Abbrev. prompt --- "ideal writing environment." for FEB BLOGDOWN

Desk # one is my favorite spot. A dark brown veneer drop leaf table with both flaps extended to full capacity. I love & need tons of space for shorthand notes, spelling word cheat sheets and my A-Z handy spell vocab which is single spaced dating back to 1999. I wrote those words down all by myself over the years. Some lines hold a dozen words. Printed that one out in 2006. A wc bitem/ title page flip flops and is two sided, encased in clear plasitic, includes my things, open or closed stuff, group forums, groups etc.

Nearby find dictionaries, two of those each weighing about seven lbs, a thesaurus of the same hefty poundage. That's my favorite. There are three sixty inch windows in my bedroom with open views of the road. I grew up on a farm on a dirt road, ever since I simply must watch traffic. Once in awhile I scream as if I am driving ... slow the hell down, buddy! You know.

There are copybooks all over the place. However, I file these by color in a neat rack under this desk. Found that beauty near a dumpster behind a hardware store back in 1990. It originally held sandpaper squares. What a space saver!

The cats know I'll always pop in a movie for background. I remember Steven King's advice in Steven King On Writing ... (BTW, a true must read) that he writes against a firm solid wall. I myself think that is not what he does. Flat wall facing drives me crazy. But he claims no view stats ... makes his mind go elsewhere imagination wise.

Now and then, Mickey, my tabby, pushes over two cracked mugs holding pens, pencil, nail files, clothespins to gather notes, paper clips, a stapler. There's a blue trunk under the desk for my feet, this holds my miniature collection, not on shelves and inside the china cabinet behind me. The latter's three shelves strung with with white icicle lights. We turn these on every night to remind us of stars above. The glass door of this kitchen type cabinet ala 1950's really throws great mirror glare. Whitey and Mickey both loves these lights. And I love them.

The webtv box is in front of my cordless keyboard, plugged into a 19" color TV set to game mode. So, we've a truly wide screen.

Desk area #2 holds the PC, monitor attached, all upon a round table in the living room. I hate the PC and rarely use it. Hotshot, the grandson, wrote me a key shortcut list which is under glass. Both my desk tops carry a square piece of heavy glass with tons of things under them but primarily my label collection. I collect labels from clothes, jackets, sweaters. I must own at least three shoe boxes filled with them. Wide windowsills display colorful labels under louvere glass, grabbed off the street in 1996. Guess someone took apart a storm door. These were stacked every so neatly right on the sidewalk. I loaded them up. I'm a trashpicker. If I see it, like it or need it ... well then slight problems arise with too big or won't pack in the car easily. Now travel with bungee cords.

The last thing trashed picked was two discarded pine trees** in mid Jan. Their branches are behind me in vases atop a little girl's shiny brass vanity. Found that last September. It has two glass shelves. I put doilies on these, valentines, more books slip right in there and lay flat. But I can put my hands on them quickly. Whitey wears the doilies on his shoulders and walks about for me. Then I call him Popester.

Big Whitey's waiting on his pillow for me to quit wc time and snuggle under my bed lamp with a novel. We're reading one set in Sweden. I read aloud to him at the start of each chapter, then he purrs. Mickey's new nickname is Professor Leadbottom, since he's a knack for being a dedicated bedwarmer. He favors the center of the bed or my feet position. Tossing him about at night requires a crane. Boy, he can really go heavy on the legs.

Well, goodnight.

** Ahh, just checked our outdoor trees. They're still snowy, next to the living room window, holding birdseeds, one bird feeder, grease, citrus peels. Keep putting out trout but the bears (if any are awake) continue ignoring us. Darn!
 

Onsite at wc, or at any writing website community --- true writers enter with ... educational backgrounds, multi faceted life sequences from the school of Hard Knocks spelling knowledge we can never deny. Why should we? Daily around wc we are over-exposed to untested credentials which boast how we must learn how to write. And, hahaha, improve. To some this can be insulting or trite. It is really. This blog is rather closed as in c-l-o-s-e-d, but I am already aware of snobbery as well constant put downs from unnamed areas I care not a fiddle stick damn about.

When Learn Alley, Hone Street or Improve Avenue cross Youneedreviewgame Drive ... Sure, many of us with talent quickly back away going ... say what now?

At "AUTHORS DISCUSSION CLUB"  there are passages where sound apodictic common sense provides criteria for the ability to write gleaned from high school, elementary or college courses. So the term "learn how to write" is a bit of a come-on for serious authors to shy away from faster than a motorist avoiding a skunk.

My background is steeped in journalism. Yes, I had those college courses, reported for three local newspapers and also ran source material for close to three years. Asked to cover a bad cop story, nobody wanted to touch, covered that in Nov. 2007. It was great, went well and (I) even dressed the part. When you go to court look like a country bumpkin then you garnish answers in a low key fashion. I wore my old lady costume, felt hat with the brim up, brown tweed coat and knee socks under a long skirt. People in the street asked me if I needed a ride. Oh, and smear the lipstick, that really says you're a tad off the beaten track on any city street.

On my first blog here, which was going elsewhere also, JUNEBUGS & ELDERBERRY WINE recorded two presidential elections, anti gurj bu natch. Then the shocker when Sen McCain picked Palin in order to lose that one. I protested US occupation/ invasion and danger to men & women who did not even have proper flak jackets. For a time Dump the Rump Rumsfeld did not supply proper equipment, soldier's families did.

The best of Junebugs was the propaganda piece revolving around Jessica Lynch. My pieces were quasi journalistic as research accumulated. It was hard to take these actual findings which were very sad as it held the biographies for eleven slain Americans. That turned immediately into writing about Shoshana Johnson, who did the actual shooting at the only recorded Iraq battle in Mar 2003.

Fiction is tied to my soul. I have at least five novels begun. Am keeping three of those, tossing two of them. One I finished, cut my teeth on before venturing into voluntary writing here which shows no just nor concrete rewards. SOJOURN TO INVERNESS has five chapters, never on line.

When MY serial: NEVER HAVE DINNER WITH A VAMPIRE started last March, I ran it up to a two parter, switched setting from PA to Maine and loved the haps. Then Part Two became: NEVER BUY A VAMPIRE LUNCH.

Chapters, serials, short stories, are keen on my creative/ plot list. I deliver but am unrecognized here in contests during the last two years. So, why bother? Previously, I had about six wins onsite prior to posting a logic approach concerning what writing is not to include such as the site popularity e.g. no adverbs advice. Huh?

OH BTW! I wrote 19+ short stories, not only flash fic. Which to me are not short stories by definition. Sorry.

One year I won a writing contest from:
Verona Publishing for ________-- and a check in the mail for $100. Yipee.
I never pay entrance fees.

My Poetry collection is open @

This prompt brings up an interesting fact. Sitting on the wheelie desk chair, talking in a manner which all can understand hurts my vocab enhancing, demeans my talent. Although I tired and tried to share here. Throwing in the towel now. People were not expecting any more. If so they can turn to the folds who insist they know how to write and carry on. "AUTHORS DISCUSSION CLUB"  has a forum, 202 members. Who really needs me? Not a damn soul.

My latest pen is NEVER RISK IT ON BRISKET... underway since Jan and in research mode. I told this one in short story format as fast as I could to a silent thrilled audience gathered at a kitchen table. Everyone said write it, Mary. They actually clapped and so ... there I go ... turn the page.

Oh, lastly am keen on gathering ALL MY spontaneous writing advice rendered BY ME since Oct 2004. This is being categorized by topic, cross referenced into the non fiction gem of all times: WRITERS WAR.

Won't take less than $25. for a single ezine copy, of course. A work in progress. All my work in writing how to and how not to venue --- this all belongs to me. Best I put it out there before seeing it rewritten on writerbraceyourslf.book or someplace else which happened to a few of my CLUB newsletters recently as of last Nov. No fault of wc's, not done by a wc member. Yet, we do absorb the sting of truth when we post I-Net Highway. Having an audience anymore isn't worth it. It always should be about selling stories. In 2004-5, 'twas, personally from this desk. So, sure we all may wake up to strong coffee as the beat goes on.

Becoming tied to must do this, just share, must blog 500 words per day, must maintain, manage groups, review, review review amounts to time lost for excellent reads, market hopping and fiction scripting. Yeah, I lost a lot of time. After I joined this site and a few others, I did keep up an ongoing educational quest thru research, my middle name for setting, but I truly regret lost time playing around for reasons which show me no gain.

That is one reason that I previously favored groups. At least you narrow the field. Although, overall writing website exposure from publishers is not seen nor present by any means via e-writing.

Incidentally, RE: my all inclusive writing advice, this always came with a behavioral objective splashed with wit to make the lesson stick to anyone who had a need or an acceptance of the particular topic. English is a dry subject like I said before. The separation of categorizing e-writing from regular writing is indeed a new age set back which serious authors best sidestep.

