Writers observe, watch and interpret. Like spies. Part of the fun is enjoying all the wonderful antics and adventures we see all around us. By Friday, everyone needs a laugh. So Quirky Fridays will be part of this blog. Stop in and see my favorite weird and wacky things to give you a smile or maybe a laugh.

To start off this feature, I have to play my all-time favorite YouTube military video. These British lads did it right. To get the “back story” on this video as we say in the writing biz, check out my web site’s favorite video page at http://www.warriortales.com/warriortalestv/favvideos.html  Got a favorite military humor video? Cat video? Let me know about it. Remember, this is a G Rated blog. Have to keep it clean for those young writers too! 

Adventures In Military Writing

Social media can make your head explode.  Facebook just announced another change in format this week. Almost had it figured out. The only constant is change and chaos. I’ve always decided to do my own thing, always have, so life is more fun and interesting that way. In this era of digital publishing everything is up for grabs. I decided several years ago to publish my own work, surrender to ebooks and have more fun.  Social media became a new quest.

First was YouTube movies of my cat and then Twitter to give writing tips. Kicking and screaming I went to Facebook. Now its blog time. I enjoy all 140 characters of Twitter, as a former journalist, I find it a challenge to tell a mini-story within the box.

The Facebook 420 character limit sometimes gets in my way. A lifelong learner, I like to share information and insights about the writing life. Quirky is always  involved.  

A military veteran, photographer and rookie videographer, I consider myself an adventuress. Let’s see what trouble we can all get in with my blog!
