Been writing other things and not posting. Which is great as I have thought of an ending to a story that has been on the dictaphone for an age now. In those dull moments in meetings I look like I am paying attention and taking notes, oh but I am not not I am plotting the down fall of villains and the rise of heroes. It is the best reason not to have a smart phone or ipad in a meeting. holding a pen and having real paper. means that you are engaged in the meeting in the room an not on the net. or texting but you really are pay attention. but do remember to keep one ear out for what is happening around you. You just have to speak!! Not been caught out yet but you never know.

Reading again for myself, rather than for some project or other reason just for fun. Servant Leadership, Robert K. Greenleaf and Existence David Brin is my breakfast read. At the end of the day I close with Myke Cole, The one about Soldiers and magic and war and other planes of existence. It is beside the bed and I just cannot be bothered to fetch it. Shadow OPs? could be. But I am enjoying it.

Dyslexics are really nice people hire one today. have a great day as I am going to.

I finished reading "I am legend" by Richard Matheson this morning. I wondered why it was called that, now, I know.  I find myself with one question, a thought. Is this were the idea of describing people as legend begins. If so then it is a misunderstanding, as Robert Neville's understanding would place himself as the last of his kind a complete and utter scourge to what is coming next in the development of mankind. I guess that calling someone legend now may carry a different meaning now. Just wonder where it began. But not interested enough to find out.

However a book I ordered has arrived and now I read it Shadow Ops: Control Point by Myke Cole. Started it already!

Dyslexia is a good thing in my life hope it is in yours, have a great day.

so It is not just about reading books sometime it is about having books books that lift and inspire you to be better and sometimes that is just in your own head. There is one place I have not blogged about that is a total wonderful source for books, yes the library. Are you a member of one? I am a member of two different ones. I have set days of the week when I go. Wednesday and Friday library days. it is where I get to test drive books and yes I have found great books and then gone and brought them they were that good. usually they are design books the ones in the upper price range. So anyway as reading to, I am working my "I am legend" what a fabulous bleak book I have not read such brilliant hope stealing words as these in an age, just when it should lift you it brings another level in the pit that Robert Neville is in. I am learning that both the movies based on this story were far to hope filled!! Still some of the pictures are library books some are the ones I bought. Dyslexia is a good thing I like being one. have a good day

So finished Vince Flynn, now moved on to Richard Kadrey one of the black and white books I bought the other day. Half way through that. It is sad to have lost another great writer Ray Bradbury. So the other I am watching Ray Bradbury talking about ideas and writing everyday, those who inspired him. He talked briefly about Poe, and my daughter now wants to find and read some Poe and read in particular, The Raven. It has been found, read then liked. Very much, so I am told so I may have to read it myself. But It set me thinking, where do you find ideas, What do you do? So Here is an idea that I am currently working through, "Troll Beads" Where do they come from? This has lead to the creation of a whole world and everything in it. The first draft go at it was all first person and I don't think I did it very well. I'll post it on the website. Use the link It is called Pencil Boy and the Troll Folders. These are the works of a dyslexic. A Dyslexic who is happy with the world and enjoying it a whole heap. Enjoy your day.

So Mitch Rapp is killing people, in Cyprus, I grew up there. Richard Neville is fighting vampires, and educating himself in The use of microscopes. I am buying some books today I thought I would only buy books that had black and white covers. did fine until I got home  found the post office had delivered the one on colour. Oh well I was just a away to find a books I don't normally read. Not something based in some kind of phobia OCD deal. I am Dyslexic not anything else. Dyslexia is enough to enjoy. Have a good day.

So anyway this is the book what I bought yesterday. Oh and sadness is around Harry Harrison is dead. In respect to his memory, I shall read Bill the Galactic Hero then The Stainless Steel Rat. It will be a pleasure. Go and find anything he has written and remember a life. Dyslexia is just so rocking. Have a good day
I am doing well, today still reading "I am legend" I do like it I am helpless before his fallibility, his desire to live compared to his frustration at a lack of knowledge. I am finally reading a book that has the  best and appropriate use of a library, (won't tell you read the book). Oh I just would like one faithful rendition of a book into some other format. How cool a video game would "I am legend" make where you defeated vampires by being educated rather than brutal. Used a book or books to know things so you win, and played in real time. so it only went as fast as you could. Ohhh no that is real life. So back to real life off to read a book. Found a Vince Flynn I have not read in a second handbook shop that one or I am legend. Or both at the same time. Am I the only one who does that! Dyslexia is really neat, I like it, have a good day.
