Dickens and DVDs

I wanted to post a link for the Dickens Challenge site, where if you wanted to see all of the work together at one place, you could do so.

I've really enjoyed working on this project, and it's been very inspiring to me to read everyone elses's work as we progress along. I'ts one of those things that makes you want to shout from the rooftops, "Step away from that videogame. Exit that chatroom. Turn off that TV. Go start a writing project!" If everyone was working on a writing project, the world would be a happier place. This, I believe.

And I am going to start writing more in my blogs here again. I was thinking that I would like to write at least one post a week in http://weledger.typepad.com/dvdsandme/, a blog mostly about DVDs that I have watched, but I also veer into movies, sometimes films, and TV, or in present day, the land of syndication I sure hope the writers get their just compensation soon.  Someday, i hope to write again in my music blog, http://weledger.typepad.com/driving_in_my_car/, but that one you really have to listen and think. Who has time for that?

Wendy, I've really enjoyed the DC too -- although it is surprisingly difficult to explain to other people why it's been so positive. I am enjoying your work so much and I'm glad you'll be posting more non-DC thoughts on your blog. I look forward to them. Happy New Year!

Thank you, Lisa. Happy New Year! Best wishes to you in 2008.

Wendy,

When you wrote This, I believe, I was reminded of the NPR series "This I Believe," that revived the series CBS had in the Fifties. Maybe you ought to send NPR an essay on how you believe in writing projects. It makes more sense than some of the "This I Believe" essays. I, too, am enjoying the Dickens Challenge, even though I'm spending a lot of time doing research on First Century Gnosticism, the 1968 presidential campaign, and even the Cardiff Giant. I'm lookimg forward to your next chapter.

Best wishes for the new year.

thanks, Steve. I listen to a lot of public radio, and when that phrase came out, it made me smile. I'm looking forward to reading your next chapters, too. 1968 was such an interesting time.
