Write Early, Write Often…Write Something! Teresa Fannin, reader, writer. What sits on my desk. Yep Veterans Day. Just the right day to talk about the election. This is not an explanation. Nor an excuse. It is not an apology. It is my thought process. What’s done is done. We voted our conscience. I am not going to debate criminal versus non, James Comey, or any other aspect, but we were tired of the Clintons, just plain tired. I have no idea. I do know that my parents. They voted, not from an emotional po...

Write Early, Write Often…Write Something! Teresa Fannin, reader, writer. What sits on my desk. Category Archives: Art and Craft. So here’s the basic story: Longmire is a throw-back to the hard-bitten outside, well-educated inside, taciturn and nonjudgmental sheriff cowboy of myth. Yes, myth because I was raised in the west. I have always been uneasy with this character because the west is hard and unforgiving. But to the series…. And, really, how very banal of the writers! Ah, but I digress…. I means if ...

Write Early, Write Often…Write Something! Teresa Fannin, reader, writer. What sits on my desk. Monthly Archives: August 2016. Flipping through the channels the other night I stopped at Charlie Rose on NPR. He was interviewing Jimmy Walker. The stats for Jimmy are interesting. 187 events without a single win. Wow! I get that. For me the gates have been closed at submission. I should be clear, not by anyone else but me! Because Jimmy is right. He believed. I did not. Did I hear you ask why? But I think I g...

Write Early, Write Often…Write Something! Teresa Fannin, reader, writer. What sits on my desk. Which brings me to the Penderwicks. Or Jeanne Birdsall’s The Penderwicks. I was looking for a book that would not have any relevance to what I was currently writing which was narrative non fiction and middle grade mystery, looking for something that would be totally different. For night time reading I use the North Carolinas Digital Library. So, back to the Penderwicks. Be no more stories, but Wait! There is...

Write Early, Write Often…Write Something! Teresa Fannin, reader, writer. What sits on my desk. Monthly Archives: November 2016. It’s the day after Thanksgiving. Both the girls, their girls and their husbands, including in-laws and baby grands sat down for a wonderful meal. Was it all peaches and cream? No, we do not. We have had a variety of ways to get where we are. I have no idea. But I have a belief that the system of government we have will always work. It is the day after Thanksgiving and I apprecia...

Write Early, Write Often…Write Something! Teresa Fannin, reader, writer. What sits on my desk. I find this tendency to hyperbole sad. It is ruining the English language. We become inured to when the word is important. What have they wrought? And if you think that you know just because of campaign rhetoric, well, you really need to wait awhile. Will there be more women candidates? What will they be like? Where will they come from? Is that a good thing? Because of what he actually did, DID! Consider that a...

Write Early, Write Often…Write Something! Teresa Fannin, reader, writer. What sits on my desk. Monthly Archives: September 2016. Beliefs, Shifts & Bias. To me, that deep core belief that I am American first comes sincerely from the fact that I am Roman Catholic–I understand beliefs harkening back hundreds, even thousands of years. I get what it is to sustain that belief. I know what it is to stand by ideals that may not be popular, may even be deadly. Why does this matter? We post the highlights of our d...

Write Early, Write Often…Write Something! Teresa Fannin, reader, writer. What sits on my desk. Monthly Archives: April 2016. This Day in History. The world in many ways was much like now. The geo-political landscape was constantly changing. Then, there was the threat from the USSR because Joseph Stalin died March 5 leaving an obviously struggle inside the Kremlin. Then, it was the Korean Conflict and the multiple events, sometimes called. This entry was posted in Writing The Past. And so I muse….

Write Early, Write Often…Write Something! Teresa Fannin, reader, writer. What sits on my desk. Does any writing count? I means if I am writing email invitations to possible presenters? Or answering a friend about an issue? Or completing a post, like this one? If I were truthful, which I want to be, the answer would be no. Because I have been a world-class, olympic gold medalist procrastinator for a long time. In the past my procrastination technique has included ironing–amazing yes? The Penderwicks →.
