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

Created by Lizzi in the Summer of ’82, the Ten Things of Thankful bloghop is the reflection of the best of the potential offered by the early days of the blogosphere while, at the present time, showing it’s capacity for charity in the quality of some of the work to be posted there, i.e. the best-effort by a child’s work on the refrigerator door, determination to find a common link between their loved ones and the light that shines within, overcoming the temptation to give up, and persisting despite the drumbeat of rhetorical standards….

what?!! oh, this thing on? lol

Dyanne is the host. Mimi and Pat and Lisa are the co-hostinae. Stop by for a read. Send in a post for the common good.

9) serial story writing (serial story writing motto: “Well, sure they’re all part of you, where else can fictional characters come into the light; but the less you insist they conform to your expectations, the more the Readers will enjoy the story.” ‘the Whitechapel Interlude‘ and ‘the Case of the Missing Fig Leaf‘

10) Secret Rule 1.3 (from the Book of Secret Rules, aka the Secret Book of Rules) in part: “…[i]n the time of long days and short(er) nights, one’s allotment of the silly and frivolous is increased in direct proportion to one’s serious and well-meant efforts to the contary.”
