Review work The general writing at Hub Pages is coming along well. My film reviews have expanded to 700 words or more so this is pleasing to my sense of achievement.

The word ‘beggar’ in my mind
Today they have all sorts of words for what was called ‘beggar’. Maybe ‘beggar’ sounds undignified, and homeless more appropriate, but I found the word beggar explained my experience best in my encounter with someone. I just understood. Maybe this is due to my background, in that the word beggar was roughley used all the… Read More The word ‘beggar’ in my mind

The solution is doing one form of writing at a time — until the goals… Read More Film: down on the life list? Really?
Have you seen a good comedy lately?
PRODUCER’S TALK. I haven’t seen or read a good comedy in ages. I don’t think I have guffawed for a while. Truly let out a belly laugh — except in real life.

Untitled story coming along well
An untitled story I have been working on over the New Years is coming along well. As yet, it is officially untitled, but with a tentative title as of writing. This hard laboured at project that has been marinating for twenty years is coming to fruition.
Many, many, many, but did I miss the day?
Manifold, but what day was it for? Birthday? Christmas? That’s the only two days that count Except for Mother’s or Father’s Day. Lots of love and many blessings anyway
