I have rearranged! <br /><br />And swords are pretty much awesome. <br /><br />I think the favorite thing I ever wrote for a serious radio news broadcast was on a piece we did about Christmas traditions and I wrote a setup that included the phrase, "In the shadow of a Christmas tree and a two-handed Scottish Claymore..."C.

I think I should make a point (I'm too lazy to look for another phrase, so let's just say pun intended) of making at least one post every now and then that's not about writing.<br /><br />(Why is your follower tool/device hidden in the corner? It took me until now to find it.)<br /><br />And finally, I second that.

Those posts have their place, but I'm worn out on them.<br /><br />Just clicked quickly over to your blog and will be back later. Desk totems rule when used sparingly. (Clutter breaks my brain.)<br /><br />Whether it was Mr. Cussler or Mr. Cussler's identical cousin Patty, he was a great story-teller and that was the most fun flight I've ever had.C. N.

I'll admit that I've gotten to the point where if I can tell a post will be about writing (of the dry sort), I won't even open it. <br /><br />Perhaps I've gone the other way in my own blog. Can't remember the last time I really wrote about writing...hmm, not sure I ever did, honestly. <br /><br />I like to think that was Mr. Cussler, and I'm forever jealous. :)Summer Freyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04234534550255682010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3681522276752048718.post-91036915156836783532011-07-14T11:06:10.151-04:002011-07-14T11:06:10.151-04:00@Frances - Of that, I have no doubt.

I think one of the things that makes blogging and social-networking feel like a burden to so many writers is that they end up boring <i>themselves</i> with their one-dimensionality.<br /><br />@Elena - Thanks so much for stopping by! If you have running and parenting going on as well as you're writing, it sounds like you have a full load of life!C. N.

I realized that's what I was doing for a while and made a conscious effort to broaden what I was talking about when I realized I'd become one-dimensional writer girl. All of us (hopefully) are well-rounded people. We shouldn't be afraid of sharing more parts of ourselves than just the writer.Roni Lorenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02719679344024635326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3681522276752048718.post-86961487954169706912011-07-14T08:56:12.873-04:002011-07-14T08:56:12.873-04:00In answer to your question, Nevets - brilliant, th...In answer to your question, Nevets - brilliant, that's all.

I winced when I wrote the sentence because I still haven't gotten my hands on your books and it's stuck in my head that someone once called them crime novels, but I actually don't know first hand. I'm a bad friend. <br /><br />So, please, correct me. How would you describe your books?<br /><br />@Michael - Crisp summary there. :)<br /><br />@Aliya - Agreed and you're welcome, and I just saw that darn <i>h</i> I put on your name again. I wish I knew why my fingers always do that. I know how to spell your name if asked, but my fingers always want to put an <i>h</i>. It's obnoxious.C. N.
