My May 2025 Update

Hey, I don’t have a book review or much of an update except to say that I am in the midst of pre-production on a short film. And, just thinking aloud here, I had been having some thoughts about Facebook, things I’ve seen on Facebook, people who write long tirades about the political situation, various political situations. Anyway, I’m not into that, but I have to say that there are probably a few things that bear our attention, and I think it’s good that people care. However, I was also thinking, rather than write a long tirade on Facebook, why not write an op-ed for a newspaper?

Okay, just a thought. I mean, it’s great to vent, but it’s also great to try to make a difference. And then I thought, wouldn’t it be interesting if all the people who are so concerned about this topic could meet virtually and iron out some kind of letter and all send that letter to their Congress people, in other words, take a coordinated political action. Isn’t that an interesting thought? I’m not a very political person, but it would just be interesting to see that happen.

 

 

Of course, I don’t mean to suggest that I would do such a thing. I don’t think. I might choose to do something. I mean, think of all the things authors could do together to help themselves if we did a thing like that. Maybe that is what I’m suggesting. Anyway, I don’t know. I’m not starting a cult or anything. Okay. Let’s be clear on that. I’m not that kind of person. I’m just a person who enjoys the idea of getting something done.

For instance, right now, I should be writing my novel or working on something like that, but I’m doing this instead because it’s just a thought and could lead to that community that I’m talking about or have been talking about. I don’t know. This was obviously unscripted. I’m always unscripted. I should call this The Always Unscripted Show or something. Anyway, that’s it, and I’ll be seeing you.

Meet Debbi

Welcome to my writers' corner of the Internet. I'm a novelist, who also writes short stories and screenplays. I hope to share the benefit of my experiences as an indie author with dystonia since 2009. I also post a lot of book reviews, because I love to read and learn new things. I hope to share that knowledge with you.
