And, the first "pebble" has just been posted to my website.<br />
<br />
Before getting to that, however, I've also posted a page of explanation, disclaimers, and other pertinent info, which you'll need to read first... <a href="http://artistinsane.com/mad-ravings-on/mad-ravings-on-television/sliding-stones-an-outlander-what-if" target="_blank">Sliding Stones -- An Outlander 'What If?'</a><br />
<br />
You'll find a link to the first <a href="http://artistinsane.com/mad-ravings-on/mad-ravings-on-television/sliding-stones-an-outlander-what-if/pebble-1-the-solid-rock" target="_blank">pebble</a> at the bottom of that page.<br />
<br />
I hope you enjoy it! And, if not -- remember, it's only a "Droughtlander" mirage. The real series is available to watch (and rewatch) anytime!<br />
<br />

<br />
Although the piece (which was initially penned for the "Pet Peeves and Paranoia" column of my <i>Mil Mania </i>newsletter, and an excerpt from which was subsequently published in the <i>Mensa Bulletin</i>) discusses events now far from current, the spirit that inspired its writing will surely live on as Roy's legacy, and it's being shared here as both a tribute to him, and a challenge to readers (and myself).<br />

A new chapter (in two parts, as it appeared in the newsletter) has just been added this evening. More will be coming soon, so check the "<a href="http://artistinsane.com/mils-writing/fiction" target="_blank">Fiction</a>" page for these regularly.<br />
<br />
I hope you enjoy it. And, of course, feel free to share your feedback either via <a href="mailto:mil@artistinsane.com" target="_blank">email</a> or the <a href="https://artistinsane.proboards.com/" target="_blank">Random Rants Discussion Board</a>.Milhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09535359797645999348noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8752929.post-68496480975197219842020-02-26T20:06:00.001-08:002020-02-29T15:30:40.438-08:00What's Old Is New AgainAs a completely non-political artist maneuvering my way through a presidential election year (with primary season in full swing) -- and with at least one "old" section of artistinsane.com having recently been resurrected (i.e. the Mad Ravings On reviews mentioned in my last post), I thought it an appropriate time to share yet another "blast from" atistinsane's "past."<br />
<br />
For several years in the mid-2000's, I wrote and published a newsletter called <i>Mil Mania </i>(sent to subscribers via email)<i>. </i>As you'll see from this sample, it routinely included a mix of news, fiction, reviews, poetry and essays. Some of the essays were humorous, some serious, and some honestly expressed my thoughts on various topics -- which brings me to the reason I'm sharing the particular issue linked here.<br />
<br />
As you'll see, this issue's "Temporary Insanity" column (middle of the right side) is about the subject of politics and art. As you'll also see, it was written in 2007 -- the year the smartphone debuted, incidentally (which has since exponentially increased the "information available ad nauseum" the article mentions) -- but as the title of this post implies, it could easily have just been penned today.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://artistinsane.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/Mil_Mania-3-07-print-reformatted-for-2020.pdf" target="_blank">Mil Mania -- March-April 2007 Issue</a><br />
<br />
P.S. The story "Of Julie and Better Men" under "<a href="http://artistinsane.com/mils-writing/fiction" target="_blank">Fiction</a>" in the "Mil's Writing" section of artistinsane.com is, in fact, the Prologue to the <a href="http://artistinsane.com/mils-writing/fiction/the-leap-to-limbo-tentative-title-novelette-prequel-to-taking-the-fall" target="_blank">novelette</a> that was serialized in the "Writings From the Asylum" column of <i>Mil Mania</i>, a chapter of which is also included in the above issue.<br />
<br />

Now you can check out my reviews of great (and not so great... and sometimes maybe abysmal) films in the <a href="http://artistinsane.com/mad-ravings-on" target="_blank">Mad Ravings On</a> section, added just today!<br /><br />The first entry is a discovery so fantastic it actually inspired Mad Ravings On's return. Go read it now -- and then, go watch the film!<br /><br />More entries (some new, some from the old Mad Ravings On page) will be added in the days ahead.

