“Do you know any of these guys (characters) in this book?”
Ann Edall-Robson Author, Photographer, Lover of Life "Capturing moments others may never get to experience." |
Growing up, life, and events happened because they just did. As I got older, I had a different take on that thought, and every so often something would filter through my day creating a déjà vu moment. I maybe shrugged this off, but it got archived somewhere in the grey matter for future reference. ![]() I was twelve years old the first time I read the trilogy by Richmond P. Hobson Jr. — a.k.a. Rich Hobson. Book one, Grass Beyond the Mountains took place some thirty years before I opened the cover. It didn’t take me long to grasp that I knew some parts of the country the setting was established in. Some would say it was in our so-called backyard. And how cool was it that he passed through our area to get to his destination. Naming towns along the way that were part of my life. At that age, what I wasn’t acquainted with were the people in the book. Who better to talk to than someone I presumed knew everything, and maybe everyone…my dad. I did most of the talking and dad would nod, and occasionally answer a question or two that I threw out there, like: “Do you know any of these guys (characters) in this book?” View Original Post 562 more words.

Normally, when you see my name and the words Carrot Ranch, you link them to the 99Word flash fiction stories I write. This week, however, I have had the pleasure of joining this literary community as a guest columnist.

Recently, something happened quite by accident, sort of, at least it started out that way . . . It was a busy week. Appointments, a pop-up book signing event, office duties, travel, accounting (ugh), and a wonderful overnight stay at our favourite B & B. Each morning, something that is part of my daily schedule is to peruse my emails. I know, what’s so unusual about that, we all do it, right? But, what I found myself doing was scanning for notifications from people I knew and glossing over, without opening, newsletters and other bits of information I have signed up to receive. I didn’t even delete them or file them for later. I just left them there accumulating to almost a point of no return, almost! A decision had to be made. Leave well enough alone and let all of this mail arrive without opening it and ultimately hitting the read later (which I don’t seem to get around to doing), or just delete (which seems to be the norm). The other option is to do some serious house cleaning by unsubscribing to a bunch this mail. The latter is the most realistic because let’s face it, if I keep getting them and not bother opening them, they are considered of no use to me, so why bother wasting the time of having them arrive? Perhaps, at one time, the writer of these daily, weekly and monthly notices was of interest to me because of projects I was working on or general data they provided. What seems normal in all of this, is if I have moved on, so should they. Today must be the day to start spring cleaning. The sun is shining, it’s too cold to be wandering around outside and since I can now see about 60% of my desk after purging and filing stuff away, it must be the day to clear out the emails. How do you keep on top of the emails, subscriptions or otherwise, in your inbox? Here are a few more inbox thoughts. Ann Edall-Robson
