the Wakefield Doctrine

the Wakefield Doctrine (the theory of clarks, scotts and rogers) is a unique and useful view of the human personality. Not your typical chart/axis-based personality scheme, the Doctrine is a way to know what the world looks like to the other person. Finally the behavior of those in our lives, at home and at work and play will make sense. And if that was not enough to get you to go to http://wakefielddoctrine.com ...but it is fun too!

It’s Wednesday evening.

The sky is dark and the wind is warm, the air feels like a bathroom when, having turned on the shower, you return after a quick check of your email turns into twenty minutes online. In no way is it a bad thing.

Each week, on Wednesday evening, Denise opens the door of the Six Sentence Storybloghop…

Welcome to the Wakefield Doctrine (the theory of clarks, scotts and rogers)

Do we outgrow the past or do we simply forget? Do the improvements, growth and developments we achieve (through effort, ambition and circumstance) become like, well, the way it is.

We admit to a fondness for the occasional peculiar word or phrases that, although uncommon in everyday conversation, are fun. Today (in light…

Friday is the day that Kristi and Kenya invite all to make a partial sentence whole again. More than that, they have set up a rotation series of what, effectively are three definitions of ‘sentence’! Lets let them do the honors:

Hi all! This week’s an easy one: Write a 5-minute stream-of-consciousness post about “my…

Getting an early start. It’s Tuesday evening. This part of my process is all about getting rid of the blank page. Not all that likely I’ll write what you will read here on Thursday. But, for me, I need to dive into a pile of words and thoughts and images and hopefully find the combination that will make sense.

Thanks to Kristifor her continuing efforts to untangle the ‘Hydra of html’ that has been loosed upon her by the dark god, Inlinkz.
