Welcome to the Wakefield Doctrine (the theory of clarks, scotts and rogers)

This will be a brief Sunday Morning Post.

Am recovering from a case of Influenza, should be getting back to normal (writing) schedule this week. In point of fact, we can look to the week ahead for:

a) the next Installment in our Serial:  ‘Birthday Party at the Calypso Club’.

The Wakefield Doctrine has been seeing a rapid increase in Readers of late, I thought it might be best to give the ‘backstory’  to this really fun story that we have unfolding, on Mondays.

We created the story of ‘the Birthday Party at the Calypso Club’ as a vehicle to present and illustrate the three personality types of the Wakefield Doctrine. As is the case in real life, everyone in our tale is (either) a clark or a scott or a roger. This Serial (story) serves not only to present examples of the (personality types), but it  also lets Readers see the unique ways that the three personality types interact. Of course, those who have followed the story from the beginning know which personality types each of the characters are and, anyone sufficiently versed in the Wakefield Doctrine, but has not read the story, will, nonetheless recognize each of the characters by personality type. For everyone else, here’s a quick Cliff Notes* on the Characters in our little story:

Alex Delguidice: scottian woman
Sam: clark
Violet: clarklike female
Meg: scottian woman
Mel: roger
Jen (or Jennie): rogerian female
Jimmie: scott

b) Wednesday is the Wakefield Doctrine 30 Minute Radio Hour on the BlogTalkRadio, always interesting!

c) Friday of this week I see that another ‘blog hop’  is scheduled, this time co-hosted  by none other than Terrye Toombs (aye carumba!) , (along with Janine and Kate) you won’t want to miss that.

I am toying with the idea of using the Wakefield Doctrine’s  Conference Call feature  (that we use to host the Saturday Night Drive Call-in Show)  for other purposes.
Show of hands: Anyone have an interest in a live Writer’s Chat and/or Clinic? Figure we could do maybe 60 minutes at a time to be determined this week?  It would be a chance to talk, in realtime, about issues and concerns regarding blogs and blog writing. I’ve done a couple of ‘Writer Clinic’ calls with Molly, and the benefit of actually talking, as opposed to Comment…Reply…Comment is very superior.

(The Conference Call is simply a regular phone number (nothing 900 like) and an access code…I have not heard from anyone calling into the Saturday Night Drive that it is particularly expensive to call or anything… hell I think it’s a Minnesota exchange…how exotic can that be?)

Let us know your thoughts

* do they still produce Cliff Notes?  for the younger Readers, Cliff Notes was basically google before the internet…except in print and specific to a single topic, just in case you needed to report on ‘War and Peace’ and your girlfriend took your copy when she ran off with your buddy and left you staring at the posters on your dormitory room walls…wondering if you could go on.**

** lol sorry… memory fragment from a book project…. maybe the Influenza has not totally left the building yet.
