heath quinn: Prepping for NaNoWriMo 2012
http://heathquinn.blogspot.com/2012/07/prepping-for-nanowrimo-2012.html
Creative planning, thoughts and more. Prepping for NaNoWriMo 2012. This November, I will do NaNoWriMo. 2012 It will be NaNoWriMo try three for me. November is a month of busyness, and, in the Northern hemisphere, a month of change, with a sun that's more angular. Yet because of all this, November's not a good month to take on a marathon writing project. In my two past NaNoWriMo attempts, my efforts would go dead by November 10th, leaving me in a down state suffused with sensations of embarrassment an...

heath quinn: Early summer education, 16 June 2013
http://heathquinn.blogspot.com/2013/06/early-summer-education-16-june-2013.html
Creative planning, thoughts and more. Early summer education, 16 June 2013. As I didn't finish Manon Lescaut in time to complete a required analytical essay, I won't earn a certificate of completion for the class. But the lectures and readings are wonderful, so I'll continue with the class. I did five peer reviews for the previous week's writing assignment. Behind the scenes in archaeology. Art concepts and techniques. Fantasy, science fiction and the mind. This is a purely voluntary effort, and it's mos...

Creative planning, thoughts and more. Early summer education, 9 June 2013. The wall collapse emergency settled down last night (see 8 June), though there were still times when posses of fire engines came roaring through the neighborhood, and sometimes the news helicopters returned. I was able to do classwork yesterday afternoon and evening. After a few hours sleep, work continued through the night into today's early morning. Fantasy, science fiction and the mind. Art concepts and techniques. I've done th...

Creative planning, thoughts and more. He was proud and secretive, and died early therefore. Pride kept his head too high. Secrecy shrouded the corrections that realities bring to the fantastical mind. He tripped, thought he was OK, and found, too late, that he was wrong. (viz. HL). Baptized, by wind.

heath quinn: Autumn 2013
http://heathquinn.blogspot.com/2013/09/autumn-2013.html
Creative planning, thoughts and more. One of the craziest things I've ever done was try to take six Coursera classes at the same time. I signed up this past spring in a fit of exuberance — university level courses available online, free! 8212; and ignorance — online and free means denatured, I thought. The classes were a challenge. They hammered my available time, will and experience. The MOOC. Offered by U. Pittsburg's Jennifer Zoltners Sherer, Pam Goldman and Lauren B. Resnick. To quiet my mind and inc...

heath quinn: The Edit
http://heathquinn.blogspot.com/2013/08/the-edit.html
Creative planning, thoughts and more. It started when I shared my last week's short story. With my son. He said it was overwritten. After he kindly highlighted the overwritten parts for me, it was clear that he was right. A dose of objectivity from a trusted source is always refreshing. In this case, it was revolutionary. My son uncovered a wider-than-expected gap between what I want to say, and how I say it. He showed me there's more work to do, if I'm to learn to edit well. From the Gezari article.

heath quinn: Prescriptive
http://heathquinn.blogspot.com/2011/10/prescriptive.html
Creative planning, thoughts and more. If happiness is honey, tickly-thick. Enough to make you choke,. If happiness is wine, a smooth swallow. And a short-lived high,. If you're defended against joy,. And now you're breathing faint for want of it,. The remedy is to take happiness anyway. You already know life will trip you up. And slap your smile away - don't. Give it an assist. If your secret is that joy's a fleeting presence,. If you don't like loss, and you know. The remedy is to catch it, even so.

Creative planning, thoughts and more. Early summer education, 8 June 2013. I'm taking four Coursera classes. The two that seem most important are: fantasy, science fiction and the mind; and art concepts and techniques. Already the classes are paying off, with new knowledge about the class subjects, and better understanding of myself. Frontispiece of first volume. Of Grimms' Kinder- und. Listening to fantasy/science fiction class lectures, then doing the first week's readings ( Grimm's Fairy Tales. Listen...

http://heather-songs-of-my-life.blogspot.com/2008/03/bas-ek-pal.html
Songs of my life. Respect to songwriters and performers! Saturday, March 01, 2008. Bas Ek Pal / बस एक पल. Looking for Bas Ek Pal translated to English? Try the Bollywhat.com Lyrics Forum. Tu ek baar jo pyar se mujhko chu le toh har zakhm bhar jayega. Zara iltejah sunke deewane dil ki mujhe apane dil se laga. Jala hai yeh dil. Yeh aankhen hui nam. Hamare khayalon mein khwaabon mein yaadon mein baaton mein rehte ho tum. Badhake main yeh haath chuna jo chahu toh pal bhar mein hote ho gum. Jala hai yeh dil.
