I may just start some non-sense yarn about singing carpet lint, reckless chickens or rainbow colored bowling pins. It doesn't matter what it is, the writing is the thing. Writing about anything at all frees up my imagination and kick starts the process.
For me the more difficult thing is trying to make a story I'm done with, become just a couple of thousand words longer. Paring down and cleaning up is easier than building up.(less)

Terrorists, cowards, and why they do the things they do.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again.
Only cowards target helpless unarmed people. Terrorism has just reared its ugly head again. This time in New Zealand. A mosque was attacked by an inti-immigration group with ties to white supremacists. At least 49 people were murdered and the same number injured.
We’ve had similar attacks here and around the world, including churches in Egypt, synagogues in Read more of this blog post »

George Orwell
“We sleep soundly in our beds, because rough men stand ready in the night to do violence on those who would harm us"
Orwell cited Kipling's phrase "making mock of uniforms that guard you while you sleep" (Kipling, Tommy), and further noted that Kipling's "grasp of function, of who protects whom, is very sound. He sees clearly that men can be highly civilized only while other men, inevitably less civilized, are there to guard and feed them." (1942)”
George Orwell
