WRITING: WORK OR HOBBY OR IT IS ALL IN THE RELATIONSHIP

In order to show that writing is not a hobby, I have come up with a list. …

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

WRITERS JUSTIFICATION THAT THEY ARE CONSIDERED IMPORTANT

I feel carpal tunnel syndrome coming on.
My hands hurt when I press the keyboard.
Oh no, a paper cut!
Why do I have to use this long definition when several smaller words would do?
Looking through all those research books with that small print hurts my eyes
I put out my back lifting those heavy encyclopedias.
The small print on my computer screen stains my eyes.
I want to clean the house, go out, but there is this guy with a whip…

The Danger of Political Correctness

What are dangers in political correctness? The Nazis were scum; we all know that. They killed six million Jews. What about the Japanese in World War 11? They put people in prison camps; they worked British soldiers to death. They interred European families in concentration camps who were barely fed enough to survive. Yet we have movies and television shows too numerous to mention about Ayran groups and barely a whisper about a Japanese former commander who was being hunted by a son or relative whose father, grandfather, mother, et cetera died in one of those internment camps. No to write a drama about that, or a mystery story, would be politically incorrect. The Orient has the wisdom of Confucious, non-violence and such! Do not make us look bad!

Now you get a reason why those Cambodians died in the Killing Fields, the Iraqis and formerly Iranians exterminated ethnic groups other than their own, and the Serbs massacred Bosnians, Albanians, et cetera and no one took much notice until it was too late. Why it is as clear as the nose on your face. They were not Nazis, the predecessors of that evil White Man.

Let me continue. The Bible did not say, "Come all ye blessed African Amercans, Native Americans, Chinese, Vietnamese and other ethnic groups, enter ye into the joy of your Lord." nor did it say, "Depart all ye evil white men, into the fire reserved for the devil and his angels.", but the politically correct people would like to think so.

THE EVIL WHITE MAN

You are Lee Ching, who formerly ran the Tong in Asia.
You put your enemies to death by various tortures.
You are an expert in martial arts. Men fear you. You have amassed great wealth.
And now that you are in America, you are regarded as a weak worthless worm.
You need an evil White Man now to oversee your activities.


THE MORAL AFRICAN AMERICAN
You are an Anglo Saxon of Scottish descent, have always attended the Presbyterian Church,
have raised your children in the faith, none of your kids have been in any trouble.
Now you move to America,
but as soon as their foot steps on American soil, your kids go wild.
So who do you need in your hour of desperation?
Who else but the Moral African American



THE WISE ORIENTAL

You are a professor at the University,
you even double as a brain surgeon in your spare time,
You have solved numerous problems,
But suddenly you are told, that your solutions are not feasible.
What do you do?
You ask for the Wise Oriental.

POLITICALLY CORRECT MEDIA HIRING ADVICE

Hire someone not on their talent but either because they are of a certain race, they have a disability, or are of a certain perceived persecuted group.
It is sad to say that many companies and countries have now taken that advice. True that the people they hire may have good qualifications, but they were not hired because of that. It is more a statement that "Our company does what it can to make the Cree, Assinboine, etc. (I live in Manitoba, and these are two of the Native
American tribes that live there.)feel good. I work for a nice company" or in America, the statement is "We are not racists," because they hire people who are non-white."
The danger is that they hire because they want a quota so it looks nice. In Manitoba, there is a campaign to hire a disabled person because they are nice. Well you are supposed to hire a person because he or she can do their job and are qualified, not because they can only get around in a wheelchair. That wheelchair does not magically make them qualified to do the accounting, that being in Manitoba University and getting their degree in accounting does. Sure hire someone who has something wrong with him, but do not hire on account of sympathy, just hire because he hs the best person for the job.

COMPUTERS, WOMEN, AND POLITICAL CORRECTNESS

Many women are scared of computers. No, I am not talking about the ones that go to University and sit in those programming and business classes, nor the female geeks who find it easy to rattle off C++ and such with their eyes closed. I mean women who have sons and husbands using the computers. It is as if there was a sign saying, "You who were formerly eachers, nurse, dress designers, secretaries, office workers, or other professions, you must give up your computer, except for e-mail, to be a full time homemaker, because for you it is now a time waster. You must also not be able to go on the Internet because it is now so complicated for you." The Internet is not evil, but some sites are evil, pornographic, and harmful, especially to children, although I know adults who are terrified of these sites, not because of temptation, but it makes them sick. The purveyors of evil would love to drive off all the decent people. They do it in many ways, by sending messages telling one to go to a site, by numerous pop up windows, by taking advantage of a person making a mistake in typing the URL. However, there are numerous good sites where you can get home making information, recipes, patterns, health hints. There are Christian sites, sites about the Bible, and several Churches have their own web sites.

Now for you men out there. Please let your wife use the computer. You can make a list together of what sites you would allow your children to see. I have my own personal motives for writing this. Every time you say the Internet is evil, you let the ones who would show inappropriate so called adult sites wrestle more of the Internet from you.

I read that at the Swissair Memorial Service, the Christian ministers were not allowed to speak the name of Christ. All the others could mention Buddha, Allah, and what not. This is wrong. It is an insult to God and to the Christian community. This is political correctness

WRITING

Forget those writers who came from privileged backgrounds who said their family were against it, but still I write and right now my book is on the best seller list. Family disapproval does not mean anything unless they can do something about it.

If you had to work or did not get the proper education and decided now "I am going my University or GED and become a writer," unless those in your household steal your money, throw your typewriter or computer out the window, lock the computer so you cannot get it, hide your writing utensils, or do anything physical to prevent you from acquiring your goal, there is no excuse. You may have to keep the home in order and be reasonably neat so they can see writing is not a time waster. What I am saying is threatening words spoken on empty air do not mean anything unless accompanied by blows.

All right now we got down to the mean opposition, what about the subtle examples. Let me name a few.

You are a Japanese wife. You have been told, don't bring dishonor on our family name. You know that your grandfather was a guard in one of those prison camps. You feel you must tell a fictionalized story of World War 11 but if you do, your family will disown you.

The best idea has come to you! Ah that is the correct phrase, the way the heroine looks at the villain. I have to write it down or type it on the computer. Your son or daughter have taken all your pens and pencils, and "you know who" has to use the computer to type out that special report even though he had all week to do it. It has to be done this moment.

You have finished the best game of solitaire, and unknown to you, your partner sneaks in, watches, leaves, and goes out about his business. You start to write on your short story and only then does he say, 'what about supper?'. You think this is isolated, so you choose another time, but no matter what time as soon as you write a couple of words or get as far as a sentence, yours truly does the interruption thing.

You belong to a religious organization who says fiction story writing is lying,

I think the ones who are doing this opposing should ask themselves, "Were you proud of your grandfather torturing all those people?" "Why did you choose this particular time to use the computer, and why did you not have those writing instruments handy? " How do you expect your wife to improve her writing if she does not get enough time to write a paragraph? Do you want her to be, perhaps, senile? Will taking care of a woman in her old age who is devoid of her mental facilities make you happy? " "How do you know if the so called fiction writing is a lie or not?" Remember those movie credits with "any resemblance to any persons living or dead is truly coincidental?"

What is the result of this opposition? For one thing, your novel or short story will take longer to send out. It costs more. You may have to buy the file cabinets, book cases, and other essentials out of your own pocket, not to mention books on writing. There are people who still believe that reading is a luxury and because of this many potential authors go unnoticed; many an unpublished story lies hidden in a dresser drawer.
