CGI in “The Call of the Wild”

Written by lindasummersea on February 21st, 2020March 14th, 2020. Leave a comment

I am somewhat embarrassed to admit that I was unaware that the animals in The Call of the Wild are CGI until I was a few minutes into the film. Computer-Generated Images. Had I known, I doubt that I would have gone to see The Call of the Wild yesterday. I like my animals living […]

To Post or Not to Post

Written by lindasummersea on February 21st, 2020February 21st, 2020. Leave a comment

The fact that my blogging has diminished to a trickle hasn’t escaped my notice. The reason that my blogging has diminished to a trickle is not so obvious. I think most writers can understand my dilemma. In the academic world, “publish or perish” is king. Or queen. In the world of an independent writer seeking […]

The Prodigal Writer Returns

Written by lindasummersea on September 18th, 2019September 18th, 2019. Leave a comment

I know. I know. The date on my previous post is embarrassing. I had a rough spring. Uncertainty and doubt. Then I ran away to Mongolia in June. Well, not exactly “ran away”. In June 2018, I received an email from Australia’s Intrepid Travel—an email that had been sent out to those Intrepid travelers who […]

Your Phobia, My Joy

Written by lindasummersea on March 22nd, 2019March 22nd, 2019. Leave a comment

This morning I was reading a piece in The New York Times about three friends embarking on a 7-day kayaking trip in the wilds of Alaska*. On Day 1, within minutes of being dropped off, a whale spouts offshore, close enough for gleeful joy or absolute fear—depending upon your response to large mammals in close […]

Linda 2.0

Written by lindasummersea on January 26th, 2019January 31st, 2019. Leave a comment

Today is my anniversary. It was precisely one year ago today that an IV drip began to dose me with the anesthesia that would propel me into a seven-hour surgery. A team composed of two oncology surgeons, an anesthesiologist, and ER nurses worked together to eradicate my breast cancer and put me back together again. […]

On the Steamship Finland

Written by lindasummersea on January 15th, 2019January 26th, 2019. Leave a comment

“Babci! Can I have a cup of tea?” I skipped into the kitchen and plopped into a chair at the kitchen window. From upstairs, I had watched Dziadzia heading across the lawn to the barn where he would milk the cows.“Yah,” said Babci. She opened the upper cupboard for tea cups and tea bags, then […]

A Comedy of Errors

Written by lindasummersea on January 7th, 2019January 9th, 2019. 2 Comments

Back story: I’ve been coming to Belize from time to time for 30 years. In 1989, there was no electric power cable under the sea from the mainland to this island. Electricity was supplied by a humongous generator in town that hummed like a sleeping giant. It shook itself awake periodically, knocking out the power, […]

The Piano

Written by lindasummersea on November 16th, 2018January 26th, 2019. 4 Comments

During my childhood, I was allowed to visit a classmate after school precisely two times. Two different classmates. Two different years. Two different reasons why I was never allowed to go there again. In 4th grade, I received an invitation from a classmate named Judy. She had been my kindergarten comrade and confidant, and we […]

Winter is Coming

Written by lindasummersea on October 22nd, 2018January 26th, 2019. Leave a comment

The fog is thick this morning, surrounding us in a soft blanket of grey, creeping close and closer still, cloaking the shrubs, disguising the gardens. The fog horn has blown all night long at intervals as regular as breath. In and out, in and out, in and out. I sync my breathing, pull up the […]

Running

Written by lindasummersea on September 16th, 2018September 16th, 2018. Leave a comment

I haven’t followed the sport of running in recent years, but this morning’s profile of Eliud Kipchoge in The New York Times caught my eye and I was only too happy to have it interfere with my writing frustrations. Eliud Kipchoge is the greatest marathoner ever. He broke a world record in Berlin this morning. […]
