 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.  My new new new blog is
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.

| It's 9:09 and 68 degrees. It will heat up by noon. I'm worried about the heat. They are still talking about temps of 105 this week. The all time record high is 107. My nerves can't take this. My place barely cools down at night. 3rd floor, no a/c, poor air circulation. I'm not ready to just hop on a plane. I should be. One week away might help. I've looked into Albania, Greece, Mexico. There are few reasonable options. Fairbanks Alaska is $500+. My nerves are shattering for other reasons as well. I need to write a fiction drawing on all this angst and releasing it. I have the opening line. "I always knew that the answer was suicide. It was just a matter of when it would be convenient." Decided to submit it to Cubby's contest. However, there is much to be done today and tackling some of those issues might help. My mouth is very dry and my pee was darker yesterday so I'll be drinking more liquids than usual. Dehydration kills. A pretty new ribbon for 2nd place:
Finished and posted:
"Windows I have yet to look through [168] JI#8"  means I'm finished with "Journalistic Intentions" .Response to Czechia 2:0 Netherlands. Bob Moss: The future is bright, it just isn't orange. Posted at newsfeed regarding rules: "This is very important when doing WdC contests. I reread rules and still make mistakes. That said: Owners of contests can make rules simple, clear and concise. No one is entering if there are 50 rules (hyperbole but some contests really need to trim their sails). Rules that are important should be together and stand out due to color, font, size, bold. They should also be near the top. I read top down and I dare say most people here do as well. If something is absolutely verboten then that should be stated clearly. If someone has broken a rule (most are unintentional) then kindly pointing it out is better than blame-and-shame. Deletion without an explanation is poor form. There are unmentioned rules in writing. 1. friends publish friends. 2. you wll be shunned by someone without any explanation. 3. "poetry", "story", yada yada have different definitions and at times neither the contest owner nor other writers agree what they are. "I'm looking for cutting-edge ____." Means Nothing! 4. everyone 'assumes'... making you-know-what out of you-know-who. So I read rules. I try hard to follow them. My anxiety rages however when those rules are not clear. Someone who has never run a contest or entered one has a lot to learn and listening to the suggestions of oldies and newbies is part of that." It's 89 degrees at 7:36. Forecast now has 100 degrees this week instead of 105. 4660 |
