Writing Reality There is a new reality show on the horizon. It’s like a bake off, but instead, it’s a write-off. Really? Who wants to watch writers write? At least with a baking show the bakers are baking, the clock is running out, and then the soufflé rises or falls.  This concept differs. The…

Outrage will start the ball rolling, but these days, there is something new to spark outrage on an hourly basis. Here are a few examples of successful boycotts; The…

The News These Days This past week on Bluesky someone posted what seemed like a genuine newspaper photo of Donald Trump and his mother taken, circa 1980's. The caption quoted Mary Trump as saying "I hope he never gets into politics. It would be a disaster." I thought it was funny and I shared it…