Of course there are B movies, and B grade writing. There are B publishers who dabble in what passes for adult Lit when it is borderline Young Adult Fiction, useless for an entire world filled with those who crave the next best adult standard read they take to bed at night. And guess what, not eveyone reads online writing, folks. Keep in mind the open bag audience. Yes, we're out here and we read & read & read.

Hey CLUB!!! What's the haps?

Weather news again. This morning?

Outside a mere two to three inches new fallen snow. Atop last week's 24" beside simply amazing clear roads. There were walls built by snowplows along all country & town byways. These collapse, grow thinner by daylight. Yeah, sure, the walls come tumbling down. You can't tell when or where. One lady told me she received no mail for whole four days. Zip. Mailboxes inside snow walls need digging out as well cars, driveways. The scene? Similar to geometric sand dunes with drifting snow across an entire bit of wide farmland. We fear, it'll never melt. Thus, landscape at Moffett Estates went purely to enveloping snow as far as the eye can maintain. Sunglasses are off the shelves now. Bread & milk making a slight come-back.

People borrow snow shovels or teenagers to achieve clear walking areas. Electricity stays on, phone line also. This winter: no major traffic catastrophes on I-78, which Penn Dot closed on FEB 13, the day the big storm hit. Oh, and baby, did she ever blow. The wind was ferociously addictive, a treat to hear.

OKAY ... couple of things.

As you may already know ... ... this is new for me, now managing three groups.

Today, at odds with Father Time.

TO: Eyz & Aaron: Hopefully you're reading this. So officially requesting withdrawing from FRONTLINER Staff. Loved every minute, learned a few things, met new folks as well invited new staff. Whom are certainly creating new activities & performing a tip top job. FL is, as per usual, ship shape. Perhaps, next DEC shall consider re-opening "TWELVE DAYS OF BLOGGING!"  as a FL member. Also, much thanks for your generous donations.

Special thanks to bookgraham for keeping " WEEKLY RACY VOCAB FORMS"  afloat via innovative vocab.

Which brings up a word on vocab. One thing all writers may do is covet & cozen with your most importants desk ref aka an up-to-date dictionary, copy-rt at least 1994. Yet, ones from the Eighties serve us well when searching for those prefect words or synonyms. Here's an activity perhaps happily familiar to our best authors.
Take that heavy dictionary, place on a backhoe if nec. Bridged or unabridged, prepare to throw yourself into a search frenzy. Grab a pen & note paper. No copy/paste allowed.

Settle into a hovering stance to become very close to your darlin. Girls, think belly dance, hug your pal with a hoochi-coo.

CLUB!!! Turn up the music, immerce mind, body, soul.

Guys, swing those sexy hips now, move right up to the best true love a writer every shall meet.

Hold that beloved dictionary book close to your ... I say. No it is not an inanimate object. Shusshh. Each dictionary contains tons of verbs, proper names. Dictionaries are entities in their own deserving right.

Page thru randomly. Record in long hand. Save and use your chosen list. Spice all articles, stories, poems etc with recently chosen treasures. Yes, the following staff page welcomes Vocab Editors, if CLUB wishes to "Word of the Day STAFF Page" 

NEXT: Read a TEFF rev sent to Earl for his new poetry contest, a weekly event. Review of "Echoes From The Heart Poetry Contest"

Therefore, BELLES of Blogging, a nickname given to ladies who entered "TWELVE DAYS OF BLOGGING!"  as we speak you should be receiving welcome letters from "CYBER SIDE OF BLOG LIFE/ CLOSED" 

When you've a chance, out our group page, please. Hope you all decide to stay awhile and post on. Currently idea gathering from all members. No rush or fuss nec. Things should mellow down.

Thanks for the huge dose of patience, which occurs every year post Christmas. "EVERYONE HAS A CHRISTMAS STORY ARCHIVE"  underway.

The best is how well the guys are doing at:"WWII/NAZIS/CIRCUS/ORLEANS"  The last two sections overwhelmed moi. The story is well researched and exciting. You're onto a valuable novel there.

Alas --- the real guts & glory ... I'm taking a break, a two to three month break from all wc volunteerism. Mainly for completion of a few things. Since my research is staggering. Try reading a three foot stack of Wall Street Journals from Oct 2008. Tell me your eyes won't cross.

to all.

Entitlement of all writers is to compose in a venue of their choice. Nonfiction is not even considered plausible on wc. Why? Well, what is open and countable is from archives, dated 2005 (etc) with newer writes hitting stands as very lacking in basic fundamentals which dictate articles. Most comes without any sources or citations supplied. Often there are online links from a very few authors out of the seven hundred thousand plus members whom supposedly belong to this writing website. Yes, many folks stay inactive. Yes, online at a certain time you may find the same three hundred die-hards.
(Stats an estimation above.)

Tell you what I think? Please. Against all odds, I happen to not believe pennames are valid. I don't cozen to a man or a woman saying they are seventeen, nineteen or fifteen when they sound to be in their thirties. Thus, fake stats provides a bio look which causes --- Wow are you ever smart. Neither do I accept all women are women, all men are men. The ones who refuse to identify themselves by gender or local can go jump in a lake. How about a bio glance as first give-away of spinning falsehood? Maybe yes, maybe no. I must be from Missouri, huh? My Jan. guess for a few consecutive winters runs toward dual memberships causing exactness inside posted site writing per se.

RE: Non Fiction.
Journalism must squeeze into one category labeled "news" ala wc genre choices. Maybe writers forget English Comp 101, which is certainly present during both elementary school & pushed for papers and reports during high school years. If anyone of us is a tad rusty, anywhere one can do research online. There is educational information as to how to write a simple essay. So --- overall --- non-fiction is widely overlooked by a strong majority of writers.

Fiction on the other hand is quite poor actually. And clocks in as way below average. Why we might ask after all this constant review push toward Improve Avenue, Hone Alley and Learn Street --- which is also everywhere on this site ... WHY don't we see better pens? We do see some. Yet, these are rare. We must consider who is handing out writing advice? Novice writers are accepting advice for their works from novice reviewers who provide no backing for what they say. No sources of comparisons crest these fabulous reviews which spin this website into a frenzy. So one may cancel out the other. A useless review can't aide anyone nor change a fiction piece.

Now, reading perhaps as high as ten authors here whose work is in my estimation equal to an A. Only ten. I did give over 2,300 revs. The quality of the fiction is so nasty bad it becomes a chore to read. Which clocks in as painful. Why? I don't know.

I think people may become culled to accept from some higher members or simply very insistent members what is good or passes for good and then in turn become lost in the shuffle. For example, take a look at vocab. This vocab rendered during and inside the works is purely, low-key aka terrible. No one wants to reach? Or we are being led to accept that Young Adult Fiction is now Adult Fiction when it is not, nor will never be.

Look for a rainy day in hell when one day somebody breaks out of the mold around here. Sentence structure must be noun/ subject ... verb/ predicate then the object bringing up the rear of every single paragraph. Why? This is what we see onsite in the genres pouring down like manna from heaven. This is a sham. Writing is never done this way ... not in grade school, high school nor college.

With reviewing, people begin to read word for word, punctuation marks shot at like clay pigeons. And they swing together. Where on this site do we see besides our blog challenges actual discussion on fine worthy LIT from centuries back or from today? Where?

WE became ignored by this site during "TWELVE DAYS OF BLOGGING!"  We are as nothing, but FRONTLINERS likes us. WE value each other. WE are real. Reality shall always make its mark. Non fiction won't overcome nor surpass crap flash fiction here. But there are other places. WDC should know this. WE need not ever think of wc as a single entity. It is a gigantic, space & portfolio providing forum composed of many aspects. It is up to us to fill this gap.

We do not need to spend ultra bucks, buy gp, buy mugs, buy upgrades. All we need to do is write better than the poor work here. That's easy.

We need to stop this I must reviews @ Frontliners must review. BECAUSE after day-after-day of reading piss poor crap ... there will come a time when we feel superior when we are not. We need never dumb down our acumen to fit acute, boring sameness on this site. Do I think the sameness is led by genre newsletters, the only thing relevant to coming close to real articles? Yes. Although what passes for non-fiction in some of those is fictional advice on writing. And I've seen review groups rate according to what THEY are looking to demean rate wise.

Oh, author, beware. By reading thy fellow man, commenting here, you are wasting time. Reviewing is not a requirement here, only an option. When you read poor things, you may risk overexposure and watch your writing submerge to the same level as inferior fiction. The new IN Thing we must focus upon reading and writing about stunning treasures read from libraries, book stores, book fairs.
Of course, LIT is key for both non fiction and fiction. Last week, I found an article from John Steinbeck which this American bard wrote in 19_. Fabulous. If I wrote about it --- it might go directly to my favorite plag. Then I must simply must write her a letter again and ask her IF IF? I sold anything? Not a wc member BTW. Nor naming names. Uh oh an aside. Yup. Giggle, giggle with a ho ho ho and a hee hee hee.

