    Here I am, being dutiful.  Just finished watching The Alfred Hitchcock Hour's episode called "Captive Audience." No one does unhinged like James Mason.  Read more >

    I woke up. Things are an hour behind and it gets darker earlier.  I was tired and it was cold.  I listened to music.  I wrote a little, watched the Pats essentially relive their Superbowl loss to Little Manning and I wrote this.  Read more >

    #nowplayingwhileblogging: Camera One - Josh Joplin Group So... -Andy Rooney, journalist and essayist, best known for his curmudgeonly, but wry observations on the long runner, "60 Minutes" died yesterday.  The clips remind us what a great loss his unique perspective was.  It was funny that they aired the segment where he was adamant about not taming his eyebrows.  Read more >

    To celebrate the momentous blog post for Day Four, I am going to combine some of the recent writing prompts that NaBloPoMo has provided in the  past few days in this post. I am not new to writing prompts.  Livejournal (livejournal.com) provides them on the home page with a link that allows you (once it is clicked) to go immediately to your blog and commence wiritng.  Wordpress.com provides prompts on the page that appears once you post something to your blog.  In fact, the page is a helpful tip list that provides things like recommendations for tags for that post  Read more >

    An achievement over last year's NaBloPoMo - I made it to Day Three at the official NaBloPoMo site. I know that like many people, carving out time to write is tough.  I could not find the time all the time to do that.  I do remember how I would find time to tweet, to watch certain tv shows (on hulu usually because I missed it working) and playing al of the things that Zynga had to offer except for the Poker games.  I reasoned that if I have time to do that, I can post every day for a menth at least. Day Three down - onto Day Four.   &n  Read more >

    Here we are at Day Two.  Just finished watching the Shaun Cassidy segment on the 'Best of Oprah' on the OWN network.  It was one of those channelsurfing moment.  It wasn't a bad segment, though I wished that Oprah had spent some time on how he managed to not go down in flames as had several of his contemporaries and carve out another career as a producer and writer.  They mentioned it in passing, but Biography did a better job of covering this. Speaking of writing, what I love about Shaun's work is that he does shows that not  Read more >

    So it's Day One of the NaBloPoMo thing and the NaNoWriMo thing.  A goal for this year is to definitely be more constant in my blogging for NaBloPoMo.  The last two years I thought I would have one feed into the other by blogging about the novel that I working on, especially since I don't attend a lot of write-ins and since I noted in the last day of the first NaBloPoMo that I participated in that finding content is tough.  Read more >

    The Massachusetts Historical Society has since 2009 been tweeting a line a day from the journals of the 6th President of the United States, John Quincy Adams. President Adams fils (son) has kept a journal since boyhood, having been encouraged to do so by his father, President John Adams, who also kept a journal and authored many essays and letters.  In fact, this Adams family has been a goldmine for scholars of the early history of the United States of America since members in this family (including the women) documented many aspects of their lives - domestic and political,  Read more >

    So its mid October and it's time to gear up for writing stuff.NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month) begins on November first as always.  Last year I hit and was able to validate my 50,000 words.  Painfully but I got there.This year I might not get there with the rest of them.  i had some major personal setbacks over the same and the effects of which are still being felt at  moment.  The one thing that I've always liked about this and National Novel Posting Month is the idea of being presented with a challenge-a goal-an objective and working toward  Read more >
