It's Monday!
Finally
Good morning!
It’s time for a quick update on what went on over the weekend.
I didn’t write anything Saturday, but I did write a couple Sunday, and I will include friend links so you can read them for free. I’m shooting for an update on Mondays and Fridays.
And if you ever find yourself wanting to read something on a Tuesday or a Sunday, you know you have access to the website where they live. Also, please feel free to share any of them with your friends if you desire.
What do I believe in?
As I write this it is quite early on Monday morning, and I have already been asked that difficult question. Difficult for me to answer, obviously, not difficult for the one who blurted out the question.
They said that even though the subscription is free, it would still be worth the cost more if I had any identity- any fingerprints on it, so they could rest more comfortably knowing I am not a horse thief or ax murderer.
How do I put into a small handful of words that which cries out to be written in many leather-bound volumes? Only an experienced, big-time writer could pull this off.
Detail Guy.
I am, at a personal level, conservative and logical, but this column is not about politics, the third rail of journalism. I believe in common sense. I’m a detail guy and yet a big-picture type. I am a rule-obeyer. I usually figure stuff out rather than asking someone. Problem solver, work-around discoverer when things don’t function properly.
I have been a real estate broker for decades, where I started writing more and more, and I still do both daily.
Humor.
I find humor in most things, even in situations that may not cause others to smile. I call myself a writer and a humorist, although some people I know pronounce and spell it a bit differently.
I could just tell you about something, and on some unconscious level, it would just come out odd. Sometimes funny. Off-putting to many.
I am involved with a medical foe that causes me to walk differently than you, probably, but I still feel blessed that my situation is so much nicer than it could be. When I checked into retiring and becoming a greeter at Walmart, they suggested I try writing for some extra money.
My high school English teachers never thought I would amount to much. I showed them. They must have taught me some vocabulary though because my Grammarly icon keeps giving me confused looks and eye-rolls when I finish a sentence.
The Great American Short Story.
I do write a lot. My stories are generally short and meaningless, so they are easily and quickly consumed. I am paid on views and reads, and it’s easier to get 100 people to read a two-minute article than to get one person to read a twelve-minute article.
Of my two dozen books, most of them are more technical and business oriented.
Which brings us back here. The two darlin’s I penned this weekend.
