THOUGHT CONTROL? FIRST FIND A BRAIN

September 1, 2021 by David Gillaspie

Thought control is an accusation slung by those who need you to agree with them. Based on their outlook and attitude, if you don’t agree it’s because you’ve been brainwashed. Like that’s a bad thing all the time. If you join the Army you get a good wash, learn to help others, at the same […]

CONSISTENCY HABIT? WHAT YOU DO IS WHO YOU ARE

August 21, 2021 by David Gillaspie

If a consistency habit sounds like one step away from living in a rut, then you’re doing it wrong. A rut, or living in a rut, is the hole you’ve been digging. When life said ‘Dig in’ you started and never stopped, never asked why. That’s a rut you’ve been plowing, my friends, and I’m […]

FEELING BAD? THINK OF OTHERS WHILE YOU SUFFER

August 11, 2021 by David Gillaspie

Feeling bad, as if it’s not enough, comes with extras, like those trying to help you feel better. Think of them while you’re in the throes of misery. Whether you know it or not, your suffering is their suffering. They feel better when you feel better. This came up at a recent gathering of some […]

PORTLAND TREND OR OREGON’S FUTURE ON A NEW TRAIL

June 24, 2021 by David Gillaspie

While I usually drag on about other things, I sense a Portland trend here: @Oregonian Portland’s police chief and mayor are set to announce Tuesday that city police will no longer stop motorists for low-level infractions, such as equipment failures or expired plates, to reduce disproportionate stops of people of color. Fewer tickets for minor […]

FATHER’S DAY FROM OLD DAD TO NEW DAD ALL TOGETHER

June 18, 2021 by David Gillaspie

Father’s Day comes every year, but that first one is something else. A new dad on his day lays the groundwork of tradition for every Father’s Day for the next fifty years. Will it be like a birthday? Christmas? Or eventually just another day on the calendar? The easy answer: It depends on the kids. […]

BLAZER SEASON WRAP FOR DAME TIME

June 4, 2021 by David Gillaspie

Another Blazer season, another year, and another view of Damian Lillard. The best teammate award and a first round exit. Who doesn’t get caught up in the whirlwind of the NBA Playoffs without noticing Lillard? I’m not asking who thinks they know what he should do next. It’s been another year, a primetime season, but […]

How the writing conference update started: Hi David, Chuck Sambuchino here (formerly a long-time editor with Writer’s Digest and the GLA). The GLA is the Guide To Literary Agents, a book I’ve bought. I follow Chuck on Twitter. He sent me a message, which is different than a notification. This is Chuck Sambuchino:

CHANGING FOCUS WHEN YOU GET WHAT YOU WANTED

April 24, 2021 by David Gillaspie

The idea of changing focus comes up when you don’t want what you asked for. All bloggers want more traffic, to reach more markets, to find new readers who stick around. I did. I still do, but with a changing focus. I’m not so crazy about this particular dream come true. But the results? I’m […]

RUNNING MAN SETS RECORD STRAIGHT AT ROW RIVER

April 15, 2021 by David Gillaspie

The running man in question is Nicholas Thompson. Maybe you’ve heard of him, or someone like him. Probably not, though. He’s just another runner in a running world full of speed. Oh, he just set the American record for a 50K ultra. Now you’ve heard of him. But there’s so much more, which fits in […]