children's books. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Within the 32 page
format standard for young readers, Sharon Winters manages to deftly fit not
only a wealth of facts about the lives, characteristics and challenges of
desert rodents, but also introduces a character filled with insecurities,
longings and fears individuals of every species (and age) can relate to. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div style="border-image: none;">
<br /></div>
<div style="border-image: none;">
As the youngest
of seven desert rat children, Leilani is ridiculed for her small size and
inability to measure up to her siblings' achievements.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But, in seeking refuge against a close call
that turns her frustrations into all-out fear, Leilani happens upon a new
friend, who helps her understand that being short on physical attributes
doesn't make her short on value -- and that a little patience and belief can
spark truly amazing growth. <br /></div>
<div style="border-image: none;">
Though an
acknowledgement tells us the book was written for <st1:city w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Sharon</st1:place></st1:city>'s youngest granddaughter (who shares
her name with the title character), it presents a warm and touching story of
universal appeal. Beautifully augmented by simply styled drawings that clearly portray
Leilani's emotions and environment, the author's words inspire readers to wish
along with "Runtie" that her dreams of growing as big, strong -- and
fast -- as her older brothers and sisters might be fulfilled, and to revel in
the whimsical resolution that changes her life by leaps and bounds. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"><br /><br />Get your copy of Runtie the Desert Rat <a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/1537261045/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_ep_dp_JmXuyb63EQA70" target="_blank">here.</a></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; punctuation-wrap: simple;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-font-kerning: 14.0pt;">When you learn a friend has written a book, and it at last becomes available for reading, it makes one's heart skip a beat -- first out of joy for her accomplishment... and then the potential moral dilemma of "What if I don't like it? What do I say? How do I maintain my integrity <em>and</em> my friendship?" </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; punctuation-wrap: simple;">

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-font-kerning: 14.0pt;">Well, a friend of mine <em>has </em>written a book -- which became available only a few weeks ago. I naturally bought a copy immediately, and with eagerness, and yes, a bit of fear, the evening it arrived I (took a deep breath and) dug right in. Thankfully, within moments my fears melted away -- even though, I'll admit here that I most definitely didn't like it. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; punctuation-wrap: simple;">

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-font-kerning: 14.0pt;">I loved it. Truly. Completely. Regardless if it had been written by a longtime friend, or one I was just getting to know upon its pages. With that in mind, it wasn't long after finishing it before my typing fingers made their way to amazon.com to give it a hugely enthusiastic five star review -- one that was completely honest, and which I hoped might encourage other readers to give it a try. With that in mind, I'm sharing the review here as well, because this book is just something far too good to keep to myself. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; punctuation-wrap: simple;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-font-kerning: 14.0pt;">It's hard to believe how much one can learn while having so much fun—an
observation that could be applied to both readers and the author of this warm
and engaging memoir. Inviting us to tag along as trusted friends, Sharon
Winters guides her audience through the adjustments of living in a foreign
land, one with both a complex language and distinct set of customs. Far from
letting these challenges weigh her down, Sharon faces them with wit and charm,
relying equally on her own resourceful nature and the kindness of strangers who
quickly become family.<br />
<br />
Detailing a two year stay in Shanghai, Sharon intersperses daily experiences
with fascinating insights into the history and culture of the region, its
people, and her own Buddhist faith. In the process, she makes plain the reasons
Mandarin is considered one of the most difficult languages for Americans to
learn, while proving that humor and humanity are universal bridge builders.
Whether standing by her side as she bargains for paintings and pearls or seated
with her at restaurants serving dishes sure to shock any Western diner, we
delight in Sharon's victories and sigh with her in relief as she steers away
from pitfalls. Most of all, we echo her wonder and joy as she unfolds to us a
foreign city that indeed comes to feel very much like home.<br />
<br />
I have to say I enjoyed this book so much that I approached the last few pages
with trepidation, bracing myself for the inevitable sweet sorrow of being
parted with a place and people I'd so enjoyed getting to know. But this, too,
Sharon handled with her now accustomed spirit of friendship and comfort,
allowing me to turn the final page and quietly utter the word <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">zaijian</i>, "I will see you
again." Whether in a second volume I very much hope Sharon is considering,
or through re-reading this one, that's a promise I'm sure to keep, and an
acquaintance I already look forward to renewing.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
