Dropping in After a LONG Time Away

To be fair, I've been working on my book (started NaNoWriMo, but bailed after 1-1/2 weeks), getting in the sub teacher hours to make a qualifying Social Security year, clearing up the house and getting rid of paper, yadda yadda...

I've mostly blogged on Liberty's Torch and The Declination. That, and just life, has kept me away. I'm even down on reading other blogs - it would seem I'm winnowing down to the absolutely essential stuff, for now.

Part of it is that, finally, after a long time worrying about the state of the country, I'm a little calmer. The Donald is NOT perfect - not by a long shot - but, for the first time in a long time, I think we've got someone in the Oval Office that has the country's best interests at heart.

But, the book - about 1/2 way through it, and I'm blazing away at a pace that will have me finishing before March (cross your fingers - every time I make those kind of plans, something ghastly happens). So, in my rare downtime, I've been lurking around Mad Genius Club and According to Hoyt, among others. Even when goofing off, I'm attempting to learn more about the business of writing.

And, in the process I found this - on Writing on the Go. That's something I actually know quite a lot about, as my peripatetic ways have taught me.

I live out of two totes - one for personal essentials - driver's license, money, debit cards, planner (yes, I'm old school about that), cosmetics, brush, etc.

The other is packed with essentials:

• Macbook - the 11" model - very compact and slim, and, most important - lightweight
• Notebook - composition style, quad ruled
• Index cards, held together with a binder clip
• Extra binder clips - handy for all kinds of things
• Ipad - the laptop is for writing (Scrivener). The Ipad is for web browsing, notes (OneNote), and email.
• Handheld voice recorder - handy in the car or when I'm on the move.
• Pencil Case - # 9 mechanical pencils, various pens and highlighters in multiple colors, extra # 9 lead.
• Sticky notes
• Gallon-sized ziplock (freezer weight) - used to corral various cords, plugs, USBs, and tech gadgetry

What do you haul around?

Okay, my wordpress got frozen

So, let's see what we can do from here. I need to know who checks in here. If all else fails, let's see who I can count on from google or wherever to check to see if anyone has searched to see if I still exist online. This gets any hits, screw that other site. I'll be here for you.

If all else fails, I'll just transfer my stuff to this site and wordpress be damned.

Donald Trump: From Death, Destruction & Terrorism To Peace, Prosperity ...

This is awesome, THIS is MY President!!!!!!!!!!!!

This WAS a good idea

I must admit, I'm as guilty as any. I rarely posted here, I should have for sure, and it just died of neglect.

Mea culpa. I was one of the first, therefore I am even more guilty than the latter.

Perhaps it can be saved even yet, but that remains to be seen.

Great headlines.

This Gives Me Chills

...and, not in a good way.

So, I'm checking the site here

As I bloody well should have been doing a lot more than I have. I'm supposing "brainfart" is my best explanation.

This site was put up, and I was invited to be a member. I put up the odd thing, and linked a few more to my other site.

And immediately proceeded to just not bother as frequently as I should have. Hell, links aren't hard to post. I should have done at least that. Look at the date of the last post. Sep 30. Apparently I'm not the only one.

Are our reader numbers so bad that it's pointless to bother? Or are our reader numbers so bad because we HAVEN'T bothered?

How many writers do we have? Get off your ass and write. Remind people on your primary site that this exists. This was going to be a fun contribution, and MyBad, I'm just as guilty as the rest.

Seems as though we never got many reads, but the link is up right at the top of the page on my main site. WTF?

PLEASE Share ASAP!

Failure to do so may cost us all money.

Why Do I Keep Thinking of This Scene?

OH Congresswoman Accuses Trump of Inciting Terrorism

In the House hearing to investigate the cash transfer of funds to Iran, an Ohio Congresswoman - Joyce Beatty (D) accused Donald Trump of inciting terrorism.

LOVE to see if this makes the news.

Right now, Congressman Keith Ellison (D. MI) is carping about some Republicans meeting on Inauguration Day to "Vow to make President Obama a 1-term president".  He's calling the hearing a "theatrical performance".  The people testifying are carefully shading their answers to avoid answering the Republicans' questions, and - I could be wrong about this - the Democrats appear to be reading from talking points from the Administration.

Rep, French Hill (R. AK) is stating that they are there to try to gain some clarity about the transaction, which he says was inadequately explained by the Administration.

Boy, the people on the hot seat are scrambling to avoid naming those responsible.  Can't say who authorized - who signature was on the agreement. 

Hill looks good - polite, but pointed in his questions.

The ranking member of the subcommittee, Al Green (D - TX), is - again - focusing on the "plan" to GET Obama.

The poor man!  On the crucifix, and STILL suffering.

Must Stop Reading the News

It tends to make my blood boil.
