I’M BACK!

Guess who’s back after a long, long hiatus? It’s me, the blogger known as Ordinary Joe!

While my other blog, The Cubby Writers Cubbyhole, is a place for fun and good times without free beer, ice cream, pretzels, and ecdysiasts (fancy word for people who shimmy in the red-light districts) The Glynn Literary Zone is different. Occasionally, I will write on a serious subject that interests me, though I might have a good laugh or two.

Too often in the blogosphere as well as on social media, people have become jerks, loudmouths, Karens, gasbags, and complete A-holes. I will try to write as diplomatically as I possibly can, even though at times I can be the biggest jerk, loudmouth, etc.

Don’t take my opinions too seriously. Sometimes, I disagree with myself a couple of minutes after I write something down on my trusty personal computer. I will be the first to admit that my words are not the greatest words of wisdom since Socrates. I just write ’em like I see ’em.

If you want to get important news from this corner of the literary galaxy, The Glynn Literary Zone is the place to be. Call me a blockhead, but I am just as interested as getting my literary efforts in print as in making some of that filthy green stuff. Of course, I would like to be a best-selling author like Stephen King or John Grisham and make more money than Jeff Bezos. However, I know it is tough for writers to make a buck, and I will be content if I become just one of those hack gentlemanly writers.

When I was a kiddo back in the 1970s (kids, that was back in the days with no Internet, Netflix, smartphones, and TikTok, Heck, it was the days when there was no MTV but people wore polyester leisure suits, had Pet Rocks, did the hustle, and thought The Love Boat was must see TV), I religiously watched Welcome Back, Kotter. I laughed at the antics of Vinnie Barbarino, Juan Epstein, and Arnold Horshack.

Now, it is welcome back to my literary zone, welcome back.

A Thought From the Blog

Don’t think too often.
