InSanity Clauses: National Novel Writing Month and I'm slipping into Act II (of three) -- that means building conflict, and revealation of character(s).

Media Watch: I haven't said much about NFL Football this year. I took time to watch the Patriots duke it out with the Superbowl Champion Colts last week. New England beat the champs, and Indianapolis took another beating from San Diego when I looked-in earlier -- too many intercepted passes.
Montana PBS is playing a lot of Tangerine Dream tonight -- excellent novel-writing music (hint).



November 11 is Veterans (Armistice) Day, and to honor the spirit of the tragic War To End All Wars, here are two views of Ida Rubinstein, High Patroness of this blog. (Right) FANTASY Ida as femme fatale Zobeide in Ballet Russes' Scheherazade in 1910, and (Left) REAL Ida, spending her time, and part of her significant fortune, running a hospital in Paris during WWI. She would later nurse French soldiers in England during WWII. Madame Rubinstein was awarded the Legion of Honor for her devotion to her adopted country. The troops she helped remembered Ida long after she was forgotten by most of the theatrical world.
