There’s so much…

May 10, 2023 / Scott Varengo / Leave a comment

So much more going on than I could ever have imagined in all my many years of imagining. It's enlightening in the sort of way your elders hoped you never would be. It hurts to be brought to this realization (I know better instinctively than to call it "understanding") but what's to come can be … Continue reading There’s so much…

Smiles and Tears

January 24, 2023 / Scott Varengo / 5 Comments

I. Introduction I used to smile more. I don't know that there was a significant change in the number of tears I've shed, but they were nonetheless different. A good deal of the difference no doubt relates to the injuries and other medical dookie I've gone through in the past year. Those who follow me … Continue reading Smiles and Tears

It’s Just Nuts

November 16, 2022 / Scott Varengo / Leave a comment

I consider myself a fairly even-keeled guy. That could come across as a brag, I suppose, and perhaps it's been said for just that purpose. I don't know, because I haven't monitored every phrase spoken during my lifetime, and those prior to but that were not written about, well those may have never happened or … Continue reading It’s Just Nuts

Times of Doubt

October 14, 2022 / Scott Varengo / 1 Comment

There are indeed times when I distrust myself, my choices. I look around me and see only evidence of my inadequacy, indeed my own foolishness. I can find not one scrap of a hint of a partial clue that I am worth the ink in my fountain pen. And if at one point or another … Continue reading Times of Doubt

I’m goin’ down…

September 25, 2022 / Scott Varengo / Leave a comment

...down, down, down, down, down. - Freddy King, "Going Down" There are far worse things if you've decided to make your living as a blues musician than to have the last name King. You can ask Albert, (not really a King, shhh,) or B.B. (a real King). You can even tell everyone your name is, … Continue reading I’m goin’ down…

Two Notebooks

January 5, 2021 / Scott Varengo / Leave a comment

They're really nothing special to look at. In fact I probably haven't opened them more than a handful of times in the past 34 or so years. I mentioned the older of the two to a couple of friends not too long ago, it's the one with the unsightly stain of unknown origin. The newer … Continue reading Two Notebooks

NaNoWriMo 2020

November 8, 2020 / Scott Varengo / Leave a comment

The relationship between Billy Martin and George Steinbrenner is legendary. It has been the subject of books and television documentaries, and during the period when it was happening, it was the subject of sports news pages on a regular basis. This pair of pictures seems to portray the Love/Hate nature of the relationship nicely. Same … Continue reading NaNoWriMo 2020

Sensational

October 28, 2020 / Scott Varengo / Leave a comment

This pic gave me elementary school flashbacks. It's not particularly late. I think it has just turned midnight as I began typing this sentence. I used to stay up much later than this to write, sometimes until the sun started to insinuate itself around the edges of my window coverings which, though I measured twice, … Continue reading Sensational

The First of the Last

October 17, 2020 / Scott Varengo / Leave a comment

July 2, 2020 at 1:48 in the morning. According my best friend and arch nemesis, Microsoft Word, that is when I wrote the first sentence of the first chapter of my current endeavor, a novel called Three Witches. Today, October 17, 2020 at 3:27 in the afternoon I wrote the first word of the final … Continue reading The First of the Last

Focus

July 28, 2020July 28, 2020 / Scott Varengo / Leave a comment

I am in awe of this guy's (gal's) concentration. One of the things, as a writer, that causes me the most distress is my monumental lack of focus. I recently wrote a post that dealt with the things I do prior to getting ready to write for the day. A large portion of that preparatory … Continue reading Focus
