  • I *heart* my mom.

    Just checking my email. My mom reads my blog. She caught the recent post that I wrote in response to POV. In a message, mi madre wrote–and I’m not kidding…

    You know, I wonder, seriously, if all that time/energy would not benefit you more …if you were putting it into…say…writing a chapter for your Book.

    LOL.

    So, so true. I have other projects that I need to take care of!

    🙂

    Yet writing–whether online or offline–is cathartic for me. It’s hope. It’s healing.

    I have a burning need to express myself. It’s almost a sort of madness.

    Dear Mom (And Others),

    Don’t worry. I do write other things. Why, just last night I wrote some heartfelt lyrics. I only pray that God gives me the chords to go with ’em. 😉

  • The Writers’ Strike

    I still don’t have a TV. Yet I wondered what was at the heart of the latest strike in Hollyweird. This video gets down to the brass tacks in less than five minutes.

    For what it’s worth, I think the writers are being incredibly reasonable. They want 8 cents for every dollar that’s made off their work. It if was me, I’d be looking for at least a quarter.