Take a look at Belgrave House an online spot which carries very well done, normal fiction. Make a comparison when you seek superior short stories of an historical nature.
Anyone can read online newspapers from across the entire country. I like ones in Cally, myself. I critique Associated Press for dumbing down, kowtowing to ezine stats.

Don't ever overlook or forget your educational backgrounds. But do be ready to be snubbed for your talent, my dears. Not everyone fits in. All as it should not be. But all these members make their own choices.

Incidentally: RE: Journalism, fearful as a cat caught in a snowstorm, arrives TEFF. One day last week caught a glimmer of perhaps a new trend online. Journalism is finally being looked at for what it be. It can't be learned in a mere instant of one's time to peruse countless 'how to be a journalist.' But believe it or not, this take lingers like dust bunnies, already out there. There is one way to adapt journalism into online writing. This is in my estimation the only way. My first course ran standard semester time of Sept to Dec. Journalism 102 ran Jan to May. Each carries 3 college credits. So ... when newspapers are going under, shrinking or turning out online & print contents at the same time ... Hark!!!

There's this guy, Harkda Eraldangelo who usually rules the roost when it comes to announcing things like changes in wind velocity. He's damn sight, dead-on accurate predicting various fads. The fad shall become ... How to be a Journalist. Writing websites are already hawking this one. But faith in fellow mankind tells Eraldangelo that college fair for either non-traditional students or full-time enrolled students is the only way to fly.

I've even seen a comparison that stipulates that being a journalist makes one a better fiction writer because one can describe details in a supposedly better manner than without journalism. Bullshit. Main thing which makes one a better fiction writer is reading. Then we're back to LIT.

Recently, in two separate places, I came across what Journalism is not. Yet, honest to God, both billed as a slam dunk definition for journalism. The outline given ran approx. 400 words. It is laughable to anyone who knew that description & definition with trite variables remains utterly false.

Over the years here, I saw advice given as to not use adjectives, adverbs, the pronoun it, that writing in first person narration --- one should examine by the keen swipe --- look whose doing the talking --- inside genre nl. I don't receive them: they make me ill. What is not here is clause writing, shot down in its prime as run-on sentences being a big no no.

Weigh all your options, shun what does not work. Myself? After this challenge am taking a month away to decide what's next. Winter/ Spring break time to attack goals, I intend keeping. Time as a volunteer to include others is sliding from my list as fast as snow leaving an aslant roof. Simply too time consuming. Yes, I am thanked and thrilled when four people wrote and said ... they were published because of a plausible direction I steered them toward. Nice.

Blogging may experience a heyday temporarily and hopefully this is so. It now appears very difficult to recover Earl's original Blog Challenge popularity to include or reach an entire site. Why? Snobbery maybe. Renovation of a great contest idea stuns the likes of site echelon. Done by non staff, done by me? I am quite the wildcat, most non popular one amongst us all. Yes, I am a published journalist. Whom shall never forsake my freedom of speech for superficial cant. Aint happening, amigos. Nada, ix-nae on the uddup-shae. Journalism jargon approached by not-in-the-knows, by posters on Highway I-net is taradiddle with convincing boosts from finely 'tuned' fiddles. Here, to attempt to use the J-word is condescending propaganda perhaps married to salable although still how not to. How not to is incorrect, border line ridiculous. But what the hell do I know? Now that this prompt tee-ed me off a bit? Verily, I say unto you ... I know that you know or may know that I know these things for years. Manage to avoid them and try to be nice. AT "AUTHORS DISCUSSION CLUB"  a ken is to speak with all levels of writers. WDC does the same damn thing, always has. Although keeping people in the dark ages is unheard of in lieu of today's markets, of course.

RE: Lukewarm Topics
Then too, folks like backyard, white picket fence scenarios. Do they keep their written works cozy? Sure, then they bear a yellow case, referred to as a promotion, umpteen continuous pats upon prideful shoulders, ongoing applause as they are often know dubbed 'writers.' Numerically, outnumbering such as outspoken Miss TEFFY. Codicil yes men in some cases with perpetual compliments to their pals, themselves and WDC. Of course to each his own. Fun is fun. What is missing is realism. In fact if you look very very closely at the fiction, at the contests, at the articles and think fifth grade at the same time, then multiply by twenty what do you see?

I see a site whose capacity to rise is practically, periodically, seemingly led by children. One brags about being published, and that person can't write at all. I go: can't write? Change occupations, find a hobby. They go ... writing is a chore, it is hard work and it is frustrating. Nope. Babe, that dawg don't hunt nor even howl at the moon. Finally, there will come a calming calamity known as silence.


Silence.
 

Good morning! 'Tis Feb 14.
Happy St. Val's to all of you.

Okay ... In the forum intro, you shall see incentives for your blog topics for March theme. COMING SOON --- FEB 26/27.

There shall be several of those to choose from ... IF you wish to blog on certain topics. There shall be some gp awards or additional March prizes on these themes. Naturally, not all of your thirty-one days shall rivet upon those perspective themes of the future.

However, if you're not into any of those ... that's okay. For the highest word count in March shall be a first time TEFF --500 Words A Day prize of

First Place --- 10,000 gp
Second Place --- 5,000 gp
Third Place --- 3,000 gp

March incentive prizes (on theme topics) as yet are undetermined, nor did I pick specific themes. Bit of a slow thinker, myself.

One of the goals which came to the front of the cable car over @ "AUTHORS DISCUSSION CLUB"  is the hidden behavioral objective (BO) for encouraging writers to stretch via reaching out for the best one can do. Prompts in our FRONTLINER blog contests result in fine blogs, often containing 3 E-s of writing. Entertainment, Education, Escape.

Some of us will be entering

ID: 1633746 Invalid Item  This item number is not valid. by Not Available.

So boogie on over there to sing up, then easily check out the only site, "blog challenge" going in FEB. Folks love blog challenges, so it seems. Anyone can craft one and hosting those varies, available to all who wish to do contests. Hope to see more onsite, as I enter them. Mine was: "TWELVE DAYS OF BLOGGING!" 

Blogging, I've even called a sport, since like writing it is fun.
{post:

You may email me for entry into any of my groups. Namely: "AUTHORS DISCUSSION CLUB" 
"FAST TRACK VOCAB BUFFS" 

FEB, as previously determined during this transition period is a free month. However, anyone is still eligible for placement like above, for: First, Second, Third .. but without prizes. Best let me settle in, make changes now, etc. Then we are steady on.

Now, here's an important thing to remember as an option. Whenever, you find you have written a blog which is: helpful on writing,
educational as to geographic or historic nature,
whatever ...
or an eye-opening bit of: timely world news
or regional news,
or anything YOU FEEL is a great blog

... Certainly, dear members, you MAY post that entry into our group only forum. That's a wide arena per subject matter as anything covers it all, my friends.

You may do fiction on your blogs, as before when chapters go up, or when serials are in the making. Using the forum is a true communication means.

ID: 1214633 Invalid Item  This item number is not valid. by Not Available.

VERY IMPORTANT
NEW & OLD RULES.

All bloggers agree as members to attempt to write at least 500 words per day or .... 15,000 per month.

Specifics ... say on March 3, you went to work, came home, made dinner, read a book, went to bed. Ahah, missed a day of daily blogging did we? Old members, how many times? Countless for moi.

So we allow a "CYBER SIDE OF BLOG LIFE/ CLOSED"  makeup blog. Makeup blogs carry -- the word "MAKEUP" and date missed. In your blog ID items, with your title for that blog, plus your daily word count.
Thus:
CLOWNS DISPUTE COSTUME DUPLICITY/ Makeup/1/18/wd: 607
(Sequence up to you, of course)

So, let's consider --- all of March blew past. BEFORE APRIL 10, you must tally all your word counts for your daily blog word counts. Yup, no changes there.

RE: non makeup days. Yes, continue to add daily counts to each blog you write. E.g. For new or returning members, this is the same as in Joy's time (pre-Teff/ Joy Transition of the group.)

Blog title would simply be

BABY JESUS DISCOVERED HEALTHY/wds:500
(sequence up to individual)

It is not necessary to post your daily word count or blog into the forum. Rather not see numbers there until monthly word counts appear when each month ends. You can post your tiles, then any entry by entry no: {entry: xxxxx } close bracket ... while producing an entry for sister bloggers to click upon. Showing me & members pertinent blogs to be read, if you like. Not a requirement.

