Remember that Sean Bean meme those gator-critics Vim & Verve mentioned the other day?

Well, there is actually a “One does not simply…” meme generator. You can find it here.

There are plenty of others at the main link too.

It’s free and easy. Start cranking some out. We need the amusement.

Huge shout-out to www.spaghettimodels.com (on Facebook as Mike’s Weather Page and on Twitter as @tropicalupdate). I recommend following him everywhere you find him.

It’s not necessarily something to help with your writing, but it’s definitely a sanity saver if you live on the coast and see a hurricane heading your way. As was the case this week with Hurricane Isaias.

Mike’s web site is a treasure trove of graphs, charts, and models curated from weather sources. Seriously – this screen grab (below) is showing only a tiny piece of all the site offers.

Mike typically gives live updates on Facebook to explain the different models and charts – and he does it with a dash of humor, which, let’s face it, one can use when the weather gets crazy. He often features his two sidekicks (French bulldogs), Hurricane Louis and Hunter.

 

Here’s something to do while you wait out the pandemic: go tour some of the famous museums around the world from the comfort of your home.

This brilliant idea comes at a time when we could all use some beauty and comfort in our lives. Plus — bonus! — for those of us who write historicals, it’s a great way to brainstorm ideas.

Check out I Write Like.

This is a fun site. Just paste your text into the box and click the Analyze button to see which famous writer your text most closely resembles.

It’s all in good fun – but it can be a subtle boost too. The couple of times I’ve done it, I’ve gotten Arthur Conan Doyle, Dan Brown, Jack London, and John Le Carre’. Not bad. I’ll take a comparison like that.
