Christopher Ingraham – Washington Post: “I ordered a box of crickets…”

This story is too fun: “I ordered a box of crickets from the Internet and it went about as well as you’d expect,” by Christopher Ingraham December 29, 2018 in the Washington Post. Find it here: https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2018/12/29/i-ordered-box-crickets-internet-it-went-about-well-youd-expect/?utm_term=.a0a393b763f6 

“For Christmas this year, my family adopted a young bearded dragon lizard as a pet.

“Our dragon, whom we named Holly, eats a lot, and the thing she loves to eat most is crickets (typically about 10 a day, in addition to other things like mealworms and vegetables). From the get-go, I knew that keeping an ample supply of crickets on hand would require some planning. We live in a rural area of northwestern Minnesota. The closest pet shop is an hour away, in North Dakota. Restocking our cricket supply would require a time commitment of at least two hours out and back.

“By Christmas Day this year, Holly’s cricket supply was running low. I decided to order crickets online, which I had never done before, to save a trip to North Dakota. I bought the crickets from Fluker Farms, one of the more well-established online insect vendors (yes, these exist and there are a lot of them). I decided on a shipment of 250 crickets …” Read much more here: https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2018/12/29/i-ordered-box-crickets-internet-it-went-about-well-youd-expect/?utm_term=.a0a393b763f6

The Oct. 1, 1910 bombing of the Los Angeles Times killed 21 people

The Oct. 1, 1910 bombing of the Los Angeles Times killed 21

people

In its recent newsletter, the Society of Professional Journalists
has taken the opportunity to remind us about the Oct. 1, 1910 bombing of the Los Angeles Times building.

The 1910 bombing of the Los Angeles Times has been the
subject of books and film. By CAROLINA A. MIRANDA SEP 22, 2017 http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/arts/miranda/la-et-cam-esotouric-los-angeles-times-bombing-20170922-story.html

The weapon: 16 sticks of dynamite and a windup alarm clock.

The target: The old Los Angeles Times building, an 1886
brick-and-granite edifice known as "the fortress," on Broadway and
First Street, across the street from where The Times is located today.

The bomber: J.B. McNamara, who was linked to an ironworkers
union that ordered the attack — part of a radical bombing campaign to go after
anti-union strongholds in the early days of the 20th century.

Twenty-one people died in the early hours of Oct. 1, 1910,
when the explosive device ripped an entire wing off The Times building. A night
editor and a telegraph operator were among the dead, and dozens of others were
wounded and maimed. A report published in The Times two days after the incident
described the scene as an "awful pit of death."

Heralded as the "crime of the century," the
bombing has been the subject of books (such as "Deadly
Times" by Lew Irwin) and it has figured in documentaries (Peter Jones'
"Inventing L.A.: The Chandlers and Their Times").

I have been a freelancer since 2004

I have been a freelancer since 2004, 2,000 stories later, I am still trudging along. It is a life my wife and agreed upon. Fortunately, she has a good job – and she knew she was marrying an artist and a writer… I do not have to eat at soup kitchens, but I keep a list at the ready. In the end, I would not have it any other way. I love my life. I love to write. Thanks for writing this story. The glass is always half-full and every sentence ends with a semi-colon at the ready.

Ray Bradbury: Many people hear voices

“Many people hear voices when no one is there.

“Some of them are called ‘mad’ and are shut up in rooms where they stare at the walls all day.

Others are called ‘writers” and they do pretty much the same thing. Attributed to Ray Bradbury.

“The Belle Jar:” talks about writing…

“The Belle Jar:” talks about writing…

“The Belle Jar.” Riveting. https://twitter.com/traceylien

Be double sure to read her article from Nov. 24, 2015, titled, “I Published a Goddamn Book.” In this piece she talks about writing…

“Writing is just work. Talent is great, but painful truth is that talent can only get you so far. The rest is work – and usually not even particularly interesting work. Mostly it’s the kind of work where you’re stuck dragging a fine-toothed comb over and over through the same sentence, trying to unsnarl those harebrained nouns and verbs and adjectives into something that makes some kind of sense.” Written by the author of the website, “The Belle Jar.” http://bellejar.ca/

Specifically she refers to an “essay that Betty Smith, the author of A Tree Grows in Brooklyn, wrote while she was attending college classes at the University of Michigan. It’s called ‘I Want to Write!’ …”

Please read her stuff here and here:

“I often think about an essay that Betty Smith, the author of A Tree Grows in Brooklyn, wrote while she was attending college classes at the University of Michigan. It’s called “I Want to Write!” and sadly I can’t find it anywhere online, so I can’t link you to the full text. To give you an idea of what her situation was like, I should mention that she wasn’t actually enrolled at the university, but rather was auditing classes while her husband was a student in another department. In spite of the fact that Smith hadn’t finished high school and had two small children, she managed to convince several of the professors to let her sit in on their creative writing classes.