If, you want to offer us an important, ground breaking blog, you think may be reading interest to the group ... be my guest, by all means post on. Include the entry no. That entry no is in the far corner right hand side of each blog we write. Listen, I've returned hundreds of books to the library if by the second chapter I've declared to myself ... oops not for me. At this point you merely have a venue to reach readers by titles, then on with the spectacular contents.

Inside, our group page, there is a re-vised group lingo as pertains to keeping the old path (which works) and additional blog news for this group. So please visit ====>>

ID: 1214629   (Rated: 18+) CYBER SIDE OF BLOG LIFE/ CLOSED  500 WRDS --- DISENFRANCHISED by FICTION!! FANDANGO!!

Thus, bring yourself and your blog into the future of TWENTY TEN.

If you think you're jumping around, we all are ... another basis of blog ID, forum posts, site navigation etc. Suppose you too create a new blog challenge with a specific bitem in contest genre === Sure: Post it in the forum. We'll catch the drift.

By April ... we can allow more themes from members. Perhaps, later agree on an obvious way to vote for those best of blogs ... still a bit into the future. This need not be up to me only, although my rep as a contest judge is pretty sharp. Nor do I think those competing for other than numerical word count prizes should be denied recognition for stunning blogs.

One step further. Thanks for reading BTW. Okay, let's do May in a partial format ... a supposition, an idea.

E.g. MAY THEMES (Not prompts)
THEMES
Spring
Vegetable gardening/recipes
Birthdays

May's 31 days surely won't require steady on with these ... But a blogger (by choice --- not a rule) may take their time to try a few. Now, they might discover they truly like their best ones. As writers, if you don't like the piece, chances are nobody else will. So, its ready ... enter the blog title in the forum. Maybe you'll win for that theme.

What if you just hit the ceiling because you found a topic to extol about --- post it in the forum. Share your best whether theme or non theme.

I hope I am being clear on this. Voting can take place in the forum as well. And guess what? Eventually, you'll be reading OP blogs to chose a winner. See?

These are blog incentives of the year TWENTY TEN. Themes are open by the month for suggestions by members of this group.

That's the soft sell. Personally, I like research, LIT (published book sums/reports/ suggested reading/ book reviews) controversial aspects of the world around us. You need not like what I like. What do you like? And please visit these listed blog challenges to cadge an idea of where this missive aims. "Invalid Item" 

At all times ... we are still rewarding for the most words written in one month.

March --- post all your words counts on each blog, no cheating, of course. TALLY those yourself by April 10.

Post your monthly word counts, aka a final word count for the entire month into the forum. Take a look at what another blog looks like from the list of blog/ book IDs.

These word counts I'll check, plus trust you and whoosh ... prizes on the way. As before ... no verbatim of copied articles, nor published works, nor e-zine works. Sent reviews/WDC way ala c/p is okay, as before.

Now, head out to the forum, do check all TEFF posts for FEB pertaining to changes, records of what was in the group ways & means, related how tos. Hopefully, you should still recognize our splendid group motto to ??? Let me hear it. Bit louder, I say. Yes, you're correct ... to? To?

To write 500 WORDS A DAY!!
TEFF

PS: Okay, lastly. Believe it or not, I'm taking an active/ wc-volunteer -- month off, starting pretty soon.

PLEASE!!! PLEASE, POST IDEAS, QUESTIONS COMMENTS @ "Invalid Item" 
I cannot do justice to individual emails. Sorry.

Yes, now managing this group already in existence. Yes, trying, yes whizzing about ... that is why FEB is a free month.

For your homework, should you choose to accept your mission. Please familiarize yourself with the sample turn of bringing blogging into TWENTY TEN stats when prompts & themes are used in blog challenges. Although rules vary per blog challenge, an overall contest variety are exactly some of the things I hope to instigate here --- monthly. Why? Well, I happen to believe writing is competition, one of its many attributes.

AND, our word counts are still this groups NO. ONE Priority!!! That shall never change. How come? BECAUSE IT WORKS to keep us writing on & on & on, Summer to Fall, Winter to Spring as our many blogs prove these past two years.

Thanks ... I yield the balance of my time to the next blogger & poster.

Have a great Valentine's Day this very Sunday, FEB 14, 2010.

No work today, kniting ensues. BINDING five years of writing advice for all levels into a disc. For sale ... from ADC, RWW, so gadzooks ...

How much time involement for my own things ala c/p spells my owned cross reference. Meanwhile, watching DVD ... Knitting knee length slippers for a Teffom relative. A beauty, now an author in her own right. Planning, outlining by topic. Then I went flash fic/ new blog group for lighter ... so far. Can use all listed vocab words in edits. So far pushing polishing four articles per diem from predates & newies among TEFF blog-rites each unique, recap worthy ... a basis to expound ... lead on ... lecture. The compling mounts for MY past non-fiction, cited journalism, how to, definitions ... honest heartfelt, educational work with timely FEB additions on the side for "Invalid Item" . Using: " WEEKLY RACY VOCAB FORMS" 

Showing --- Format by subject from any year. Yes, my real webpages have ultra space. Yummy as funny cakes hiding inside a snow shaded kitchen window on a glass plate beside chrystal ice sickles on the porch. The snow is level with the porch, pines overburdened, gorgeous. My compact volvo is gone to snow. A lumpy cake covered by vanilla icing if stars dare to glimmer, pre-dawn's gloaming atmosphere. Planet E to overehead blue mountains ... is this true? Beneath a sliver moon, a slice of light ... find four feet drifts. Snow blows sideways, lingers against material objects bigger than a mailbox. Then bursts, sweeping landscapes, airy wet sand upon a dune. Snowmobile riders assault arcane scenes as an only sign of life.

Wow!!!

Grumpy ... anyways ... people should try harder methinks. Why type as in discuss manually how to write prompts last autumn ...? Bothersome.

Hey, I'm outahere. Fed up, ticked off, cold and insulted. My stuff is mine. The wicked witch of the west is riding high on jobs well done. Authors Discussion CLUB enters any online arena in 2007, with sound advice. Teffom came to bear witness in Oct 2005.

"Aaron, can we ... prompts?"  

TO: Works of the Month
        by: Aaron-ABNA DONE!!!  (goldfighter3@Writing.Com)

Message #2042008, posted on 02-11-10 @ 5:23 am EST,


Subject:   Aaron, can we ... prompts?
Aaron dear ... Judges do like reading stories not carrying boredom, same old, same old. Sammy, a pandering card shark, had his hands full one day. He had to write a story about a late night phone call. Drat!!!

Did he use his cell?

Childhood in a prompt instigates a lid on only one section of a personal side of life. Or as fiction denotes ties to the writer ... often novice writers may glide in assuming characters as self as child becomes tedious. Old hat to some. Today lies outside this door, Aaron.

Writers avoid must be the child as a child. Yet, one sees juvenile or young adult Lit in some cases. The childhood this that yesterday today and tomorrow coupled with childhood is wildy overdone onsite.

If you offer a free FEB winter ... go ahead .... without ruling to use the sentence in bold so the reader, revver checks it off ... saves time deciphering a true short story mode ... I might enter this contest. In today' broad markets, print & ezines seek also no-form short stories ... a push.

Then readers may be going ... what is this about for a spate. No one need know at title post.

Prompts here could be ... St. Val's, deep snow ... romance .. chocolat ...
Adding this post to WRITERS WAR ...

The Suggestion ...

A FREE PROMPT ... ENTER A NEW OR OLD SHORT STORY OF YOUR CHOICE, NO WORD COUNT TREND. Then sit back and enjoy traditional short stories, most likely.

Seriously, if one adheres & adapts to possibilities while offering a prompt contest, a given is that these required nuances by subject ... or short untettered action ... bait those special writers. As I once mentioned in an earlier email ... these prompts must be brief ... interesting/ intriguing ... in short beckon. Seasonal and timely help attract submissions.

Also ...
Bye ...

In the meantime hope not to hear this critique-type, off-the-cuff, suggestion hurts your feeling in any way, lad. It is for material, the contest roundup line at hand. Where do you attend uni, Aaron?

Should I win, Aaron, I do not need revs, thanks anyways.

Let's see ... have a great blizzard story but it runs about four thou.
The End

===============================
Lastly:
RE: WRITERS WAR ... Fandango is stressed out. No, wont stand down as if what I know, you know I know should not forever remain hidden and unkown. It is already known by the best of the best. You know there is no category level of writing striving to be unkown. Generally, my blogs follow a no holds barred attitude when I write whatever I prefer. Period. And by the way when http://acewriting.com goes ..."you dont even need periods ..." Big fat boo!!! BOOO!!! jump of that stage!!! BOOO!!!

