Why do ships use “port” and “starboard” instead of “left” and “right?”
I’ve always wanted to know. You too?

How to Grow Up: Nick Cave’s Life-Advice to a 13-Year-Old – The Marginalian
How to harness youth’s centripetal curiosity as a creative force for bettering the world is what Nick Cave — himself an insightful reckoner with the art of growing older — explores in answering a 13-year-old boy’s question about how to live a full, creative, actualized, spiritually rich life in “a world ridden with so much hate, and disconnect.”

Current Quandary
Posted in Writing, tagged #365Ways, #365Ways2023, Thoughts, writing on April 20, 2023| Leave a Comment »
My current quandary: My daily post streak here at the blog has been going, in one form or another, since January 1, 2021. It’s not a long time by some measures, but it’s a long time for me, and I don’t want to break it.
My problem is that I am about to head off to the Writers of the Future workshop. The schedule looks like a wall of ink, with classes and other events scheduled for at least twelve hours a day, most days. Plus reading, plus writing. That leaves not a lot of time for thoughtful posts, or even the quote and a pretty picture kind.
That leaves me with a challenge: Pre-schedule posts, sure, but with what? I toyed with the idea of putting up a serialized version of a story, but that will require more thought than I can give it right now. Instead, I’m going to regale you with a random selection from my “what’s interesting” folder.
I imagine there will be some material on space, writing, art, food and people, all the good stuff. Good news, a lot of it is actually pretty interesting. Enjoy!
