BLOG PLATFORM, WRITER PLATFORM, LAUNCHES MEMOIR

We’ve got a joke, or more accurately my blog efforts get ridiculed, around the keyboard. Goes like this: “Why do you always write about yourself, or put yourself into every post?” I answer by spelling memoir, as in memoir blogger. “M-e … m-o-i-r. You can’t spell memoir without M and E.” Hilarity is supposed to […]

TONY ROMO WRITNG COACH

Tony Romo is getting great press as an NFL color commentator. His MVP showing in the AFC title game earned him the sort of career extension anyone would hope for. And he’s a second year guy in the booth. What if Tony Romo was a writing coach, as good a writing coach as […]

FAKE NEWS SHARED BY BABY BOOMERS, BUT WHY?

For online fans of social media there’s a drumbeat across many platforms saying the same thing: Baby boomers share more fake news than any other demographic. The usual cutoff age is sixty five, so I’ve got another year before I hit that wall. If you are a boomer I’ve got a question: Do […]

SOCIAL MEDIA SUPER STAR IN THE WINGS

News reports about social media and the ‘new awareness’ we all need to observe will never keep grandma from posting new baby pictures. ButI think I get the point of the warning. From my census training I learned how to gather visual evidence at the door if a citizen didn’t want to interact […]

Portland Bird Flip To The Rest Of You

The Portland bird is one thing, the Portland bird flip a whole ‘nother thing. If it’s not this, it’s that for Portland. Close to the mountains, close to the beach, and if the pace of new building is any indicator, close to the new neighbors. Like any city over a certain […]

MEMOIR BLOGGER TALKS TO WRITER, GETS LOST

What’s the difference between successful books and the others? Books that get read and those that just get bought? Empathy. Do you feel it? Does the writer make you feel it? Empathy and suspense, enough suspense to turn the page. I met a writer, which is who I’d expect meet in a writers […]

SHARED STANDARDS LIFT AMERICAN GREATNESS BAR

In order to compete with Pew Research Center’s ‘fact tank’, nonpartisan, non-advocacy approach to public opinion, I ask strangers questions. In a nonpartisan, non-advocacy approach I asked a fellow citizen in the sauna, an FCIS, if I could ask a few questions about shared standards. The old ‘question about asking questions’ technique.
