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

Started a ‘this is the Wakefield Doctrine’ post. Have run out of time. (We all know that’s not the problem we face every day. We always have the same amount of time, every day.) The problem is running out of energy. Not merely the ‘I feel invigorated and full of energy’ state of being. More the: ‘How can I seriously expect to succeed at…’ or ‘Screw it, a new project, that’s what I need to get going…’ or ‘If they’d of let me do it the way I wanted, none of this would have happened…’

Let dig out an old Post. There’s a day waiting out there. (New Readers? One way of identifying clarks is totally exemplified in the previous statement.)

“…as I was about to say, when I rudely interrupted myself” the Wakefield Doctrine (of blogs and book writing)

April 10, 2013

Welcome to the Wakefield Doctrine (the theory of clarks, scotts and rogers)‘…you should write a book.’  ‘…hey, have you ever thought about writing a book?’ ‘…you know clark, what would be real good, would be if you wrote all that stuff down.’  ‘…my sisters best friends’ brother wrote a book about personality types..I think they’re gonna make it into a movie.’

You know, whoever said, ‘…easier said than done’ was probably talking about blogs and book writing. It’s just that everyone, in this demographic…the one that includes: people who write daily blogs, girls who paint, guys with cameras, mothers with children and sisters with ambition, they all seem to have the energy, the skills and the time and the energy to produce, at very least, a draft manuscript of a decent idea for a book or a novel, a memoir or an autho-biography.
As a matter of fact, the group that I joined on ‘the Facebook’ (the BB&G) were in the midst of starting some kind of book-writing marathon… the nano-mo-ho, or the whoo-hoo-write write, whatever…I recall it was a Contest, at least as much of a contest that female women, god-bless-their-understanding-instead-of-killing-and-destroying hearts are capable of…. (remind me to tell you about a sporting event that centered on one of the women athlete’s being on the verge of breaking (a) world (scoring) record… it’s a sweet story from the X-chrome side of the fence and is totally incomprehensible to the rest of us. …it involved a team sport and when the athlete was at the point, about to break it, everyone stopped playing…I mean everyone, the other team included …no!  really! the opposing team stood aside so the shot could be made and the record books be re-written!! even a rogerwould shake their oft-bearded heads at such behavior.  I suppose that’s why there’s no Emperor Ming-ette or Ghengis Connie  or  (hey, stop me if I am going on too much with this…there is a point in this here Post here… if I write enough words I will come upon it. I know I will.

I got it now!!  I don’t think it’s my dissatisfaction with my efforts to take what is known about the Wakefield Doctrine and turn it into a book. At least I don’t think it is… well, maybe a little. It’s just that all the parts are there…it sits in my head every day and…and even when I am not writing about the Doctrine, someone like Cyndi or Terrye or Melanie or Janine or Amy or Jen or Kristi (newest addition to the blogroll!) or Denise or Stephanie or even the Progenitor roger will write a Comment that makes me see more of the Doctrine (more uses, more insights, more wisdom, more humor, more ways-to-win-an-argument, more ways-to-get-lucky, more skills for career advancement, more insights into the behavior of our: spouse/the kids/the boss/the ex/the new beau/the cop standing next to your car;  there just seems to be no end to the ways that this perspective on human nature can be used for… and I know that I can create something that people, other than you ‘Readers-with-minds-like-steel-traps and hearts-like-good-natured-bears’ can read and understand and be glad you bought the book.

ok…guess I am done:

• complaining ( did you know that most clarks don’t believe that they complain…even when we do?)
• rambling on (the clark in me enjoys the end product of a Post like this, but hates the thought of how….odd it reads)  (the roger in me  probably is basking in the sense of heart-feltedness this may ‘read…) (the scott?  don’t ask lol)
• seeing my thoughts ‘on paper’
• being uncomfortable about not being able to write a Post, I will now proceed to be uncomfortable about the Reader response lol

Enough… maybe  video tomorrow!

…stay tuned yo
