Inspiration for Booklets

What inspires the writer inside? 

I was asked this question recently. What inspires me to write my booklets? Mainly it is frustration. 

Surprising? It should not be. 

When I chat with people online or read comments at the end of articles, I get frustrated with the lack of information in respondents' remarks. From the complete lack of knowledge on current events, science, or just using common sense, I can see that people are not looking into for that which they speak, but parroting what they hear on television or reading online. 

That is frustrating. 

So I have been mad and upset when I try to inform people of what is fact versus fiction. [Insert laughter here.] Believe me, that is the truth of the matter. So I came up with this concept. Instead of using the direct approach, I should use the educational approach. 

People do not want to read long, heavily footnoted books. People want a quick read that can be done after dinner, before school, or during lunch at work. My booklets fit those scenarios. 

Under 50 pages so far and with a bibliography of online resources, usually from the historical or original document, my booklets can be easily read, discerned, and researched by anyone. Problem solved. 

So the next time I go online and read propaganda, I can paste the url to one of my booklets and educate people. No more frustration. No more anger. No more propaganda. 

I love it when a plan comes together! 

Have a great and wonderful day.

Paranormal Personalities Are Humans Too

I was doing a little research into the paranormal this evening and ran into story after story about personalities in the paranormal field who have allegedly done wrong. 

It is sad. 

If you are in the pubic eye, you need to step up.  That is just reality. You need to be beyond reproach.

As fans we also must remember not to place others on pedestals, reality television people are humans too. Mistakes are made. Stress is paralyzing. We must make sure to be good fans.

With that all said, I have read some disturbing articles about scamming people and not living up to expectations. That is not cool. 

It is a sad day when you try to support someone and that person does not support you back. 

I have ran into a similar situation and the person in my view is a fraud. We all deal with people like this in our lives. Some are just overwhelmed. Others believe you owe them a living. How do you know the difference? 

When you do not receive a product you have ordered or money returned. That is how. 

How would you deal with the scammer in your life?

Have a great and wonderful day. 

RIP Mr Spock

It seems legends are becoming myth.

Another old Hollywood actor passed away today. A man who had been in film and television since 1951 then went on to become a science fiction icon: Leonard Nimoy as Star Trek's Mr. Spock. The character reflect our humanity back at us. 

Sometimes too well. 

Like Robin Williams before him, he will be missed. Hollywood is losing its icons as surely as it produces the next generation of them. Today, we sit and read over the accomplishments of the son of Ukrainian immigrants.

Since James Doohan passed away ten years ago, I guess Scottie really did beam him up...
