Peristalsis in Excelsis Deo. Amen.

Going through a box from my storage unit, I found notes in a variety of notebooks. I tore out the relevant pages—so few in each book—and am donating the books to Goodwill so someone will get more use out of them than I ever did or will. See, I would purchase them thinking I’d getContinue reading “Peristalsis in Excelsis Deo. Amen.”

A Plethora of Miscellaneous

If there was a biography about you, what would the title be? I wrote that title a few weeks ago and saved it in Notes, because I knew it would come in handy eventually. When seeing today’s prompt I thought it was strictly apropos (which would be a bad title for my biography). Looking backContinue reading “A Plethora of Miscellaneous”

Working: Title?

What have you been working on? In my travelogue of the UK trip I mentioned how both Joyce and I wound up with a (non-contagious, thank goodness!) intestinal flu, and then returned home with colds. I still have only a lingering cough, but Joyce has had conjunctivitis twice and is relapsing back into a cold,Continue reading “Working: Title?”

Time Well Spent

What is your favorite hobby or pastime? Hobbies change over the years. I’ve often been inspired by something and then pursued it for awhile before moving on to something else. I don’t think that indicates a lack of attention span or sticktoitiveness, but rather an endless curiosity. Of course, on the downside, it does remindContinue reading “Time Well Spent”

Small Change

What would you change about modern society? The title of my post today was also the title of my first novel. Or should I say “novel”? It was basically an autobiographical accounting of the last days of my time in high school and a little while after in to the post-graduation era where I foundContinue reading “Small Change”

Go, Go, Goethe!

Who is your favorite historical figure? Frequent readers of my blog will know exactly who my favorite historical figure is. And others will probably know, too, since I gave it away in my title. Johann Wolfgang von Goethe is best known for writing Faust (Parts One and Two), but there was so much more toContinue reading “Go, Go, Goethe!”

Creative

What is one word that describes you? When I looked at the prompt for today, the first word that came to my mind, was “creative.” My mind is constantly rolling with new ideas, at least new to me. (We have been told that there is “nothing new under the sun.“) But my mind really neverContinue reading “Creative”

Watchers of the Dawn

A few years back, I had an idea for a novel. Using two NaNoWriMos (National Novel-Writing Months) and some meeting with students about some of my ideas, I fleshed out the narrative. I had originally hoped to create a graphic novel, but writing the actual novel made more sense at the time. I had thenContinue reading “Watchers of the Dawn”
