http://writingwright.blogspot.com/2009/01/america-reclaims-its-true-story.html

Thursday, January 22, 2009. America reclaims its true story. Confessions of a Small Church Pastor. Says that Tuesday saw more than the inauguration of a new president.

Writing Wright: A journalist writing a novel

http://writingwright.blogspot.com/2009/06/journalist-writing-novel.html

Monday, June 8, 2009. A journalist writing a novel. What's the biggest different between writing journalism and writing fiction? Since the publication of Kill the Quarterback. I have been asked that question more than once. For an old line journalist like me (when I started in the business, they still used typewriters and pastepots), writing a novel had one big advantage:. That's what make journalism hard work. That's what gives it value. To make things up. As a journalist, if you are good enough, you do...

http://writingwright.blogspot.com/2009/03/leonardo-and-fleeting-quality-of.html

Saturday, March 28, 2009. Leonardo and the 'fleeting quality of imagination'. That's what we're taught anyway. Putting things off, not getting things done - those things mark you as a slacker, a nere-do-well, a skylarker (military), a goldbrick (also military), a bum. And around the part of the country where I live, you're just plain "sorry.". W L Pannapacker,. According to the E-prof, the patron saint of us academic procrastinators is none other than Leonard da Vinci. Labels: Leonardo da Vinci. I agree&...

http://writingwright.blogspot.com/2009/02/25-random-things-about-me.html

Saturday, February 7, 2009. 25 random things about me. Now that the 25-random-things rage on. Is about spent, it's about time I got in on it. Here's what I just posted. 1 I keep bees. That usually starts a conversation. Kids make me look like a wizard and a genius every day. I am in awe of them. I wouldn't dare tell them that, however. 3 I love choral music. I'm also a big fan of baroque, bluegrass and fusion jazz. 4 If I am still in bed at 5 am, that means I have overslept. At his home in Montreat, N&#4...

Staying Booked: April 2008

http://stayingbooked.blogspot.com/2008_04_01_archive.html
