IN XANADU: March 2014
http://jacks-perspective.blogspot.com/2014_03_01_archive.html
Saturday, March 15, 2014. With the encouragement of my wife, I've decided to attempt to write a story (I'm far more comfortable with writing plays.) So, for your consideration, here is a small section. The character "speaking" was born in India in 1930, so the time now would be about 1946. Sometime in the sixteenth year of my life my father came to me with the following offer. “Son, I think it’s time to buy you a new suit.”. 8220;Would you like to know why? 8220;It’s for your wedding day.”. Well, almost ...

Through caverns measureless to man. Down to a sunless sea. So twice five miles of fertile ground. With walls and towers were girdled round:. And there were gardens bright with sinuous rills,.

IN XANADU: November 2013
http://jacks-perspective.blogspot.com/2013_11_01_archive.html
Sunday, November 24, 2013. Sorry we haven't chatted in awhile. Writing has picked up considerably. So has exposure, apparently. I entered a short play in a local contest. It won a presentation, which was a week or so ago. I attended, and I must tell you, it's always a grand feeling when you see people saying your words, expressing your thoughts . I entered TWO one-act plays in a contest in Atlanta, Georgia. This was months ago, and I have been told that both. I'm having a good year so far.). As always, t...

IN XANADU: Chat
http://jacks-perspective.blogspot.com/2013/08/chat.html
Friday, August 23, 2013. Today is Friday, August 23rd, 2013 at exactly 9:01 PM, according to the little measurer of time that's built into my computer. I don't know why I feel that it's important to have said that, except that when I post these things sometimes it says it's 2:47 in the morning and it really isn't. I co-directed a play a couple of years ago, and I should have known better this time. It's like two men in a canoe trying furiously to paddle in different directions at the same time.). I am ac...

IN XANADU: Shameless Plug time ...
http://jacks-perspective.blogspot.com/2014/01/shameless-plug-time.html
Tuesday, January 28, 2014. Shameless Plug time . I know, I know. It's been awhile. Again. It started when I became a major winner in a playwriting contest in Indiana. At the same time my agent dropped off the face of the earth. The two events together started me in a new direction. Since my wife is a published novelist on Amazon, I got the idea of doing the same thing - publishing plays. On Amazon. Sixteen. Of 'em, all re-written in Amazon-speak. Took months. Posted by Jack Petersen. Down to a sunless sea.

IN XANADU: The Civil War In Syria, And Our Involvement In It.
http://jacks-perspective.blogspot.com/2013/09/the-civil-war-in-syria-and-our.html
Wednesday, September 4, 2013. The Civil War In Syria, And Our Involvement In It. I posted this on Facebook and got such a response that I thought I would re-post it here. I have been reading with great interest about our growing itch to involve ourselves in the Syrian civil war. We are presently approaching the point where Congress and the Senate will approve the President’s request to punish the President of Syria for (supposedly) gassing his own people. This brings three questions to my mind. On my own...

IN XANADU: A (somewhat) New Path
http://jacks-perspective.blogspot.com/2013/09/a-somewhat-new-path.html
Tuesday, September 3, 2013. A (somewhat) New Path. I took back my life a few days ago. As a writer, I've enjoyed my share of success. Certainly I've seen a number of my plays produced. But there was always a quality. Of course. Eventually. In the meantime I'm looking, and finding the present situation not entirely unpleasant. Just this week I got back from visiting my new doctor . (I've outlived my previous THREE. What does that. And how was YOUR day? Posted by Jack Petersen. September 10, 2013 at 8:50 PM.
