T-Shirt Wisdom

I’ve been writing on this blog for more than two years, almost 500 posts. I’ve written about national news, pet peeves, television shows, movies, cat behavior, and sports (mostly golf and Tiger). And I think I’m running out of things to say. I began my sixth novel three years ago and then abandoned it because of writer’s block and this blog, but I think I should now get back to it. And I could keep track of my progress here, a summation of each day’s progress. Any blog readers might not be interested in such, but as I said, I’m running out of interesting ideas. The main character of Happy Valley is an aging retired English teacher (You know the old writer’s advice: write about what you know.) who is trying to write a children’s novel about two desert elves named Saffron and Joshua and their companions Smoke and Cree. I could concentrate on the progress of that effort. Meanwhile, how about some T-shirt wisdom.
