I’ve found this to be true.
Things have a way of happening when they’re suppose to happen, not when we expect them to happen! Good things happen to good people when the time is right!

List Of GOP US Senators To Contact To Push For End To 2019 Shutdown With No End In Sight
Please help! Here are the addresses.
For the month of January 2019, it is crucial that we contact all republican US senators to let them know that 800,000 public servants and their families should not be held hostage because its members cannot be counted on to do their jobs.
It is nothing to brag about to be a party to the longest shutdown in US history starting on 22nd of December with no end in sight, so that many government employees have to go without their pay or have them delayed.
AS per 1/19/ 2018 NY Times report, remind senators of their Majority Leader Mitch McConnell’s January 2018 comment regarding a shutdown over an immigration issue which lasted 2 days. This first US federal government shutdown of 2018 began at midnight EST on Saturday, January 20, 2018, and ended on the evening of Monday, January 22.

Good People Doing Good Things — Dynamic Duos!
Young dynamic duos of young people doing good things for others.
It has been a while since I’ve focused exclusively on young people doing good things, but these are always so uplifting … it is so heartwarming when we see kids who already have compassion and genuinely want to find ways to help others. So, today, I would like to introduce two dynamic duos, brothers and sisters who work together to do good things to help humanity.
Julianna Gouthiere remembers when she was six years old, her mom telling her a story about a time when a fireman gave her a stuffed animal at the scene of a motorcycle accident and the impact it had on her mom’s life. She turned to her mom and said she wanted to do that — to give stuffed animals to children in hard life situations.

Choosing a Book Title – Be Smart
A good post by author Don Massenzio on how to choose a title for your books.
When I wrote my first novel, I wanted the main character to be, like me, and Italian American. There are many Italian-sounding first names I could have gone with, Tony, Johnny, Carmine, etc. I decided to go with Frank. Frank is a name that is common among Italians, but it also gave me the opportunity to be clever with the title. I went with Frankly Speaking. There were other books with this title, but none in the genre in which I was writing. It was a good title in that it seemed to work and not adversely affect sales.
Then came the sequel. For the sequel, I decided to use ‘Frank’ in the title. To try something different, I actually ran a contest and the person with the winning title had their name used as a character in the book. It was gimmicky, but it worked and I landed…

Welp…someone else burned my boat for me.
Kawanee needs people to care. Her workplace is closing.
Here I was trying to be all positive and stuff… and today they announce that they are closing the site I work at. United Healthcare Medicare is pulling their contract with the company I work for, and that means no job. This is for me and my son both, there will be no income at all since we both work there.
Still I’m trying to be Positive:
I loved my work. I loved helping people. It was rewarding even though the pay wasn’t great, I drove about an hour to get there. I loved helping people get their meds when they couldn’t afford them, scheduling cancer/health screenings so bad things get caught early when they can be treated.
I loved calling a doctor and telling them they were illegally charging patients and that I was filing a complaint with Medicare. I loved telling a doctor they ran something wrong and…

The Top 50 Trumpaus From The Atlantic
A list of 50 Trumpaus.
The Atlantic has done a series that I found to be both comprehensive and interesting. What they did was … well, I’ll let Jeff Goldberg, Editor in Chief tell you …
In an October 2016 editorial, The Atlantic wrote of Donald Trump: “He is a demagogue, a xenophobe, a sexist, a know-nothing, and a liar.” We argued that Trump “expresses admiration for authoritarian rulers, and evinces authoritarian tendencies himself.” Trump, we also noted, “is easily goaded, a poor quality for someone seeking control of America’s nuclear arsenal. He is an enemy of fact-based discourse; he is ignorant of, and indifferent to, the Constitution; he appears not to read.”
In retrospect, we may be guilty of understatement.
There was a hope, in the bewildering days following the 2016 election, that the office would temper the man—that Trump, in short, would change.
He has not changed.
This week marks the midway point…

A writing tip from Ernest Hemingway.
Some ideas from Kawanee.
Hello Everybody,
This is my very first helpful (I hope) writing tip post of the year. *Yay, throws book shaped confetti around*
I’m going to be looking at advice from various well known and respected authors. They may be modern or classic authors. I’ll be posting them as I find them and weighing in on what they say with my own personal experience and hopefully help someone else avoid mistakes I’ve made. Somewhere along the way, maybe I’ll keep someone from giving up, maybe I’ll help myself as well.
So, let’s dive in with a classic.
The first draft of everything is shit. -Ernest Hemingway
While he’s not wrong, I’ve found there’s the danger in following Mr. Hemingway’s school of thought. I disagree with him that the first draft is “shit”.
But why? Glad you asked, I’ve got two reasons for disagreeing with him.
1) Sometimes the first draft is everything.
