Twitter is best characterized to you I think as appearing on interactive television we call “the internet” and it much resembles the graffiti one sees scrawled by angry mobs anonymously on walls in Paris and in Rome.
Twenty Years On
A mere seven years ago, in early 2012, most of you had never heard of me and I knew of almost NONE of you (who did not know me already in real life).
“What is happening at home?”
I thought once again about how learning history is, yes, about broadly knowing “big events”; but more important is drilling down to contextualize them and seeking better to understand those lives lived before ours.
The Ongoing “Discoveries”
I admit I adore some of those “who” I write, and my hope is that over the course of a book that a reader comes to do so as well.
How “Should” I Write?
How DO I write? This way: I write cover to cover in a style that I enjoy reading…
