I warned you this was coming: My National Novel Writing Month project this year is going to be a non-fiction work examining American -Isms.
I've already done the introductory chapter, and starting into the first -ism I want to examine: Liberalism (you may remember when I bashed Conservatism on this blog awhile ago that I argued Liberalism was the primary ideology of our nation, and that Conservatism a reaction against that).
So I will not be blogging extensively this month. I need to focus on this project (and get one DONE for once!). I do have two other book projects on hand to finish up as well: I need cover artists, dammit!
If I do blog here this November, it will have to be in response to a major breaking news item like oh donald trump pleading GUILTY on one of his 91 criminal indictments.
Good luck on your writing projects, y'all. NOW GET TO TYPING!!!
The Institute for Supply Management? That was the first result of a Google search for ism.
ReplyDeletePrisms are nice. Anyway, good luck with the project, and good luck with getting time to do it; the news has been crazy for a while now.

Doug, you might want to put a hyphen in front of -ism, that should work.

Dammit, the corporations have taken over EVERYthing.
I'm at 8000 words right now, mostly getting into the Declaration of Independence as a liberal document. I hope to get some research and writing done in a few days when I make a day-long trip to UFlorida.
