There’s going to be a lot of talk in the coming weeks about the Golden Age of Space. Here’s a contribution of mine from the summer of 2017. (From left to right, the author, Wayne, Marcus) When I was in about the first grade, we would make “spatter paintings,” where one places a leaf or some other object on a blank piece of construction paper and runs a toothbrush dipped in tempera paint across a screen above the paper. The intent, if not always the result, was to produce a uniformly speckled background around a blank silhouette of the leaf, or whatever. I am willing to bet, that of all my classmates, I am the only one who went on to do it professionally. (See Panel 1)

Peace,
About romance novels, I always think I have read them before!
Having said that I have known people who wrote these for a living and sold them. Yes, I know we have an author’s husband on here.
It’s a popular genre!
Elaine wrote some neat light verse, but no novels that I know of. Peace,
My wife’s dream is to have her book as a Hallmark movie. One of her writing friends has had a couple made into movies and the writer has had a few cameos in the films. However most of the movies are formulaic. We have joked about creating a drinking game predicting when things will happen. For example, the interrupted kiss about mid-way through the movie. Or with about 15-20 minutes to go, something comes up and the couple breakup of almost break up.
However, I actually enjoy many of them as usually have happy endings. After watching Hollyweird mess up so many movies, I prefer the happy endings. And occasionally there is a twist that makes a profound point. I remember reading one of my wife’s books that did that and she was thrilled with my reaction.
