Advice for New Writers That They Will Never Take
I have been writing paid reviews and doing book blurbs for a while now. Most books I review are ok to good. A few are even great. But this morning I got the book I have been fearing since I started doing reviews. It is poorly written. There are multiple grammatical errors. The formatting is wrong. The use of ellipsis is out of control. The author is nebulous, nameless, and claims to write for an…

Small Uglies
I decided a while ago that on that day, I was going to try to focus on calmness and peace. I didn’t read the news or turn on the TV. I graded some student papers, did some of my own personal writing, and then my partner and I decided to go out and look for end tables we’ve been wanting to buy. While out, we stopped for lunch and had a glass of wine. Just before we went home, we decided to stop…

One More Eclipse Story
I have been studying for forty years how humans are influenced by events in the sky. I knew I wanted to experience the April 8, 2024, eclipse at totality, after all, it would be in the neighborhood. A good friend of mine told me it was like a religious experience. I heard from eclipse chasers it would be worth all the hype. Months ago, I cleared my calendar and bought my eclipse glasses when they…

Writing in Script
I was talking to my dissertation advisor recently about some sources I was planning to use in my research when he said, “If you read script…” and then gave me the archive at which housed original letters and journals from the subject of my study. “I read script,” I said simply. I didn’t tell him, not only do I read it, but I also write it and have been able to do so since I was eight. I remember…

A Dress with a Story
I have taken up a new hobby in retirement all because of my daughter’s upcoming nuptials. She decided she wanted to wear a vintage dress, something from the 1940ies. She found her dream dress on eBay, and I bid on it. Without warning, I received a notice from the seller that the dress was no longer available. I sent the seller a note saying I was very interested in the dress. The seller’s…
