I was watching Criminal Minds a few hours ago. I get that serial killers are very smart of killing their victims, and why they do it. Criminals have different reasons why they want to kill innocent people. A movie will be shown in TV called The people v. O.J. Simpson. I will see the movie.
I have walked today with my dad. It was beautiful walking outside. I only got to see my neighbor’s dog. I petted her. I didn’t see any squirrels right now.
I am waiting desperately for the writing online classes to start. But, am very patient.
Well, I don’t want to type much. So, I will be writing-off, and signing-off! Till the next post adventure, my friends! Be safe and behave! ❤ 🙂
The Honor Challenge
You are special! 🙂
What if we reached out and honored people regularly.
Treating people with Importance, Respect, and Kindness should not be reserved for “Special” days…
What if every day we treated people like it was their birthday.
Called them up, sent a nice message, acknowledged them, took them to coffee or lunch, gave a smile and/or a compliment…
How would it be if our words and actions reflected that we cared about whether or not they felt important and valued!
Challenge: Pick a person, and for an entire week really treat them special, as if it was genuinely their birthday. Do this full-heartedly, but don’t mention the challenge to them or others. The Honor Challenge
Note: This is not necessarily about material gifts but a frame of mind, words, and actions (outreach.)
I wonder how relationships and/or self-esteem will be affected…
Please spread this challenge and Share your experiences here with me! The Honor Challenge
Movie Review: Straight Outta Compton
I have seen the movie Straight Outta Compton. It should be nominated for the Oscars, including for Best Picture. Straight Outta Compton is about a rap group N.W.A that has been violated from the authority, its manager, press, and media. It shows of various rap talents of the rap group N.W.A that were firstly rising in the 80’s and early 90’s. The group gets into problems like drugs, sex, violence, and alcohol. The manager has taken advantage of the N.W.A’s money earnings. At the end of the film Eazy-E dies of AIDS. The group before, disbands and form several rap artists to solo various rap careers. The group N.W.A no longer exist because of the death of the rapper Eazy-E from the AIDS/HIV Virus. This movie got snuffed out of this year’s Oscars. I think if they do nominate it.It will probably win the Best Picture Award. I give this picture a thumbs up, because of its fine cinematography and excellent storytelling. I give a rating of 8 1/2 out of a ten. A very well made film about the young talented kids of rap and the Hip-Hop nation. I recommend this movie to young adults and old adults alike.

Right now I am reading The God Particle by Leon Lederman. It is fascinating. Breathtaking reading about the atoms. Quantum theory is so complex and shocking. It is a mess of space all around. I love astronomy, though.
I am thinking in seeing the six part drama series War & Peace. If it is boring for me I will stop watching it. It is about the French war, as well of Napoleon Bonaparte’s life.
I go to a complete blank when I start thinking and sometimes I don’t have any idea to think. Most of the time the muse finds me, instead of me finding it. It is different for many writers and authors.
It is so cold here in Miami. I didn’t get the chance to walk today. I don’t think that it will be much cold tomorrow morning. It isn’t cold at all, but rather warm outside.
I saw a few episodes of Criminal Minds. the episodes are interesting. After that I saw another episode of The White Queen. I never got to finish the second episode. I think some of the events taken place from the Royals of Queen Elizabeth are basically not true.
Well, I am writing-off, and signing-off! Till the next post adventure, my friends! Be safe! ❤ 🙂
Happy Martin Luther King Day!
Have a happy Martin Luther King Day everyone! Be safe! ❤ 🙂
Famous Singer’s Quotes #5
“I don’t know where I’m going from here, but I promise it won’t be boring.”
–David Bowie (Singer)
Hope Will Find Your Chances of Life
There are some people that feel hopeless for their lives. I believe that there are hopes and chances for all people. It is never too late to start a brand new life again. You are given many chances of hope, until you get it right this time. One thing you need to stop doing is becoming depressed. Depression lessens your chances, and does not help matters. Being happy helps you live another brand new life. Think of the stuff that you already have, then moping around for things you don’t have. Embrace the stuff already given to you, and then the things in life you will have for the first time again. No one needs to live alone, because God grants us many second chances of your life. Hope for the best, and you will get your second chance.

“Toto, I’ve a feeling that we’re not in Kansas anymore.”

Three paradoxes of writing life
Yesterday I spoke at the New Generation Publishing selfpub summit, and the discussions threw up some interesting paradoxes that writers encounter.
1 We must produce, but never rush.
Unless we’re writing only for the satisfaction of filling a document, we need an output mentality. We set schedules, aim to present work to critiquers, editors and readers, build a rack of titles for more market share and £££. But we must also learn our natural pace to give a book the proper time.
Last week Maya Goode took my post about the slow-burn writer and added some thoughts of her own, resolving to be swift with her blogging output, and leisurely about her fiction. (To an extent, this post will include a hopscotch through my archives. If you’ve recently arrived on this blog and these ideas strike a chord, these links are a junction box for further exploring.)
Certainly, some books…
