Welcome to the Wakefield Doctrine (the theory of clarks, scotts and rogers)
So a number of topics to cover:
- friend of the Doctrine, zoe has a new bloghop that we are participating in, over at the Carrot… (this will be linked over there, so be on your best behavior! I don’t want a repeat of what happened last time we went visiting as a Guest Post writer! I still haven’t heard back from the blogger who asked us!)
- running a little late on Chapter 20 (will still write a little teaser)
- an old video, like the secret moon rocks sample, still waiting to go viral
- Cynthia and Denise and I had a most excellent and insightfulizing discussion during Saturday’s Call-in…. about why clarks are so easily bored. We’ll trial-balloon a few thoughts today.
Carrot! (oh shit! I just jumped over there and…and she’s got people sending in genuinely interesting things, information and samples of, like, talented people working on things paintings and playing musical instruments, making really attractive jewelry. damn! gotta just tough it out)
Hey! I used to do travel videos! Well, not so much travel videos as videos of places that I visited when on business trips… not so much videos as selfies (before they were all the rage and total expected)…. here’s one I found in an old Post!
here you go zoe!
Item 2: Chapter 20…. a little late this week. Plan to publish tonight, still need a little polish and a rogerian review (courtesy of Phyllis). Chapter 20 accounts for what happen after Chapter 19…. no, wait, that did come out right, of course, it deals with Chapter 19! What I’m saying is that, you know how Chapter 19 ended? well, it now seems that Sister Margaret did not make the safest decision, one might even say that her impulsive act has set off a chain of events that no one could have anticipated… yeah, I know! I like Sister Margaret too! Watch for the Chapter later tonight, early tomorrow morning.
Item 3: well, that’s kinda already covered in Item 1
Item 4: so we were talking about the Doctrine and someone, I think it was Cynthia said, ‘I notice that I always end up getting bored, no matter how interesting or challenging or difficult a project might be at the beginning. You don’t suppose the Doctrine addresses that, do you?’ As a matter of fact, the Wakefield Doctrine does! The Wakefield Doctrine can say that it addresses virtually everything in life, because it’s concerned with relationships, not merely a list of activities, attributes, tendencies or inclinations. The Doctrine does not limit itself to providing a comprehensive list of things that hopefully match what a person ascribes to their own personality types. No, it does not. What the Wakefield Doctrine does, is direct our attention to the way, ‘we relate ourselves to the world around us‘. (Note the exact wordation. I didn’t mean to say, ‘we relate to the world around us‘, there is a huge difference in the two statements). So that’s why I think we can work with the topic that our accomplished friend has raised…. in the next Post! lol (sorry, gots to finish Chapter 20)
About clarkscottroger
link it in! I think you read the wrong post? DId you miss your call out??? Just in case…here it is… I think the Doctrine is one of the most creative endeavors Ive ever seen …accurate as well!
IT’S AN EXPRESSION OF ANY FORM OF CREATIVITY THAT YOU FIND HELPFUL TO YOU…
WHETHER IT’S WRITING,
YOUR KID’S ARTWORK,
MAYBE YOU PAINT, SEW, OR SING,
PERHAPS YOU HAVE A QUIRKY PERSONALITY THEORY ALL YOUR OWN
PRACTICE IMPERSONATIONS
ANYTHING!
thanks Clark!
oh, frist!
“(oh shit! I just jumped over there and…and she’s got people sending in genuinely interesting things, information and samples of, like, talented people working on things paintings and playing musical instruments, making really attractive jewelry. damn! gotta just tough it out)””
OH will you stop it! Do you know how many people I tell about my friend with the quirky personality theory??? LINK IT UP! THanks CLark!
Looooolll @ you getting your ass handed to you!
I wonder how many clarks would come out as ‘plants’ on the Belbin test – I was one; the kind of person you only want one of in a team; the sort to have a hundred ideas, go off half-cocked and in at the deep end, then get bored and leave it all unfinished as they move onto something shinier. Seems like it would sum up a lot of us…
well, duh, it is the Wakefield Doctrine! lol
Nice job for a plant. Thanks for the comment and I will get out of the tub as soon as I am ready!
The WD is definitely a fascinating and creative endeavor, Clark. Well done. And since I’ve clearly read this with too low a caffeine level in my brain, I’ll be back to read again after coffee because I totally don’t get the plant thing. :D
Would someone please tell me what I wrote about plants, the writing of which I apparently neglected to inform myself lol
I would like to join that hop…but like…next week or something. Hehe.
Can’t wait to read that post you’re a-workin’ on. :)
Its last monday of month and link is open a full week…so til next monday….next week!!
It’s amazing how on those Saturday night calls, it’s only well after we’ve gone over time and are winding down that we walk right into topics like the one Cyndi brought up lol
It is worthy of more (and more) discussion. Not only for the benefit of us clarks, but for our scottian and rogerian friends and family. An explanation of the “boredom effect” would go a long way to help the understanding of how we (clarks) are relating ourselves to the world.
Having said that, I need to stop, pay attention and get to the bottom of it my own damn self!
I agree totally with Ivy that the development of the Wakefield Doctrine is one of the most creative undertakings I’ve seen, and I’m totally impressed by your ability to sustain interest in in and expand it. My attention span would never follow through to that extent. Your video was super-cool!
Thank you, Josie I’ll be the first to admit how amazing the Doctrine is, as my experience with it has been every bit the ‘what new thing can I discover about it’ as I present it. I was talking to zoe the other day and mentioned what I often say about the Doctrine (and blog), ‘since it started, I’ve gotten more out of it (energy, interest and enthusiasm) than I’ve put in! it’s never been work. pretty damn cool is all it is.’
