I have a lot to say today but nothing feels like it deserves a blog of its own. So…
Some Thoughts:
- I really enjoy the fact that this has gone on so long–especially the thought list, which is entirely credited to Peter King who did something similar on his Monday Morning QB column. I’m a format guy. If I can find a format or a shape of a thing that works then I can do it forever. Thanks, Peter. Or more formally: Thanks, Mr. King
- I can say that a lot. Thanks Mr. Stephen King as well. you’ve got it going on. I love your words. Most recently I love what you had to say about Trump. he wrote, “Trump’s worldview simplified: If you disagree with my policies, you hate America. Because I AM America.” This is exactly correct. I’m using Trump in future writing as the guy who developed power simply because people were wounded by a confluence of factors that made them feel vulnerable and he represented that anger and divisiveness that made them feel safer than the alternative. In other words, I plan to speak true in my characters.
- My cat is throwing a serious fit right now. The weather outside is approaching Haboob levels and she is either lonely, terrified, or both. She won’t come downstairs because of the dog. We’ve had to separate the two with a gate. She’s just not about that dog life. Now she is apparently not about that Dust storm life either.
- I’m winding down a Shadowrun project. With the end in site I should be excited but I am not. I feel like this is/has taken too long. I feel slow in the writing and I ought to do something about that. But what?
- This really has to be the last season for football for at least 1 kid. We have football stuff forever it seems. Once he starts the H.S. stuff it is definitely going to be a major reduction. It might not feel that way because one more kid is playing. Of course there are always school sports but that involvement is much limited. I cannot see the other kid going more than one more season before he dives headlong into middle school sports and ends his so-called youth sports career. Maybe it is a good thing. I have other things in life to accomplish outside of this and this, while I love it, is in the way.