Yes, you do. That writing wesbite offers errors re: creative punctuation while non basis count me into topic misses ... sprout defieicinet vim & vigor wise. Unlike curly parsley which is in fact freezes quite atractively pushed below snow. Teff does not like green eggs nor ham writers. Especially detest choppy re-writes. Go forth, swing left or right when finding many worhtless spots. Do surf instead for accuracy. Lately online is gangbusting definitions for journalism. Some try style and cant explain this either. So I know what I know. Ya know? Now, I'm selling it by heavy blanketfuls of earmarked category blends.

Part Uno ... Shifts flash fic & blog groups ... hmmm?



 

Reposting ... a note/ a post/ a word on the above topic. While "Invalid Item"  is just setting inside my noggin as a wonderful place which as it is last month shall be truly missed.

OLD HABITS DIE HARD   02-03-10 @ 8:06 am EST
  by: TEFF GONE FISHING (84)  


Much gratitude left my desk in thank you notes for Joy, who offered us rewards these many years for the sheer joy of blogging.

Blogging, BTW nowadays comes with a term list online. It enters a marketing concept for some. Others maintain a freedom from conventional forms of writing.

Who here doesn't love to blog?

Old habits are hard to stifle. Each morning I still quit the arthritic nature of a great night's sleep ... then zoom to keyboard, Mickey walking over the desk. Cat no. 2 -- Big Whitey snuggling close to write for Joy. Then for an unknown audience, while bugaboos, sarcasm or a tad bit of wit ensue re: various topics.

I hope we all stay current from the lessons Joy instilled upon us. We can do this thing the world dubs blogging.
Daily achieve our 500 words plus mark.
FANDANGO wrote on this topic, Joy's title here ... for the last two days ... already, this post a replay.

Who here is absent one day, back another in each their own room ... their blog, comfortable, happy ... or sad ... still essaying along?

Let's stay together, even though we are perhaps guilty of not reading all the blogs, commenting less and less.

**During Frontliner blog challenges --- writing per se blends with constant comment sections open to all.

Well, it has been a true trip. Joy supplied a slice of heaven, motivation for moi since March 2008. In fact, I for one shall be always blogging along. If it twern't for Joy's "500-Words-a-Day Group"  I probably would never own now what I do in written pieces. Joy put the learn into stamina & deadline recall for this freelance journalist. My last published article appeared locally in DEC, 2007, no biggy.

Viva Joy, the best & kindest, most generous person one is likely to cross paths with ... for their own betterment.

Thank you, Miss Joy.
Sincerely from the
Your friend, TEFF

Perhaps by now our hearts as in are aligned as one sometimes. We need bid farewell to

ID: 1214629   (Rated: 18+) CYBER SIDE OF BLOG LIFE/ CLOSED  500 WRDS --- DISENFRANCHISED by FICTION!! FANDANGO!!

When this announcement came down the wire, sadness overtook this blogger to be sure. Action quickly followed. In case a future need arose to stay in touch ... came: Copying the list of blog bitems in my own personal notes, writing to Miss Joy, then a long, major pause, a time to reflect. I first joined this group in March of 2008. My meticulous word counts became legendary month after months as piles of scrap paper tallied my scores as each well aimed blog title put pen to paper and word counts lingered as if success were truly mine. Each end of the month ... say Jan 2010 was the same darn thing. The scramble to reach a happy goal of 15,000 words per month. Many months besides balancing a stiff budget this was my only math stretch. The numbers added up, either I was over or under, the dates showed blogs of value, wit, acumen, research topic by topic. But what about the work itself?

TEFF's first blog filled up, faltered, resurfaced and rode it out to the end in a sarcastic flame of glory. That was JUNEBUGS & ELDERBERRY WINE, Lamborghiniville, USA. Dedicated to my father who died in FEB, 2005.

So we were attached from the start Daddy and me ... where rare blog conversations to him took on a new life of their own from JUNEBUGGY conception in March of 2005.

Junebugs is alive and well as full as a stuffed hamper of picnic treats. Yes, it has some recipes, some serials, some political extravaganza, much war protest and the slam dunk of all time ... a few words on gurj bu.

Here at FANDANGO, we do not see the same staff ... like Bobby & Gina from the BYO CAFE ... but we get by, make do
nonetheless. All because of those tiny 500 words per day.

Last week on FANDANGO, tried a dialogue story with a 500 word limit. Possible for moi? No not really, took one from 805, cut it down to 612, deleted the 612 and said oh the hell with it. You see.

So who cares? Who the hell ever cares? Maybe we told ourselves Joy cared when as that first Spring of 2008 turned to summer and she sent gp to all winners, huge amounts which went as a far as the moon, as long as the Nile. WE cared. The group cared. We posted our mini gratefulness in the 500 WORDS forum, we wrote over that daily amount, tripled the score on good days. Basically, Bloggers of the era start out with something to say. On any topic.

When Earl PubNewEbook offered his very original 31 DAY BLOG CHALLENGE, DEC 2008 ... TEFF clocked in at fifth place. Later, Earl told me, my work in the forum and on my blog was "paramount" to the contest. Currently, we speak of a co-authored venture to go beyond the climate of sitewide and into the wide world beyond the wc doorway.

Currently, I hope to contain FANDANGO to standards Joy set down for the group of bloggers, male & female. Those of us who came away sated customers, achieved more than the daily, monthly word count, as we competed for the prizes. Each of us was awarded gift point for bloggin on & on. The loveliness of Joy's creation stands the test of time. She passed it on to each one of us to use and savor as we see fit. It was always about individual style, subject choices.

If I ever owned that bitem which fits the sig below ... I would rename it ...

500 WORDS PER DAY --- THE JOY OF BLOGGING as a dedication to this fine WC lady who without prejudice, gave us a chance, took us all on, and in a way showered us with kindness and generosity like no other in a realm of e-writing, in front of an entire, world wide web.

JOY, to you I express ... a humble appreciation. With bouts f numerous thank you notes over the years, I believe you understand. Multiply this by those who wrote in your group upon their unique individualized topics, themes or even personalized blogs and always continue to take a bow for a job well done, forever bring up the smile upon your lovely face. For re-teaching us the reach of the deadline pen, for encouragement via huge, generous, monthly rewards and winners lists, by being there when sometimes the only one about is this crazy cat, Whitey. Both Whitey and Mickey send their sincere regards, Miss Joy. You will always be our favorite Valentine.

Closing things to the net .. as we speak ... deleting any info for my other haunts. Blogging eleswhere --- no announcements as to local --- no apolgies since I do not like green eggs and ham nor being followed about too closely. For TEFFOM talent, I experience much prejudice here, fans quiet or never identified; I read a lot of things yesterday which set my hair on fire re: a subject I was told not to ever approach, so I never do. But, sure everyone is aware of it who e-posts their stuff. People don't quote things they find and this is incorrect. All my stories are closed to be on the safe side. Writers War holds that places which are social networking spots are not exactly compatible to ....

God, I'll be up all night.

So happy today due to wiping out these past revs which remind me of how awful I acted, when thinking reviewing is important. It isn't worth so much time. Who gains? A busy site which rewards for rev but not for writing and making new things. Which truly is based on content bossiness and a backward take on story writing. The creation of anything else probably nigh impossible for me, since my carrier, my ISP is stricken from use for word counts etc. If it comes down to it, the PC goes online anyday of the week. Oh that's right, TEFF cares not a whim. I did figure a way to keep any ref to this site out of WRITERS WAR, which should please them. I'm positive they advert as they see fit. They never needed me, still don't. Plus if things are shrinking must check all my copies of anything here. And yes, always cute when all around me in my AD CLub, Earl's blog challenge, 12 Day Blogging all went y/c. Cute, real cute clocking in as the yearly slap in the face for what? Being published when I came here? Not writing better, couldn't be that. Two way street, after all, not my highway, but yeah my closed port.

That's all okay since I am moving to Canada in a few weeks and we have a publisher so no sense crying over the things I did or didn't do here. Some around cheer don't know how to accept apologies nor give them, this is certain. And the snob cartel only seeks inferior writing so they can show how they may rev and change even the last vestige of one's freedom to create. What should have happened was less jealousy of TEFF's gift, an appreciation* for her groups, contests, stories and poems and writing advice which when all is said & done is the more honest version than toss backs to closed minds and the Bronte Sisters.

Now, they won. I do not one more thing for fellow writers. Let's see what generous new outcomes instigate from their end when all the members finally wake up. What we will continue to see is a slight tissue for communication geared to the favorites who promote each word out of their own and their bud's mounths. Not a damn thing to do with writing as it contnues to support a tiny kingdom of followers who keep their valuable ideas about writing to themselves. If there are any at all, which after 5.5 years is doubtful. How people honestly cash that salary check and say all people are dumb and gulllible is a travesty. I never saw a more selfish group of teens in my life.

My main concern is that nothing in any of my bitems leaks out. I want it all to be mine and mine alone. If I want an audience I already have several.

