I am worried about our Friar_Tuck, he has stopped posting for
a much longer time than his scheduled vacation home.... I hate it when bloggers like homegirl and wiley disappear and now the padre.....I want my favorites around constantly. Selfish me.... Oh and Temple disappears for long periods and so does jemmie and and and and....

I just finished Tonight I Dreamed of Peace by Dr. Dang Thuy Tram,
a Vietnamese doctor from Hanoi who joined the army to fight off Americans in her homeland....joining up when just graduated. They saw us as a continuation of the French War and just soldiered on..... She was so young and middle class and naive. She reminded me, in her imagery, her dreams and hopes...

Black Swans, Birds of Paradise and Trouble...
Last week I read, audio booked actually, The Garden of Eden by Faye Kellerman, listened to Pimsleur's book on HINDI for the month, read the Burnt House by Faye Kellerman, and perused a real book on Miniature Books, wanting to stop everything and make some myself!!! This week I have been listening to...

I was just now reminded about why I used to write in Word and then post to
blogit. I just wrote a lovely, one of my lovliest posts, I'm sure, for Another Day at Grandma's, and when I hit save and post, it went out into the Big Nada. Bummer. 556 words, it said, sigh.... So, remember what I had forgotten, when Blgoit did this much more often in the old days, write somewhere...

Not writing about others, but rather, writing for others.
My Pakistani daughter at the U of A asked me to help her to apply for a job by aiding her in filling out the job application. I researched the business, researched the best answers and answered two questions on the app for her, which she had to make her own later and I wrote a poem that they wanted....

I started reading Amber_Mendoza's blog post and it went on forever.
And, here's the funny thing, I wanted to follow it for as long as it continued. And it went on for a long time. You know how we are advised to keep each blog post short, well, that's not how Amber works. I was there and concerned or interested in her people and their circumstances and story. Good...

I am hitting Blogit's Home Page more often and searching for new people to
put on my Favorites List, to follow for awhile and see if I like their writing.... They will not necessarily be new to Blogit, just new to me or old ones who somehow fell off my Favorites List in the past....got lost, fell out of my car, were erased from my pages, dunno. I still have...

My friend who watches over special needs foster kids...wants to write a
book. She wants to do a children's book and I have avoided discussing it much with her as she wants me to illustrate it. She has been juggling three book ideas for years.... Now, she has me going over the words with her....what to write and how to put it and I foolishly agreed to work at it with...

I remember a world where the police were the good guys, mostly.
Writing mean scenes into police books and feeling wronged by the police was a rare and surprising thing. Now, no one sees them as the go to person in a bad moment. Writers routinely make them the bad guy, the perp in their detective novel. CNN confirms their choices. Can writing about good cops turn...
