Ramblings

Rambling thought of the moment: Don't paint every stripe on a cat when it's being chased by a dog. it's an idea I'm trying to remember when I write narratives. There are situations when a great amount of detail is appropriate, but not when trying to describe sudden frantic explosive moments, like a cat being chased by a dog through a crowded church durring mass. The cat is a streak, the dog is a mass of teeth tongue and barks. There is no detail other than what is needed.

Just in case you haven't noticed,I haven't had a lot of time to put stuff on this site. Oh well, I guess that means I'm leading a busy productive life, and that this is some last ditch attempt to put SOMETHING on the site.

Bearing that in mind, here I am launching another section on the site. Ramblings is going to be a repository of all my short comments on life, and rhetorical questions that don't quite rise to the level of a letter to the editor.
