Cleaning up my space
Utilizing some other net space I've acquired, my J/7 videos are now linked through MySpace. Please consider rating and leaving a comment or two on any of them. Thank you,
new manip
I was playing around with a cast shot from the play "Our Leading Lady", I came up with a new manip. Check it out here and a close up.
If you want to check out my other manipulated graphics, here's the entire album.

what to write when you can't get started?
Before I begin, let me just say that I hope everyone had a Valentine's Day with at least the best person in your life... you. Telling yourself you love you is something I'm only just learning to do. It is rather remarkable how it can change your outlook.
Now on to today's ramble...
Sometimes the words you want just don't come. The stress of the day can't be let go, or the story is stumping you on where to go next.
In those cases, I back off and try to write something nonsensical, or at least not connected to anything. I'll haul out a folder on my computer full of exercises, idea starters, a few URLs where inspiration struck before. Before long I've written a couple hundred words, maybe not useful, but the page is no longer blank and the belief that I can write has smashed its way through the wall of self-doubt that always erects around me in time of stress.
In a favorite blogspot blog I frequent, pbackwriter.blogspot.com, she recently posted the "rules" of "Dictionary: Impossible." 5 random words from a dictionary, through title development, story premise, opening line, maybe even to levels 4 or 5, writing a whole story from one of the developed ideas.
I made it through level 3. And I tucked the typed pages away in my "inspirations" folder probably never to be pulled out again, but heck, I wrote for a solid hour, that's what counts.
Now if I could get through the "business" of releasing "Turning Point" -- only 3 more weeks! -- I might be able to unwind the stress-spring enough to finish up any number of actual, honest-to-goodness, stories.
