I’ve been doing  a lot of editing for clients recently,  but very little writing from scratch and no extreme makeovers, so I’m getting a little bored. The editing has been minor, so it doesn’t stretch me much. I’m looking forward to finding something I can really sink my teeth into… I’ve finished editing the second…

Genetic Memory defined (source: wikipedia): ” In psychology, genetic memory is a memory present at birth that exists in the absence of sensory experience, and is incorporated into the genome over long spans of time. It is based on the idea that common experiences of a species become incorporated into its genetic code, not by a Lamarckian process that encodes specific memories but by a much…

https://www.facebook.com/dwayne.takeda/videos/10159541377133647/ This DeForest Kelley question happened on JEOPARDY! yesterday. What a heartbreaker!   Obviously I’m not selling enough DeForest Kelley books!!   It makes me sooooo sad, to see  knowledgeable people missing a question like this.   Who do you know who hasn’t discovered DeForest Kelley yet?   Do they read memoirs?   If so,…

self-promotion

I’m lousy at self-promotion, which is weird because as a copywriter my job is to promote clients.   I spend so much time promoting other people’s products or services that I forget to promote my own!   That’s nuts!   I’m like the auto mechanic who’s car doesn’t run. I know how to fix it,…

Changing banks is a nerve-wracking pain-in-the-arse process.   In my case, it isn’t just a matter of closing accounts at one bank (Heritage), getting a cashier’s check, driving it over, and opening new accounts at the credit union (BECU).   It’s a matter of informing numerous auto-deposit and auto-withdrawal entities of the switch and giving…

Bernie Sanders has entered the race to become the next President of the United States.   HALLELUJAH!!!   My world has turned around. I no longer feel depressed. I am fired up and ready to go!   I no longer feel the despair I’ve felt since he bowed out last time.  Although I voted for…

I am  SO SICK of the HATE that is being openly-spewed, supported, and even celebrated these days.   https://www.lgbtqnation.com/2019/02/game-jesus-trump-hitler-kill-lgbtq-people-now-available-online/?utm_source=LGBTQ+Nation+Subscribers&utm_campaign=c40d051d75-20190217_LGBTQ_Weekly_Newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_c4eab596bd-c40d051d75-430573761   How can something this VILE even be conceived, let alone coded and created?   Called “Jesus Strikes Back” (a blasphemy of epic proportions, if ever there was one), game manufacturers have listed this as a…
