  Merry Christmas and happy holidays. Gary and I are back and we talk about the holiday season and even a little horror in this episode that plunges me back into editing and creativity.  I feel a bit rusty, but I'll get there.  Hope you enjoy. We'll be back soon. God willing for the New Years special.  Please subscribe here: See you next time.  R.I.P. Sadie girl. You will be greatly missed.  WCM

  Recorded a couple new shows Sunday with Gary . I am going to work on them this week and try to get them out. Let me not say try. I WILL get them out.  I'm going to do something new, as I like to attempt with each show. There are aspects that will stay the same, by choice. I feel keeping a certain look and feel (at this time) is necessary. But I recorded our whole conversation to make sure I get anything cool I might miss otherwise.  There were some pretty funny moments in these two episodes. And loads of pieces I try to capture with each show.  One of the most important underlying themes throughout these new shows is to do what is important to you. Don't listen to others. And I'm not just saying that as a cliché. In the old days, writers who had to send their work out via snail-mail didn't have instant gratification of acceptation. They worked in solitude. Most of what they got back, after waiting weeks, was rejection. They sat back down and tried again and ag...

I was checking out Amazon and looking around, you know Black Friday, etc. And I was looking at some author stuff and realized on my author page that my blog posts go there. Ha ha.  I had totally forgot.  I am slowly getting back my creativity. Shut off the news. Drinking tons of coffee. And slowly mapping out a strategy, a trajectory for my writing.  I want to write, but I open a Word document, or this blog, and lose something. The feeling, a thought.  Some may call it writers block, but I don't think so.  I have another post I had made, had the pictures, and abandoned it. I may still do it.  Let's see.  Going to work on the YouTube channel, as well. There has been a lot I've learned during this contemplation.  A lot.  Talk soon.  WCM

  Happy Halloween. Hope it's a safe one.  Just put up the new video Gary and I did. There were some technical issues, but we were able to make it work in the end--and possibly even make it more funny.  Hope you enjoy, and if you did, please like, share and subscribe.  See you next time.  WCM

  I have been sitting on posts, making the mistake of not writing them directly here. I, instead, write them in an email and send them to myself to look over later--yet I overlook them, instead.  So, tonight perhaps, I will try and get some of those ideas on here. One is particularly fun involving coffee leaves. Oh yes, they're back.  That and I have to really try and push out the YouTube videos.  Talk soon.  WCM

I've updated the intro video to the channel. Check it out. And please subscribe while you're there.   Thank you.  WCM 

I used to winder what older writers did before there were blogs, back in the day. And then I found letters they wrote to other writers, or articles posted in publications. I didn't do too much digging into this, because I'd slaked the thirst of that which I was looking for. But what they said made me think. They were just as insecure and worried about the same things--they just worded it differently. More eloquently, if I could say? To see them write about these things made them seem more human, but perhaps it was the method of posting, or the way they made it more of an essay that distinguished the time. But they did it as well. Eh, just thought that was interesting. And I was testing more of the theory I had in the last post. Be genuine. Of course you can say what you feel, but perhaps watch how you say it? I don't know, just some thoughts. Cryptic. Maybe. Like that phrase from Nothing Else Matters by Metallica: "All these words I don't just say." ...
