Lenten Flowers

Bonus post today. Here is my most recent article in the Catholic Register.

Incidentally, I was feeling terrible about something before I wrote the article and when it was done I went back to feeling terrible. In between I summoned up all my writer powers and wrote the article. For this is what it means to be a writer, especially a writer with a looming deadline. Writing is not about how you feel while you are writing. Writing is about blocking out everything except that which you need to write.

Not to toot my horn, but it takes discipline and hard work. I write almost every day, and because I write almost every day, I can write almost every day. And it's why I can write to deadline when I feel like absolute heck.

For Part 3, Chapter 10 of the bodis-riper, go to the post below.

Because those are the ones most likely to get me into hot water, that's why.

Fair enough. My opinion, though, is that it is not fear but the need to put things into categories and the lack of a brain-to-mouth filter.
