Thought I’d pay a visit to your blog and see what I could learn to apply to mine…(since I’m about to write a new post) and I was rewarded with also learning your take on the “meaning” of Mr. Coleman. I enjoyed the book, and felt like I got what you were trying to convey. And I enjoy reading your writing, whatever it is you write about. As a non-writer (I’m a visual thinker) I find the process difficult and admire people who can do it (seemingly) effortlessly and beautifully.
I’ll check back again…

Dude, just thought I’d let you know: It’s T.H. White, the author of The Once and Future King–not E.B. White, the author of “Charlotte’s Web.” I like that quote a lot.

I think we had the same English teacher. And nice to know I’m not the only one noticing that cell phones are turning our highways into “Death Race 2009.”

Comment on NEW REALITY: CONTENT IS KING – PART 1 by Virginia

Hi Scot! Nice post!
I have two comments:
1) “craps shoot” I knew you were a real writer right then.
2) Just a sort of extension off of “content”–I’m thinking a lot these days about stories. And how much humans love them (when you add up how much is spent on stories–in movies, TV, books, magazines, etc. it’s ginormous). See, I just glanced up and saw the category “Steve McQueen” and I thought, I’m going there next. There’s a story behind that!

Regarding cell phones being used in vehicles. Down here in San Diego, we have several colleges in close proximity of our little burb. These young adults in their cars are full of electronic distractions, including the cell phone. But they are not only on their cells without headsets but their mind isn’t there behind the wheel. It is apparent in the way they are driving – often slower than the flow of traffic, often swerving in and out of their lane. The other sinister thing they are often doing with that illuminated electronic gadget is text messaging while driving. My husband and I one misty evening were driving towards the freeway and at the first stop light, we both silently observed the gal in the car to our left texting away on her cell phone. The stretch of road before the next traffic light declines a bit, with active decision making of heading to the freeway on ramps. Us in our large truck (or often called the pup mobile) kept a safe distance to what we half expected to happen. The text messaging guru was going a decent click to the next light and was not slowing down. Yup, sure enough, she rear-ended the big Explorer in front of her. Hmmm, some lessons do have to come the hard way. She had considerable damage to her car. She appeared to be physically okay but maybe she got her wake up call about phone usage while driving?

Regarding Halloween. It use to be great fun to see the neighborhood kids in their costumes at your door. Now days, we are often turning off the porch light early – trying to avoid the bus loads of kids and teenagers from outside the area envading our basically quiet neighborhood. It is the new kind of scare that comes with it, nowhere near the fictional fear in Ray Bradbuty’s “Something Wicked This Way Comes” that a particular English teacher had us read back in high school.

Very well explained! Thank you for opening that world of swimming up for me to find! I have since gone back to water and it is my morning meditation and true Zen when I am not orchestrating border collies and sheep.

I had the same experience in Scotland. If I ever get lost in the world, look in Edinburgh first.

I know I’m probably not half the writer you are, but I know exactly what you mean! I have endless journals with half-baked ideas and half-written short stories.

I really need to just sit down and write!

Just finally got around to reading one of your newsletters, and some of your blog. I like it!!! Especially the piece about writing, just go out and write…I guess I better stop talking about that book I plan to write.
