“Sometimes, the words spoken of those having come before, should be listened to, and perhaps, if possible to be adapted to one’s own life.” Gun Roswell
“Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts”
Winston Churchill

I just published my new author page on WordPress: Gun Roswell
Lots of “coming soon” stuff over there, as I sort of jumped the gun, pun intended, before even one book has been launched. But they are all written so, soon, promise! And hey, one has to start somewhere, right!? Self promotion and all that jazz!
Blurb:
“Welcome to my page of books, stories, poetry and yes, even a podcast or few (which is on the menu for later). There is sci-fi, action, crime investigation, romance, sometimes explicit, often times general kind of themes and well, some odd stuff too. But, all the stories of mine feature strong women/women types in them, always.”

A lottery number?
You may have won!
No, not in this mode
Just fall back to slumber
Nothing too cryptic
Nothing remotely close to apocalyptic
But, a date of some importance
At least for where I take my stance
Today, turning fifty one
Feeling, like a phaser on stun
Pardon the Star Trek pun
Being La Gun, is still lots of fun
So:
Happy Birthday to me-ee!

I’d never write at all”

Two Year Anniversary on WordPress
Today, it has been two years since I started my blog Rantings of a Third Kind here on WordPress.
“A poem a day keeps the shrink at bay”, is a great guideline to follow and it is has been working for me at least!
My advice, in case you asked, to all you bloggers and wanna be writers out there, is to set yourself some time aside each day and if nothing else, pour your mind flow onto the paper or as it is in these modern days, in bits and bytes. I know this may sound like cliched advice, but it’s better to force yourself to a routine of writing rather than postponing it for one reason or another. I know there are always excuses as to why not, but in the end, if you have a passion for writing, the excuse are just that – excuses. And do not be afraid to publish, good or bad, it’s all good in the end.

Who is Gun Roswell?
The year was nineteen sixty eight
Life still at stage wait
I must have been no more
Than three years of age
Little Red Riding Hood
Yes, I knew I could
In the borrowed red elf’s hat
Cutest thing you ever saw
Prettiest princess of them all
How could I ever top that!
Now, forty seven years later
Oh life, you’re such a traitor!
I still love red of course
Now I wear it with horns
In the mighty stiletto heels
Life is as good as it feels
Posted in the Throwback Thursday weekly series
Poetry, photography, humour, travel, tales and things that nature!
“When in Rhyme do as the Rhymers do” Gun Roswell
The Gun Rap
My name is Gun
I am a lot of fun
Some call me ‘Nilla
I am here to chilla
Here are some facts
Seven to be exact
Guess that is the most
You’ll find about this host
I am a wannabe writer
And maybe a little brighter
Than you might think
While you let that sink
I will continue my rant
In the form of this chant
Even though I really can’t
Sing, dance or ant?
“What? Ant? That is not a verb!”
“I was trying to rhyme -erb”
“If you can’t rhyme, stay out of the kitchen”
“Why are you so bitchen?”
“Enough with the rhyme!”
“Fine! Now gimme a dime and lets get back to the rap!”
The three letters
Best defining my efforts
Photography, Poetry
And P…
“Oops, can’t say that out loud on television <smirks>!”
“We’re not on television! This is a written blog you dumbass!”
“Hey, you said ass! That is mighty sass of you!”
“Argh! I give up!”
“Great, now back to the rap!”
Well, the last of the three
Is for me to know and for thee
To find out
Oh, do not pout!
I am a non-smoker
And I like to play poker
No just kidding
Seemed more fitting
Now to end this rap
I had to fill the gap
And already told you more
Than I intended for
Word!
