 |   A terminal for all blogs coming in or going out. A view into my life. |
Started July 1st 2019 for contests, etc. as other blogs are filling up and have other purposes.  I'm starting a new blog because
I'll be linking to
I've started an appendix (I no longer have one personally) to keep track of my Space Cadet journals for Space Blog. It's a work constantly under construction. Mind the mess.
I needed to start a folder for contests as there are so many deadlines and details to remember.

I commented to Lorem Ipsum, Perhaps?  : "When I started [here at WDC] I was just so glad that I found a place to put what I was working on. When people actually began reading my blog... I was hooked. But looking ahead? By 2010, Blogville was Ghosttown as many went to Open Salon or Spacebook and then Tweeter. But Open Salon closed down and Spacebook was never set up for writers, more for Me-me-me and then became Click-Meme and Fakebook. Tweeter became infamous s***-Fling. So who knows about 2030... no way to know. By then I [may] be traveling to Mars or pushing up mutant mushrooms in the Nuclear-Wasteland formerly know as Montana." I post this because ... it seemed to flow! Oh how I can wax poetic when it doesn't matter! I've entered a couple contests. Silly me... in two weeks I'll be in Taiwan. So before I leave, I need to write a "Dear Me" letter for the WDC contest. It will start: "Dearest, You're dead. You'll only be remembered for what connections outlive your flesh... so make them now. Yes, I know you've tried. Make more. Not just awards and acclamations... those are cheap. The real gold is to be found in those postcards you sent from faraway places, the poems you wrote for someone, the hugs you gave when they were needed..." And so on. My familial expiration date is 2034, but recently I've doubted that. My depression can overwhelm and I've neglected my health; and well... time wears away bones and all good intentions. This is my second blog entry for today... Stuck it here because there was no better place to stick it! |
| What books and/or movies are on your list to read/watch this year? What are your “go to” genres? The first part is easy! Nothing. I don't have TV at home. I don't enjoy going to the movies. I'll watch something on the planes when I fly. Maybe catch something on the internet if I remember. Books? Whatever's available when I'm home because I don't take any with me when I travel. The second part: I like light reading. YA is fine (because it's usually well written). I prefer sci-fi, fantasy, mysteries. Anything that takes me somewhere else. I no longer make time for tedious series of 1,000 page tomes. I read slow; I hear what I read. I've read romances and westerns but they aren't my preference. I should read a biography... but not my style. Self-help? Not likely. I do read poetry. Mostly, it could be said that I don't read books for information. I use the internet for that. I read news and blogs and opinion pieces. I also don't read to critique. I'm no literature major trying to dissect a dead novel. I seek connection in the real world not arguments over grammar. I'm more of a linguist, noting what IS, not what someone says it should be. Plus, I create literature. I'm an artist, not a scholar. The list for this prompt is blank. 944 |
