I am so excited the editors at On Spec Magazine included my story, “Leaf,” in their latest issue.
Fiction Writing
The Secret Garden
“Is the spring coming?” he said. “What is it like?”
“It is the sun shining on the rain and the rain falling on the sunshine…”
―Frances Hodgson Burnett (b. November 1849 – d. October 1924)
Bette Davis
“This has always been a motto of mine:
Attempt the impossible in order to improve your work.”
Bette Davis (b. 1908 – d. 1989)
Fred Rogers
Shortly before Christmas, I watched the documentary “Won’t You Be My Neighbor?” about the career and legacy of Fred Rogers. He was an extraordinary individual with a beautiful outlook on life. If you haven’t seen it yet, I highly recommend it.
“Often when you think you’re at the end of something,
you’re at the beginning of something else.”
Fred Rogers (b. March 20, 1928 – d. February 27, 2003)
Christmas Canon
Johann Pachelbel (b. 1653 – d. 1706)
Johann Pachelbel’s Canon in D is one of the most beautiful pieces ever written. Little is known about the circumstances behind the composition. Here, the Trans-Siberian Orchestra gives it a Christmas twist.
Merry Christmas
and
all the best to everyone in 2019!
Audrey Hepburn
“If I’m honest I have to tell you I still read fairy-tales and I like them best of all.”
Audrey Hepburn (b. May 4, 1929 – d. January 20, 1993)
Breaking of the Sword
Loreena McKennitt is a gifted Canadian singer, songwriter, and musician. She released this song for Remembrance Day 2017.
I hope everyone takes a moment to observe a minute of silence at the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month (11:00 am, 11 November).
