THANGSGIVING: BEING THANKFUL
As we reflect on what Thansgiving Day really means, let us remember to be thankful. To God, to our family, and for our country. Let us be thankful for our jobs, our health, for a roof over our heads. Let us be thankful for the opportunities that we have. We should appreciate the good things that has happened to us. We can reflect on things that we lost, but, at the same time, rejoice in the things we have gained. Above all, be thankful for God's bounty and blessings.
HAPPY THANSGIVING DAY!
HAPPY THANSGIVING DAY!

WESTERNS
I have always been a fan of western movies and novels. The open spaces, scenic mountains , and adventure of the unknown intrigues me to this day. Perhaps, there are fans of this genre out there. I surfed the internet and was surprised by the number of women and men who write western stories. Ther are a number of websites on www.google.com which can get you started.

MUCH WRITING OF LATE
| I have been writing a lot lately. Prose, poetry, fiction, non fiction, and commentary. It is one of those periods where i have much to say. Do you ever have times like that? It is fun and productive. I am studying advanced writing in college. Writing reviews and critiques about films is another area that is new to me. I have taken a second look at my movie watching because I am not much of a movie or tv person. Part of the reason is a lot of movies and plays are garbage. I will be attending a play in a couple of weeks and so I will have the chance to critique my first play. I love plays and desire to attend more, but they can be rather expensive. If I can find some plays or movies to recommend, I will tell you shortly. My favorite writing is short stories and essays. I have tried my hand at poetry, prose, plays, and horror stories. One goal I have is to write a full length screenplay. |
