Hi!

To my 10 or 12 loyal readers, fret not. I've got a lot on my plate right now, but I will definitely be back blogging on a regular basis within a couple of weeks.

I'll explain more about what's going on later, but safe to say, life at Writer's Poke will remain slow as other areas of my life have moved to the front burner for the moment.

Nothing like putting out fires, eh?

(Sorry for the number of cliched expressions infesting the above paragraphs... no time right now to be even somewhat original... but enough about me... how's you're life going this summer? Email me, or post a comment.)

    Well I hope your writer's poke comes back soon. Kristel and I enjoy reading them. It makes us think and gives us something deep to talk about every now and then.

    Dear (Future)Dr. Fuller,

    I would just like to say that I will miss the deep thoughts and daily witticisms (wait, did I spell that correctly?)

    I also want to say how proud I am of you and how much you have accomplished this summer. You are so close to completing the final step on your academic journey to success and achievement. Just a question... will this be the final chapter? What will be next for the cerebral crusader? What will you tackle next? (..the couch?
    ..the pool table? .. Disneyland?) What WILL you do?

    Love you!
    Take care!

Microblogging? The Future of Writing with ADHD

Bill Bennett is a very common name. Right now, I'm reading a book by the Australian film maker Bill Bennett. He hiked the Camino in 2013 and then wrote a book (and made an Australian movie, not available in the U.S.) about it.  Seems he kept a blog about that hike, too. I went to look for his Camino blog, and found he started one years after the hike, but he didn't post regularly... His last post from 2022 announced his had Parkinson's and had kept the diagnosis secret for 4 years.  Now that almost three years have passed from that post, I wonder what's happened to him.  Blogs are weird. They just sit there. Anyone can stumble upon them, and read them. So I decided to keep looking for his Camino blog.  https://billbennett.blog/home/ *** And I found another Bill Bennett, this one from New Zealand, who keeps a microblog. It's current and updated. "What's a microblog?" My wife asked. Well, I said, it's a small blog. Just a sentence or two for a post. ...

Jesus and the Inconvenience of His Word to American Christians

I'm not a preacher, but if you follow the teachings of Jesus, it was he who said: Do to others as you would have them do to you. That's from Luke 6:31 , and reading all of Luke 6 isn't a bad way to spend five minutes of your time.  https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=luke%206&version=NIV I guess a lot of Christians understand the Golden Rule and practice it in their daily lives. Others, however, especially political Christians (and specifically those promoting Christian Nationalism) seem to ignore the Golden Rule. They don't care about humanitarian issues. They claim they either don't exist, aren't the problem of the United States, or are the fault of the victims. They counter with distractions like, "Why do you care so much about THEM when you should be caring about the REAL people who matter?" Sorry, but I don't recall Jesus ever dividing people into those who matter more and those who matter less. Of course, Jesus also said not to j...
