What am I Reading? - I have read so much in the past few months and
are so behind on reviews! The goal is to post all of them this week! Be looking
for reviews of The Surge by Donna Elliot, Gavin by Russell and Holly Kothe,
Angel Eyes by William Worthy & The Mother of All Things by Gabriel Blake.
What am I Listening to? – A
lot of upbeat music. Black-Eyes Peas, Toby Keith, Fun, Kelly Clarkson, etc.
Keeping me motivated!
What Quote am I pondering? – Not really a quote,
just a word. Something I have encountered in several random conversations this
week. The word is Honor. It seems the weight of this word has lessened in the
past century. Our current generation and our children do not seem to know the
true meaning of the word, and this makes me sad. ~ Honour (or Honor) is the
idea of a bond between an individual and a society as a quality of a person
that is both of social teaching and of personal ethos, that manifests itself as
a code of conduct, and has various elements such as valor, chivalry, honesty,
and compassion.
What am I Researching? – Oddly enough writing fight scenes. It is one of the facets
of my writing I struggle with. Been interesting. Also been researching Grant
money. Applied for an Awesome Grant – that is literally the name of it – to help
with the launch of Writing Warriors United. We shall see, fingers crossed!
Yummy Meal of the Week – Butternut Squash Chili –
Roasted butternut squash with black beans, corn, and taco seasoning. Top with
shredded cheddar cheese. Simple, fast, Yum!
What did I Learn? – I learned there is literally a
plastic island the size of Texas in the middle of the ocean. So disturbing,
right? Makes we think of Wall-E and his little compression boxes. You’d think
we could find a use for plastic. Why can’t we build something? Genius brains!
Get to work…please?
What am I Watching? – I watched the Dark Knight with my son. Forgot
how awesome this movie is and what a loss of a wonderful actor it marked. Heath
Ledger as the Joker is – in my humble opinion—unmatched. The Chris Nolan series
of Batman movies are my favorite! Always worth a re-visit when looking for
something entertaining.
