What is everybody doing on September 24th? Can we hit Hillcrest that morning? Wouldn't it be nice to stop talking about it and actually DO something together? HUH????

A good definition of today's typical postmodern American:
"...Promiscuous knowers, flitting from one bit of information to another, with no fidelity to an overarching worldview." (Habits of The High Tech Heart; Quentin J. Shultze)

I'm halfway through a book that every single Hourglassian absolutely must without exception read. It is called No Plot? No Problem! A Low-Stress, High-Velocity Guide to Writing a Novel in 30 Days. Its main point is that the main thing writers lack is not a plot or characters or structure or a theme or settings, but a deadline. I think I agree with him. Learn more at NaNoWriMo.
I'm going to do it. I don't know when, but soon.

"If you listen to most contemporary Christian music, you would think that all Christians do is worship and evangelize; of course, if you listen to Top 40 radio, you would think that all people do is fall in and out of love. but it seems that one reason why so many Christians pay little attention to Christian music is that they are already firm in the faith and they don't need to be evagelized."--William D. romanowski; Eyes Wide Open.
Novel thought. Write music that speak to people about right where they are at and about what they need. May we write music and literature that provokes Christians, not cause them to run away.