*Even those who stood behind me, couldn't overwrite the ones who mattered most to this site. Like Cowbell week above back in 2007 --- my original CASE OF A BLACKCASE FORUM met controversy from a purple case, who wanted to run it and me from her comments on her blog. Well, who owns TEFF? TEFF! Yeah, she got in the way of a great controversy, and became insulted by default. Comedy Lounge broke up, folks were out on parole or sprung, so the site never heard from them again either. The closed mind attitude to writing is in the rev speak, which is praised and it is very wrong. All the best writers never come here, all the best writers leave wc. There will come a day when wc throws in the towel, thus we manage our copies of all we write. Now when a staff constantly writes on the exact same subjects as me, sure it looks like they do so on purpose in the past. Of course, those topics are timely, often seasonal, but sometimes without a single word of praise just re-vamped. That happened in the past ... WRITERS WAR is untouchable by such palsy article or nl writers. Sometimes the staff writing is so bad, one fears for sanity. Why would anyone want that to be a boast for a writing website? At that point money is lost, not gained. When one hundred pieces from staff's alter pennames still can't entertain, nor educate nor be called other than boredom, something should change, but it only gets worse.

llllllllll DEC lllllllllllllll SIDEBAR llllllllll Now as tie in, an author stepping out of rev shoes ... thinking 'tis moi who grabs tiny paper scraps because wrapping paper is pretty and one does not condone wastefulness ... thus saving a keepsake
ensues. Everyone at our house hates that; they are as protective of gift paper as they are their own children.
lllllllllllllllllll

"Put the pedal to the metal, Winston. We better rush over there."

"Linda, this old pickup will take us there right quick. Hang on!"

"This damn storm. Can you beleive this deluge? Your radio better work. Winston, I kid you not."

"THIS IS A PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENT FROM THE NATIONAL WEATHER BUREAU. Storm warnings are in effect for parts of coastal North Carolina. Including, Morehead City, Emerald Isle, Swansboro and Camp Lejune. Repeat ... expect an offshore gale of up to forty knots. Predicted flash flooding in these areas. In short, we are seeing at least eleven inches of rain within the next five hours, carrying into Carteret and Onslow counties."

"Don't worry, Linda, the kids are over there. They'll be inside the restaurant. Good thing they took rooms at the motel last week."

"I must admit, they work their butts off, just like us. Now, this. I'm worried about parking lots and picture windows."

"Me too. If we lose power, freezer and walk-in are next on the list."

"Winston, look out for that tree branch!"

SCCCCcccccccreeeeeeeeeeeech!

"Missed it, luv. Things start flying about, we're talking 'cane winds. So far only a tropical storm."

"Dark as the grave out here. Summer time like this ... daylight arrives by 6 a.m."

"Only another two miles. Darlin', hold my hand."

"Let's pray, hon. Our father, bless that freaking restaurant we staked about ten thousand dollars of our life savings into, please Lord?"

"Add the part about not wanting to sink into debt, Linda."
======================================

"Mom! Don't go in there! Wait, we need to tell you ...."

"Jenny, step aside. Aint no way you're hiding the worst from me. We'll handle whatever it is ..."

"Oh, Mom ... I'm so sorry with opening day only three days off ... Mom?"

"Oh my GOD!! Winston, watch where you step."

"Where's Skeeter, Jenny?"

"He went for shovels, Dad. Vince from the motel sent him to the tool shed."

"In my wildest worries, I never expected the roof to cave. Did anyone see this coming? Hand me some rubber gloves, Jenny. You're closest to the sink."

"Linda, it's impossible. Has the ceiling actually fallen on the floor? Lord, I believe it has ... holy cow .. there's plaster atop everything. Even the coffee urns are white as snow."

"Mom, Skeet's back. Look! Him and Lil Jeremy brought more trash cans. I filled those two by the door soon after we heard the crash."

"You heard it come down? Really?"

"Sure, woke everyone up. They evacuated the motel. Folks stood under eaves in pajamas until they figured out it was back here. Say, when was this place built?"

"1948. Golden Goose survived Hurricanes Alice back in '55, then Hugo in '87."

"Now, what do you fellers recommend."

"Mom, how about a wrecking crew or hazmat removal. This stuff could be coated with fiberglass and ..."

"And what, Skeeter?"

"Asbestos."

"Why, we'll need toss all the dry goods which were left out. The bread cart is as flat as a pancake."

"Well, let's section off. Everyone pull a plastic bag over your clothes. Skeet, know anyone with slickers handy?"

"Yeah, me. I got a few fishing ones saved up for just this event."

"Go fetch 'em, son. Jenny, you try the center counters. Linda, take the sink area. I'll start on the dish room. Jeremy, you man the entrance. It's flat over there. Just take your shovel and slide it gently across the floor. That's the way, son."

"Dad, do you think there's any hope?"

"Why, sure, there's always hope. Soon as I make it to the wall phone, I'll call some fellers. We'll make this ship shape in time ...

"Time? Grand opening as scheduled, Winston. I'm in."

"Be careful, Linda, here, cover your hair. Jen, find the maids, ask for more gloves."

"Look at that sky. Still pouring, Granddad."

"Well, not much new. Hey, where there's a will, there's a way."

"I hear that, Dad. Mom?"

"He's right. We'll make it. We can do it, Jen. So much for family business acumen, huh?"

"Look, here comes volunteers. Lordy they brought coveralls. We just met them last night. Fishermen came down from Raleigh."

"Winston, clear that coffee urn, we'll need it."

"Yes, dear."

"Mom, I love you."

"Me too, Grandma."

"Thanks, you two. Remind me to break down after we bank our first week's profit. Good thing, Winston insisted on insurance."

"This landlord better give us a free rental for his nasty roof. Right, Linda."

"You better beleive it? Ha ha, hee what about breakfast & lunch?"

"And dinner?"

"Good lord, ye olde laughter in the face of irony. Unreal! This disaster runs wall to wall. At least the dining room's okay. It's only the kitchen."

"The entire kitchen has a ceiling on the floor. Amazing. At least there's no rain coming inside ...

"That roof's holding. Skeeter checked."

"Best count our blessings, I always say."

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>>>>
 

The fact this blogger, a novelist, a poet, a journalist, a short story-ist overcame rev world defeatism is duly recognized. Although praying that nicey nice subterfuge shall not affect a class of live writers we love so well, toward counter productive "help" the subject lies like a deflated parachute flapping in the wind across lawns, yards, alleys and byroads of the train we don't all call wc. I call it that because it carries an assortment of materials from genre choices made by writers & readers who board this baby. When a revver admits to not writing, seldom writing or in some rare cases saving the best for elsewhere (places unidentified) best sit back in your window seat and look out that naked window since you are not going to be treated to anything of value here from all members. The train pulls out, people wave good bye and you are rather stuck with trite announcements from a handful who only play reviewing. They do not write other than reviews, but those they hand in prolifically by the hour. Not all revs publicly mailed, no actual percentage private for ones ... known to mankind, of course. To find the overall assumption that writers of and aboard the train cars, passengers who post items open to reviews, write poorly is not a fair lumping of a coffee filtered blend of their stories, poems or articles by any means. Thus ends the if you can't tell where the best of your former glorious writing appears then that dog don't hunt. Ours is here because we post, write, review and rhyme. Thus concludes this broadcast. In WRITERS WAR a passage is likely under construction to crest the differences as approaches to much of the above.

The Christmas revs are going fine. These are story sums, complimentary and graciously delivered from a contest hostess viewpoint. Incredible as it seems, this author tends to overlook the worst of the insider information tauted like the quest for the Holy Grail when folks clock in with umpteen put downs for novice works (and I don't mean my own fabulous stories, stuff aiming to address an unknown audience and written from the heart.) Ten stories not real good do not in anyway over ride ten stories that are okay, nor six which are damn decent and more & more which embrace realism. Besides nicey nice is not a criteria of writing a single fucking sentence, so this we realize and move along. Nor is critique a part of writing a great story. If one sits at the keyboard seriously fearful of the many no don't do that, never use this that and t'other and please consider your plot, character whatever the gang is into in rev world underpasses this month ... creativity is tied to the desk chair, the author becomes strangled. Most of us should never begin that way ... and guess what we don't. The latter is akin to low word count suffocation, thus a tie to the above. Maybe there will come a day when writers will go out on strike, let profound revvers write the stories instead. Especially since they want it all to fit their reading/ commentary preference. Hee, hee, if they can write at all, without looming above someone else's originality ... all part & parcel to rev self centering. A revver is below the salt. Accept all authors are above the salt and a new philosophy is born.

