Welcome to the Wakefield Doctrine (the theory of clarks, scotts and rogers)
Hey! Fun post here, yo.
Our friend, Ms. Avery, from the Six Sentence Story bloghop informed me that the interview is ready to go to print! (Well, not ‘print’ print, ‘print’ read is more accurate).
Damn!*
D. Avery, a most talent rhetorician** who has a site, SHIFTNSHAKE (Home-brewed Prose & Poetry) asked me a few weeks ago if I’d let her and her friends at this flash-fiction site, where she’s like a founder or mainstay or total core-group, called (the) Carrot Ranch, do an interview. And, I was all, like, ‘Well, sure?’
This being the Wakefield Doctrine I answered all the questions and such.
Here is the result of that process (and irrepressive evidence the Wakefield Doctrine is a hella good tool for self-developing oneself):
Saddle Up Saloon; Howdy Clark Farley
(Hey, do me a solid and click over there and, you know, write a comment and such… you don’t have to mention being denizens here in ‘Outsider Emporium’ and all lol Or, tell ’em ‘Yeah, I been been known to associate with dicey characters, alluring femme fatales and stream-of-consciousness gurae****)
* an expression of appreciation for others, mixed with a touch of the self-consciousness of the Outsider, (Outsider motto: “Well, I don’t mind attention from friends and (some) contemporaries…but reserve the right to feel slight discomfit prominence, which is, all too often, the precursor state to scrutiny.”) But I kid. It’s fun and, and!! New Readers? This is all directly attributable to the efficaciousness of one personality theory. (Hint: Rhymes with Wakefield Doctrine… lol)
** what the hell! I was going to apply one of my favorite jokes, you know, ‘not a ‘real’ word’ and, as I often do1 I looked up the word and it’s an actual, defined and listed in, like Mirriam-Webster and the fricken Oxford Dictionary!
**** pl. guru. example: you the Persistent Reader and them what identify with this crowd
- being a clark, I have zero self-consciousness or such about looking up words… it’s not like I’m ever gonna be accused of being dumb or stupid, ya know? Crazy, sure, get that all the time, but the thing about being an Outsider, intellectual insecurity really isn’t an issue

I’ll head on over there today fer sure!
We’ll get you interviewed too. This is different than the other interview thing I tried at my site a while back (thank you for participating)
Carrot Ranch is my other regular blog hop, my first actually, and a couple of invented characters from that site have been set up by Charli, lead buckaroo, to have their own saloon. (Yes a virtual saloon at a virtual ranch run by fictional ranch hands.) Some weeks it’s been all fictional characters in the place, some weeks it’s a recipe exchange. And recently two Mondays a month are guest hosted for poetry prompts.
excellent eclectihood*
Thank you for the opportunity to step out of my usual hangout and stretch a bit
* not a ‘real’ word**
** it is, however, a deliberate word***
***somewhat long …and involved explanation grounded in one of the predominant worldviews of The Wakefield Doctrine
Hey Clark. Thanks for this and the fun interview with Kid and Pal! Just to be clear I am a frequent flier at Carrot Ranch since finding it about 4 years ago but am not the founder, just a hanger on. I’m sure Charli Mills, lead buckaroo of Carrot Ranch will go through eventually and say hi.
Very cool (and quite prominent) blog… a credit to the potential of this here virtual world here.
Fun interview, nice place they have over there.
yeah, I was just sayin