“But as much as Betty Smith wanted to write, she struggled with it in a way that is probably deeply recognizable to anyone else who writes:

“[…] I have my doubtful periods. I am ashamed of the things that I have written in the past. I am ashamed of the things I wrote last month. But when I wrote them, I thought that I was inspired. The hardest thing to bear is the sneaking knowledge that in a year or two from now, I shall be heartily ashamed of the things I am writing now. Still —?

The cruelest thing about this desire to write, is the hopeless hope that it engenders. Deep down in my heart, I know that I shall never get anywhere in this writing business. But who can tell? Sometime, tomorrow even, someone may find something marvellous in the things that I write.

[…]

Some years ago, I decided to be sensible and to put all this writing foolishness aside. Other events crowded close; anther life opened for me. I married, had two babies, other interest, other ties. I wrote nothing for eight years.

Eight years? But I am lying. I have forgotten my friend. As a relaxation from the cares of the children and the house, I formed the habit of writing to a mythical friend. I wrote about everything, and wrote and wrote and wrote! Then I mailed the letters in the waste basket.

Now I have come back to my first love. I frankly admit that I am writing again. I hate it and I love it. It is labour. It is travail. But it is the most fascinating thing in the world.”

“When I think of Betty Smith, I think of a writer who was gifted beyond anything I could ever imagine…

“And yet while she was writing it, Smith never felt like a writer. She felt like someone who was wasting her time; someone whose first drafts stunk; someone whose time would have been better employed playing with her children or cleaning her house.”

I love #6… #5 is also really important. But #4 has always made me wonder.

Is there anything else to add?

The image is attributed to www.writerswrite.co.za. A big thanks to www.writerswrite.co.za - which is, fascinatingly enough, a website that offers writing classes in South Africa. What a great idea. Sign me up for a class. And btw, the website is really good. Check it out.

May 7, 2015 Kevin E. Dayhoff - It was 100 years ago that our nation’s literary, cultural and artistic community mourned the death of Elbert Green Hubbard, June 19, 1856 - May 7, 1915, an American philosopher, artist, and writer.

He died on the RMS Lusitania on May 7, 1915, when the ship was sunk by the Germans off the coast of Ireland.

He is well-known for publishing two satirical and witty magazines, “The Philistine,” and “The Fra.”

In addition to remembering him for his quotes, I remember him best as the author of “A Message to Garcia.” One of my favorite quotes is by Mr. Hubbard: “God will not look you over for medals degrees or diplomas, but for scars.”

Not to be overlooked was the not too insignificant matter that he was federally prosecuted and subsequently convicted on January 11, 1913, for circulating "objectionable" matter in violation of the postal laws - - every writer’s nightmare who fears the consequences of writing material that government officials deem not in line with the official viewpoint of the government at the time. Fortunately he received a pardon by President Woodrow Wilson.

Mr. Hubbard is also known for his actions onboard the Lusitania on May 7, 1915, after the ship was struck by a torpedo.

According to a letter written to his son, Elbert Hubbard II dated March 12, 1916, by Ernest C. Cowper, a survivor of the sinking of the Lusitania, found in the papers of Mr. Hubbard collected by the "Elbert Hubbard Papers Manuscript Group #17" at the Indiana University of Pennsylvania; page 3 and 4:

“I cannot say specifically where your father and Mrs. Hubbard were when the torpedoes hit, but I can tell you just what happened after that. They emerged from their room, which was on the port side of the vessel, and came on to the boat-deck. Neither appeared perturbed in the least. Your father and Mrs. Hubbard linked arms—the fashion in which they always walked the deck—and stood apparently wondering what to do. I passed him with a baby which I was taking to a lifeboat when he said, 'Well, Jack, they have got us. They are a damn sight worse than I ever thought they were.'

“They did not move very far away from where they originally stood. As I moved to the other side of the ship, in preparation for a jump when the right moment came, I called to him, 'What are you going to do?' and he just shook his head, while Mrs. Hubbard smiled and said, 'There does not seem to be anything to do.'

“The expression seemed to produce action on the part of your father, for then he did one of the most dramatic things I ever saw done. He simply turned with Mrs. Hubbard and entered a room on the top deck, the door of which was open, and closed it behind him. It was apparent that his idea was that they should die together, and not risk being parted on going into the water.”
