Classic cool...

I was thinking about them today.

Isn't it cool how an image or a thought pops up -- reminding you of something simple, yet profound?

Just thinking about how good things last... movies, stories, legacies, traditions, people. Even when they're no longer with us, no longer current, their influence, hopefully good, will last many lifetimes... living from person to person to person.

Soldiering On...

Whew! Just got through another workshop. Can I admit to being a bit peeved my students didn't do their homework? Does anyone READ anymore?

I gotta admit, I'm a bit of a word snob. I love the power and punch of language. Love writing... all that jazz. So when people who've signed up for something they say they want to do -- writing, and then don't write or do the work to write...? I get a bit cranky. Yes, I'm pouting. Did pout. For a few hours.

Then I got over it.

Everybody's process is different. I'm trying both to remember and respect that. Sigh. So we go forward... soldiering on.

There's still much work to be done.

Busy Busy...

I'm so tired, I can barely keep my eyes open. I haven't posted in several days and know it's time. Much is going on but I don't want to get too bogged down with details. The most important thing is I'm meeting people -- interesting people. As I move forward with teaching and push into mobile media and social video, I feel good about the progress.

More later in the week.

And So It Goes...

Okay, had the meeting on Saturday and only four showed -- after getting 16 RSVPs. Am I peeved? Yeah. Did I spent unnecessary time moving the meeting because the 16 was more than the original space could handle? Yeah. So not only did the non-showing RSVPs upset the apple cart, they wasted everyone's time.

Not cool.

Therefore, changes will be made. Initiating a 3-Strikes policy. If you miss more than three meetings, after having sent an RSVP, you will be removed from the group.

New year, new policy, new attitude.

Another Day...

Okay, today's starting out a bit better. Just got some clarity from a long-awaited phone call -- imagine that, a phone call. That's so last century. Kidding. Also got some contact intel on a certain someone I'm trying to nail down for a possible gig. More on that in the near future.

Progress.

That's all I needed to feel human again.

With regard to the teaching stuff -- having to juggle a few venues to handle the overflow on reservations. Who knew? Guess I have to take into account people are likely to respond at the last-minute to things. Mmm...

January blahs...

Gosh, it's only the first week of the new year and people aren't back to work yet en masse. Argh!! Have some projects I'm working on and can't get to key stakeholders. And I'm pouting...

And when that happens, usually it's time to go back to my stories, which is what I'm doing today. I'll be writing, and loving it.

So there.
