Since it is likely a hot summer day for those of you north of the equator, I thought today’s video might cool you off. A tutorial on how people in Northern Scandinavia do their laundry. Here in Phoenix, we just leave the clothes on the sidewalk where they burst into flames. Much easier. [If you cannot see the video in your newsletter, please click through to the site to view it.]

Sometimes we must simply acknowledge the skill of others who can do what we cannot. The first 45 seconds of today’s video is a metaphor for what your manuscript will look like after a great editor slices and dices it into something unique and exciting. Of course, it could be just a potato being chopped up. But I prefer the word picture. Enjoy the skill of this chef! [If you cannot see the …

The Odd English Language: You Can’t Make This Stuff Up

In the English language, there is a two-letter word that has more meanings than any other two-letter word, and that word is UP. It is listed in the dictionary as an adverb, preposition, adjective, noun, or verb! (Click here for the Merriam-Webster Dictionary link and keep scrolling down the page.) There are over 30 definitions! I cannot claim total originality for what follows (I think variations …

The World Cup of Soccer is still going on with the teams whittled down to only a few still in the competition. There was a particular match played years ago that was captured on film by those odd men whose group is called Monty Pyton’s Flying Circus. This particular match between Greece and Germany is one that anyone with a modicum of philosophical knowledge will thoroughly enjoy. (The …

With July 4th this weekend, we in the United States celebrate Independence Day. Today, be stirred by this rendition of “The Star Spangled Banner” by Sandi Patty. First sung in 1986, it has become one of the most electrifying performances of all time. Turn up your volume, and stay through to the exhilarating crescendo at the end. (The video goes black for a moment after the opening …

Today, abbreviated, is 6/26/26. Isn’t that fun? To thoroughly geek out about numbers, watch today’s video about the origin of the ISBN number. Yes. It is interesting. I’ve written before about this seemingly unimportant little piece of publishing. Enjoy these other articles: “I Is for ISBN” “The ISBN Turns 50” Then click on today’s video and enjoy a …

Today is WORLD SAUNTERING DAY! To saunter. To stroll, amble, meander, wander, or mosey. Walk without a plot (like the way many try to write their novels!). Confuse your step counters and productivity apps. Don’t pretend you’re late for something. Drift past signs without reading them. (You’ll forget what they said anyway.) Walk as if your phone battery just died, and you’ve accepted …
