Charles Bukowski

  The Laughing Heart your life is your life don't let it be clubbed into dank submission. be on the watch. there are ways out. there is a light somewhere. it may not be much light but it beats the darkness. be on the watch. the gods will offer you chances. know them. take them. you can't beat death but you can beat death in life, sometimes. and the more often you learn to do it, the more light there will be. your life is your life. know it while you have it. you are marvelous the gods wait to delight in you.   © LI NK

what the heck is going on here

 

Otis is a shapeshifter. You knew that, right?

Let's review ::: blog experiments ::::  WHAT??

(Naked Jesus? yup) Oh, hell, I write everything down


OK: my Home Meets Dwell blog became Otis and Puck...







 
 
What started you blogging? 
I had to start a blog when my first book ONE SMALL SACRIFICE was published in the late fall of 2009. If you have a book, you MUST have a blog. I have so many going I can’t keep track sometimes.
 
OK: Blog American Indian Adoptees on Google Blogger is now a website: https://blog.americanindianadoptees.com/, OTIS and PUCK, TutuHockey,  Blue Hand Books will be a new site eventually, COSMIC GLUE Book Series, and a YES to a few more...  There were many I made as an experiment like Lara-Oar, Thought Bomb and Big Boom.

I have an author website now! HERE - plus, I have a new book series out It's A Miracle We've Survived this far! Book 1: Mental Midgets |

This was me playing with book cover design
 
BOOKS?? And Blue Hand Books has its own website. (2025: kinda broken and will be moved)
And I write on the Lost Daughters blog (not too often.)

See what I mean? There are so many!  I used to teach how to blog at the local community college.

Do you worry about how your blogs affect others? 
I don’t worry anymore but I did when I first started blogging.

Where do you write?
I write in a small office which is also my library.

 
 
Where do you get your ideas from?
Ideas pop into my head all the time—and I read a variety of things to get inspired. Real Life inspires me, like the true story about Naked Jesus who stalled traffic on I95 and caused Herb’s fishing charter boat to delay it’s trip a few hours in Hyannis.  Those kind of things make me think, AH, sure, I could write about that!

What do you do to soothe your soul?
Writing has always helped me sort out and process my feelings. It still does.

What’s one of your favourite books?
Any book by the Dakota scholar Vine Deloria (but there are many many more.) If you read some of my blogs, you will find many of my book reviews...

What are you searching for?
I am not searching like I used to. I’m in the moment.

What’s one thing you can’t live without?
A Computer.  My husband!

Introvert or Extrovert?
I was an extrovert until I healed my soul.

Favorite place to write?
Near running water like the ocean… it helps me breathe.
 
2023?
I'm a greatgrandma. My grandson Robby had a son.

quote of the day

Like the crooked man who lived in a crooked house, it was the characterful, not to say skew-whiff, nature of the house that first drew him there: ‘It works quite well with the higgledy-piggledy of my collecting.’
