Harry Dresden’s Magical Chicago

Editor's note: What caught my attention in this "throwback" review of the series by Marilyn was that Chicago has a wizard. Who knew? - RJP I was feeling a bit forlorn after I completed Mike Carey‘s Felix Castor series until Harry Dresden tapped me on the shoulder and invited me into the world created for him by author Jim … Continue reading Harry Dresden’s Magical Chicago

YOU’VE EITHER GOT IT OR NOT

Style, by Rich Paschall Fashion trends come and go. Some return because they are interesting or "classic." Some do not because they are inexplicably bad. They are here for a while, then reason sets in. We are glad to see that the so-called "fashion trend" that saw young men wearing their baggy jeans below their … Continue reading YOU’VE EITHER GOT IT OR NOT

TELLING YOUR STORY – RICH PASCHALL

Finding Your Own Voice, by Rich Paschall What is the best way to relate something?  When do you communicate well?  What is it that gets your point across?  When does your voice stand out in a sea of voices?  How can you be heard?  I like to think that I can write about anything, but … Continue reading TELLING YOUR STORY – RICH PASCHALL

THE GIFT OF WORDS – Marilyn Armstrong

And thus shall I bestow upon you the gift of gab, the talent of words, the ability to write with clarity and precision. Congratulations. You are a writer. But -- how do you know? Because you write.

YOU’VE EITHER GOT IT OR NOT – Rich Paschall

Style, by Rich Paschall Perhaps you have noticed that it seems to have died out.  You are probably glad of it too.  You did not like it.  You may even have been insulted by it, so it is so long and farewell.  It should be like many style statements we have seen over recent generations.  … Continue reading YOU’VE EITHER GOT IT OR NOT – Rich Paschall

I AIN’T MARCHING ANYMORE

Am I the only person in this country to have never worn a uniform? I never competed in sports ... except as a bench-warmer for the high school swimming team. They didn't have uniforms. I don't think the team was good enough to compete anywhere. I wasn't in the marching band or any kind of … Continue reading I AIN’T MARCHING ANYMORE

HARMONY AND BALANCE

Style. My style. What an odd concept. I think I left "stylish" in the dust more than a decade ago. But, I suppose style and stylish are different concepts. Not stylish, never was that, but ... Does "eclectic" count? Is "anything goes" a style? Perhaps. In my world, I need balance. Colors, sizes, and shapes need … Continue reading HARMONY AND BALANCE