Bore numerous peeps with items on comma usage, e.g. and one simply shows non mettle adeptness at not knowing very much about the world of LIT. It's out here, we can research it, read it, carry it around in our purses, stack it in the back seat of the car. Nor must anyone dissuade the public (members onsite) from reading access since they shall find the best of the best. Most serious writers know, understand & seek the reading for pleasure game. Everything else is superficial, therefore of no consequence whatsoever when polishing a final draft.

Came across a guy being a woman again this month. Born yesterday is not in this author's cards. Sorry, won't ever happen. So bugger off, go ahead, move around, away from TEFFY ... in short try to fool someone else. Continue as a clone, thass your conscience to deal with not mine. No pity, no apologies. Realism is my bag and it enters fiction. Less finger pointing, please. To pretend to be stupid all the time does not impress. It aint even cute. So passing on this one as well. We're not put on this earth to deny our gender characteristics. To do so in the capacity of approaching a crowd who cannot see your face, call out your real name is a sham. No two ways about it. Now you are stuck, so as you play the game ??? This is ripe, done everyday online. Not a damn thing new about that formal subterfuge. Which BTW never would have found this ridiculous ploy seldom carried out in the past, always discovered, seldom employed re: formal writing via actually writing or ducking the issue and writing about writing. All pre I-net e-writing, e-posting, e-communication, of course.

Others say they save their best for places like facebook. REad a bit on parenting over there one day as wc tie and fell promptly asleep. Never read anything that overwordy, verbatim for a long, long time. And I did do 2,345 revs here. That featured facebok article was far worse.

Some declare that they punch wc into a lesser category holding online e-writing. No idear what goes down on Inkspot since I am not privy to this realm open only to premium wc members, so I don't read there. Some may linger above the train, yet kinda ride on the slippery roof of crowded passenger cars. They dip down to hand out a stale cracker or lukewarm tea to anything which meets there fancy. AKA milquetoasts runs this mundane effective form of conceit, usually unjustified by the printed products they produced in any way shape tor form. Can't put down all the sig shops, of course not! Some may feel above, unreachable, willing to pretend to play, saving their ultra best for other places online. The train is not worthy of their dedicated participation via current writes. So long. Glad we weren't a bit close. Poke & prod ...

Other than that came to this blog to write on a book found last week. FANDANGO plans a detective theme for FEB. Promises to gather a few quotes passed away since today's outline means more at this moment than you can ever know. It means freedom from hypocrisy, adherence to realism and a devil may care approach to a new place for me to stomp. I do not do so at great peril. I possess a gift aka talent. Keeping in touch is easy for me. Teffy has fair contests, forums, clubs. Am unused to denying my gift of gab and can't ... so sure no dumming down at this home known as TEFFOM ESTATES.

How about youse?
What about y'all?

PS: IF --- one reader or any reader visiting here @ "FICTION FANDANGO, A WRITER'S BLOG!"  didn't fully equate or understand this blog ... trust me darlins you are much better of not knowing what I know. But I can handle ins & outs of this insider trading, so don't worry. It's just sad when it could be a lot better. A ton bettter if everyone tried harder. Not everything that is hailed as new is good or better. Facebook for example is reportedly on the way out. Yahoo still holds a search tool of value and worth. How facebok overcame You Tube in popularity is unknown by this humble author. I could care less, but then I don't believe everything is popular if it is supposedly hailed & rehailed. That, my dears is why foxnews remains in business, although it is crushed as nearly extinct as far a breaking news is concerned. Which also spells journalism is highly important, takes a place of pride & joy @ Moffett Estates, as well it should. Kids, it's called experience and cannot be denied, hidden or played down.

Thus this is how we put the boop in the boop sheh boop. Facts of an extrovert-ism surround. Am I thinking about poor souls inside, residents of my .. uh ... for want of using the slammer, or the Big House ... uh ... Cell Block D when I close this blog? No, not in the least.

But shall allude to the fact that on Cell Block D ... all writers think alike, , sound alike, write alike, post alike in very short sentences. Do they exist in real life? Probably yeah, they could. But truly, haven't the foggiest, luvs.

How about youse?
What about y'all?

IDEALS, IDEARS, INTENTIONS ...
by teffom@writing.com

Had this friend once, a co-worker cook, as harried as all the rest of us working ourselves into a frenzy during the season in coastal Carolina. Janie hailed from Jersey ad never said idea properly. It was always idear for her or idears.

Ideas for selling fiction are paramount at this clean as clean can be household this month, as per the New Year's resolution. Webring awaits in the wings. Now there is less problem with worry re: who is reading offline and who who who --- whoever. Fading into the Internet landscape comes with a price. Not mullah for writing website fees, just stamina uh kinda like revised presentations. A huge dollop of courage meeting and greeting new folks.

Last week, saw a book title in the new section at the library where this author hangs about doing things, shelving mainly, copping a book jacket here, taking home a DVD there, this all becomes akin to shopping. Well, the title escapes at the moment but is about facebook origins. Not a pretty description and not a book I hope to ever read, unless for a research theme.

Today heard on PNR public news radio, local from Philly that China & google are at odds. The reporter went on for forty-five boring minutes about loss of revenue, comparisons with yahoo, how daily invasion into private files is evident via the thing they call gmail. Yikes! What is never said that of a population of 300 million in the USA it is doubtful 100 million people are connected online, sport an email or are web addicted. I'm here to say the myth of being internet savvy and assumption that this means better (if so in any way shape or form --- better? Better! than the guy who refuses net contact or a dabbler because he has to be) is about to fade.

Is it right for children to imitate parents and teachers ... they may do so willingly or because they like to mimic what adults or big sister and brother are into. Take a four year old sitting at a computer, watching cartoon characters ... teach (teach?) then see the same kid in his/ her computer lab in first grade. How much do we need? How much do we condone? When does the fantasy side of daydreaming stop because of over exposure to PC use both offline and online?

Today, one does not even consider making the grade in college courses. These all are bent at the knee worshipers of online tasks. A college student needs a laptop, a connection for same and is often ridiculously even denied a course synopsis on a piece of paper from a prof who rules like a mini dictator. So once more time lost ... looking up and handing in the assignments which could be a simple typed, edited, polished homework criteria met with the simple piece of paper modus operandi. These one managaes to hold in the hand ... not bring up on a screen. The screen is sold, purchased, requires electricity, needs to be paid for generally monthly. Progress, so called benefits financially only for a few ... Microsoft, Windows, other ISPs.

Money, money, money. Walk across the room, pull out a dictionary from a bookshelf. I can find the word for you faster than an online search, search, search. And if you ask me not much is safe nor private. Shall there come the big crash? Just copy it all on disc, don't depend on hard drive, luvs.

Anyways the idears of mine can probably fill a small book. The need to write stories is inside me and flourishes all year long. No, I am not impressed by the PNR talk today, heard that one in the car. The girl speaker continued to use a new catchall word, stolen over a decade ago to now include anything to do with computers. That word is technology. She goes ... technology this, technology that. The inside of a supersonic jet contains technology. The cash register at the deli operates on technology. But now this is applied to mean online, PC updates, use of PCs, online access, those selling the search engines, those hoofing the adverts ... controlling --- yes controlling emails.

Now, here's the best of the scam, a scheme like no other in decades of historical win lose capitalism and entrenpeue ship in the USA and the world, not only English speaking countries. Right now insert into your listening noggins how Canada is upset with certain popular websites ---

Its done like this --- YOU MUST LEARN how to be online, etc, etc ... Christ, its rather easy, right? Someone goes ... ... I know we --- Tell them they are nothing unless they are PC, techno worthy brilliant internet users ---

Internet supposedly spelled with the capital I ... insists ... Like, hey I know ... let us:

Make all students PC knowlegdeable, and place all job applications into the category of online only.

Grab .... all the banks, all the stores, all the libraries ....

all ALL the townships and local governments ... start by pulling in the schools ... especially high school & college. (1994-99)

... all education must be PC online attached. So ...

Sorry, back to the few pages of Faulkner, shall conquer this evening. Now of hard core, page turning, book propping reading ... that, I've time for as I vow to step back from an online addiction. When I do seek a publisher, sure it is said this is most difficult ... but it will be a print publisher who offers no online inclusions of the work.

Au revoir. Quiet here, no blog hits since yesterday when there came two blog views before spell check was even complete ... at five am?

Man, tha asss popularity for yee, mates.

RE: overheard ... among middle school students ... "Did you just text yourself?" Laughter.

Texting is relative verizon type category, an online specific word.

Now, thought the other day to revive a few toss backs to reality. Perhaps teach a class on how to write a letter. Note to self: Check costs & availability of local stores for writing paper and envelopes.

Next: check used shops and flea markets ... collect these since they were on the way out reportedly. And write a few letters ... include cartoons, hand drawn for the kids.

And make some envelopes, writing paper or letter paper with drawings by hand. Try to find those favorite colored pen collections in the Art Kit you take to the beach. Toss out the sand, smell it first to recall freshness of a salty sea.

