Welcome to the Wakefield Doctrine (the theory of clarks, scotts and rogers)
I know! Posting a post at 9:73 pm?!?!! What the hell is this, exam week in college or maybe the first three or four years of this blog?**
Doctrine Readers know that we participate, once a week on Thursdays, in a writing prompt bloghop by the name of (the) Six Sentence Story. And Readers can’t be blamed for suspecting part of our motivation is to improve our writing chops. An old adage tells us, “If you want to improve a skill, stay in the company of those who demonstrate the proficiency you desire. They’ll either run you out of the group or let you stay long enough to not embarrass them.” Or words to that effect.
Them folks at the Six Sentence Story is a wicked talented bunch. And one of them, Chris Hall is one of them what have managed have their work published. Out there. In the ‘real’ world! Very cool.
(An aside: there’s a group of hyper-imaginative, excessively-skilled writers and writerinae who’ve created a virtual hangout that sports the rather catchy moniker, the Six Sentence Café and Bistro. It’s a place (online) where the world is, well, it’s what you want it to be.)
This book launch will be Friday, but the celebration starts early.
Chris Hall will be celebrating the launch of her latest book, Spirit of the Shell Man, at the Six Sentence Café and Bistro this Friday, March 4, 2022.
One of the relentlessly talented people in the group even did a promo video,
these ‘people/fictional characters/autobiographia’ are referred to as the Proprietors. Besides Chris, there is Nick who created the video, Mimi who knew that he could do it, Jenne who sees beyond the baseline premise, Ford who brings the heart to the group and Denise, the foundation for the group.
* if you can’t hear the electro-mechanical dih, dih di-dih sound of the first DM system, we probably can’t help you.
** we were blog post writing animals, back in 2009 through, say, 2014… not for nothin’ but I distinctly recall running to my computor-graph just because a portion of a song used as background music to a commercial monopolized by mind and fired my imagination

And continuing the Proprietors presentation:
And the Seventh of the Seven,
The one and only, the Wakefield lord, the master of the Doctrine, Claaark!
(band plays the riff)
Thrilled and more thrilled!! This is such a cool build up, Clark. Thanks for the words and Spira, thanks again for the awesome promo vid.
You are most welcome Chris.
What is the saying…you’ll never walk alone!
That’s the one!😁
agree a fun expression of the near-unlimited benefits and productive diversion available to those of us in this virtual place*
* I concur… I’m glad we have Nick, direct and to the point

Chris’s book launch is the event of the season! Think you’ve got everything covered here, Clark…all the flyers did their job and Spira’s vid! It’s going viral!
Let’s get this party started!
