Broken Link Screen Shot: ‘Mary Sue’

I nabbed this screen shot from the

Internet Wayback Machine, for another broken link I’ve found within the

August 7, 2006 post entitled:  “Mary-Sue Litmus Test.”  Originally this link explained what a “Mary Sue” is, and how it came to be. 

When I start churning out fiction, I hope I don’t create any “Mary Sues” or any “Gary Stus.”  Unless that is the whole point of the story.  >:D

Screen Shot for broken link: Original Fiction Mary-Sue Litmus Test

Good evening. 

Here is a screen shot for an old link which I posted on my August 7, 2006:  “Mary-Sue Litmus Test” entry of this blog.  I nabbed it from the Internet Wayback Machine.  The title of this page was, “The Original Fiction Mary Sue Litmus Test.” 

It gave a brief introduction about why you would want to check to see if you’ve created a Mary Sue character, and how to take the litmus test.  After scoring your answers to the questions, your character could be: 

1. an “anti-sue” —the very antithesis of a Mary Sue. 
2. a “non-sue” —a well developed balanced person. 
3. a “borderline-sue” —cutting it close. 
4. a “mary-sue” —needs work to be believeable (paraphrase). 
5. an “uber-sue” —might not be salvageable (paraphrase). 
6. an “irredeemable-sue” —start over (paraphrase). 

If memory serves, I chose to answer the questions using Anita Blake who is an “uber-sue” on the litmus test. 

Screenshot for an Outdated Link

Good morning. 

This is a screenshot of an outdated link on my blog post for August 31, 2006.  Essentially, the author of this post, shares my distaste for bugs, and why they must die:  They give me the heebie-jeebies.  My skin crawls just talking about it. 

Quick Screenshot of an Outdated Link

Good morning. 

This is a screen shot I nabbed from the Internet Wayback Machine. 

The original link is no longer valid.  Therefore, I’m offering this brief snapshot of the original post I linked to in my August 31, 2006 post instead of trying to find another link that explains exactly why the “Anonymous Lawyer” was both completely entertaining, and completely horrible at the same time. 

I’ve included the entire address in red at the top of the screen shot.  It is not clickable because it is part of the graphic that is the screenshot.  In short, “Ernie the Lawyer,” explains how he met the creator of “Anonymous Lawyer,” Jeremy Blachman, what he thought of him (liked him immensely), and why he thought the fictional blog was so compelling to everyone who read it. 

If you clicked on my link for “Anonymous Lawyer,” then you already know that the blog is frozen:  meaning you can still look at it, but it is no longer updated, and most likely will not be updated in the forseeable future. 

This is too cute to not share:

I could watch this all day.

Yet Another Apology ;)

Good evening. 

I notice that it has been a while since I last posted, and once again, I apologize for my tardiness.  Although RL has a way with putting road-blocks in front of me, I am determined to keep writing here until it no longer possible for me to do so (which I’m sure will be not for quite some time). 

Hopefully, making checklists will help me keep on track this year.  :) 

Happy Holidays! Definitely the best time of the year to think about ... (cont'd)

(cont'd) ... being spiritual. I've only captured a portion of Ms. Paul's message. I hope you take an opportunity to read the entire article, to understand her idea.

Peace.

What Does it Mean to be Spiritual? People often confuse spirituality with religion. People can be both religious and spiritual, but it is also possible to be religious without being spiritual, or to be spiritual without being religious. Discover the difference in this article.

By Margaret Paul

Being a spiritual person is synonymous with being a person whose highest priority is to be loving to oneself and others. A spiritual person cares about people, animals, and the planet. A spiritual person knows that we are all one, and consciously attempts to honor this oneness. A spiritual person is a kind person.

My experience of God is that God is the energy of Love that created us and sustains us. In my experience, "God is Spirit" (John 4:24) and "God is love" (1 John 4:16). Anything that is not of love, peace, joy, truth and kindness is not of God. Praying to God does not mean that you are allowing the spirit that is God - the love, peace, joy, truth and kindness that is God - to guide your thoughts and actions. Practicing yoga or meditating does not mean that you have invited the love that is God into your heart, or that you are turning to that ever-present love to learn about what is in your highest good, and the highest good of others and the planet.

For Oil Paintings

I’ve been studying my artist blogroll, and I’m amazed by the creative drive each artist has, especially those who take the time to create oil paintings.  I love it when artists like robh (to be fair, he hasn’t posted any oil paintings in a while, but he does do them) or Michael Manley post their oil paintings which, to me, look and feel vivid, fresh and exciting.  In fact, they make me feel like I want to try my hand at oil painting again.  :) 

Once I’ve completed my commitment to NaNoWriMo , we shall see.  :)