By the way of the above ... never expect a reply ... you'll probably receive a return email card which you cannot hang on the wall, Miss TEFF.

Of texting, cell phones etc ... there are those of us amongst the 300 million citizens who like time to themselves and do not feel any pushed to the hilt, stupid need to communicate hourly on mundane trite subjects. We kinda like our freedom. I for one shall never buy a cell phone, accept a free one. Simply a tried and true basic rule of life, pretty much new wave, old school. Dig?


 

Well, since you asked, there's this child who has a toy cash register which talks, tells her she's a princess when she purchases. Need the kid's hat size since the good old fashioned side of life purports taking up pointy needles and knitting in the winter time at this house. Where dance class, FANDANGO blog, essay, article worthy in its own damn right is going, going gone to group only. Therefore although in two groups ... with a word to the wise at FRONTLINERS ... FANDANGO closes to the I-net, etc.

Shockingly that group (CLUB) saw 207 members when in fact we have only 203 last weekend. Sunday is reading day, and Saturday went that way due to the novel mentioned below, so didn't see the figure change at outset initially. So, there's another first. Who are you who who is a bit flamboyant these Jan days to say the least.

Now, there's webring to work on. Thus this blog is closed to the general public with all its preposted blogs. And yes, that means it can still be read by some of the who whos, who like reading it. Perhaps, here one releases a hooked fish powwow because maybe: Fear arises that something shall be missed, something hidden, a new story, a jolt like the Darwin blog ... whatever. Today working all alone on "TEFF'S MERIT BADGES"  I work under a vail. Suspicious as a fox, weary as a badger and undaunted as a small raccoon knocking aside a trash bin. Best continue on and give TEFF a wide berth. And yes, yc --- (or blues) one day you may make it on your own, all by yourselves if your aim is even the least of the looming list concerning writing well. And this remark does not include favorite Lady bloggers who happen to write damn appealing works filled with action past & present.

Now, here's a recent headline shown on msn.com and credited to Associated Press. AP writes without a byline ..

Quote: "BIDEN: US TO APPEAL BLACKWATER CASE DISMISSAL"

"Blackwater security contractors were guarding US diplomats when the guards opened fire in Nissors, a crowed Baghdad intersection on Sept 16, 2007. Seventeen people were killed including women and children in a shooting that inflamed anti- American sentiment in Iraq."

Now as if this twern't totally bad enough ... who were or was the diplomat?

Suppose one lingers a bit over the chosen proper name -- Blackwater. There are blackberry phones? The two are too close but are they related has always been on mind mind as a question re: contracts in Iraq. The latter known as war profiteering which came with hearings, protests and local indictments in several New England states. What is never covered/ reported is still around --- unsolved.

We are deeply in an era of "dumbing down." Sometimes this is spelled "dumming." Take this to construe the term mum. Nada. Little if anything available. And yes, I am so mad at PNR I could spit. That illustrious group is standing aside when it comes to truth akin to the repug channel, foxnews. Reporting news to the wealthier than thou is a bit stale already in Twenty Ten.

Dumming down comes with a heavy emphasis on get aka g-e-t. Yeah, sure you can tell a stray dog to get. A sneak to get lost. But must all writers continue to overuse the word with predicates?

People are not a dumb as the dumbing down cartel might consider. Sure, they buy crap ... a consumer thingy. But not that many are exiting dollar stores coast to coast carrying all these stuffed bags of plastic junk from foreign countries. When belts tighten superficial spending might be the first thing to disappear.

Suppose, the average everyday vocab words drum down, fall beneath the fast edits for online brevity ... still what is the purpose of get overdrive? This is not the accepted slang of a nation, or is it? Now, it has been pointed out by me, one polecat in her own right, that g-e-t may be replacing your ever popular, don't leave home without --- have, has & had. Those most times extras in the first place but delicacies for verbose overwordy, choppy writing. Instead we are to chose proper vocab ... words which stimulate, add flourish. Now with get ... the writers are succumbing to dumbing down and damn it ... this shows.

llllllllllllll Sidebar: lllllllllllllll Well, that is the work we are shown. Sure, there's better some place.
lllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll

So, ala dear ole AP ... whose lifeblood for news reporting the USA must depend on ... we behold ... same article ...

"Prosecutors now face different odds getting an appeals court to reinstate the case."

Holy Christ, old school or new wave the freaking replacement for g-e-t use is .... ??? Hmm? Then one simply translates without shame, via crossword puzzle venue. And yes, there are numerous crossword puzzles questions with get in the equation for the word sought.

So ... Holy Christ the word @ "getting an appeals court" is simply convincing.

And if that is not done the seventeen murdered are murdered either in vain without justice or a riot state exists in Iraq since 2007. So what else does Biden know? Who asks him? Our brave fourth estate has much to be ashamed of since 2000 when proper easy logical questions were as absent as terra firma at the North Pole. Yeah, they knew it. Anyone leaving journalism's credited classes or average newspaper readers knew questions were denied. The fact this came about so often is the puzzlement for our reading, intelligent nation. Oh, that's right we're to be dumbed down all the way to irrelevant. Guess what we still spend a few bucks now & then and few folks without means shall be keeping the cable, the dish, nor spening splendid cash money for newspapers which are a tad tiny, trashy as far as better reporting moves forward in a circled wagon philosophy from all ages. Now, dont tell about the teens flipping their phones via media madness. They're not all in positions these days to pay bills either. Survival is out here money wise.

While its under the magnifying glass, we should still expect the one thing money should buy ... fantastic vocab. Now run off and dumb down something else if you like ... Meanwhile shall you rewrite classic LIT (ooops, sorry that too is still against the law) OR: ask your teachers in local schools to make sure they add get to every sentence they lecture. Then all people are treated to sameness. Say, didnt this already happen behind the Iron Curtain from decades past ... or was it just yesterday?

So convince the courts, Mr Biden. Please.

Yes, I am very tired of a kiddie pool mentality. Fed up by far by too, too easy. Used to be on my other blog, Junebugs, soon to be for sale, or for sale, there a political side appeared duly protesting both gurj bu's cunning invasion and current occupation of Iraq. Since, realization hits on not being alone by any means, nor is anyone able or allowed to control what I write, when and what it states ... these blogs off mine are just that blogs. OH YES!!! It is terrible about last Nov 25's outright massacre in the Filipines. Everywhere one looks one notices a de-sensitized downsizing of audiences. Yup, aint that the truth.

30/all This work belongs to Mary Moffett.

Call me whatever you like, but do think to call me to dinner in our wildest dreams.

 

Closing down anyday ...

Watch, ing-ed- views increase ... hmmm?

Next: "Invalid Post"  

Also this morning sharing what I feel like it, not everything this dame searches like a fox on the prowl ... offsite ... uh to wc only readers ... shake it up ... research .. You are not on Cell Block D. Oooh, the nasty non niceynice side of blogging. Writing? Authorship.

Try this!

From a _________ slang search ... oh ye of little faith ...

"I jammed the roscoe in his button and said close your yab, bo, or I squirt metal."

What mystery genre?

Bye bye.

Oh and then went round and round due to one unfamiliar word ... a typo or not a typo. Impress me, please someone?

Girious?

Review of "Longing Cherry Blossoms"

Review of "Pounding at the door "

Oh, a nasty attack of napping came about after a jaunt to the grocer yesterday afternoon ... for milk, no less. Can't bake cheese pie without dairy.

Then, a bit of the briefest of walks scheme turns into a chill about the slim shoulders of one writer, Mary Moffett.

Enter arthritis, damn, so powerful, abed, sidestepping baking trama, leading toward time well spent ... clocks in as curious driven to nearly finish BLACK & WHITE AND DEAD ALL OVER. First Ratsnoff becomes bumped off, now Edith Sawyer confesses to fast track plagiarism. Oh my oh my ... fiction life at the NY Globe ... closed due to murder number three among author, John Darton's rank & file journalist cartel.

Anytime you wish to read a TEFF REV simply go to PR or PRC ... central added to abbrev ... punch in teffom @ search box mode. Whoosh look at all that in depth free, knowledge worthy, writing advice author to author style that is.

Q: Do TEFF revs rule? Sure they do. PORE over one somtime, hell, treat yourself to an open lot, send gp at your own discretion of course, luvs.

So we deduce not only does a TEFF rev meet, greet & speak address wise to an author ... suppose thass allowed.
Hell, don't see that from rev folks who may brag about their revs and rate revs again & again, be rewarded etc ... eh who reads private revs? .. nobody...

So not much stifled commentary conceded, counter revolution, equanimity for all

AUTHORS!!!

Damn ... p-o-r-e who knew from splashing about wildly. Damnation, whisper knit picker, mudslinger. Kiddin around once more.
