In 17th century England many thinking people kept a record of the valuable information they found in the course of their reading. They collected quotes, stories, charts and other useful bits information in what was called a commonplace book. This information became a valuabe source of creativity and insight, as these meaningful bits information were re-read, catagorized, and reflected upon.
This blog is my commonplace book. A place for everything - like it says in the subtitle. I do not expect that this information - as varied and scattered as it is - will be of any interest to anyone except my self. If however, you choose to have a look around and find that you share a common interest with me - feel free to comment.
Here you will find:
- Quotations from chapters in various books or articles.
- Stories, fables, parables, illustrations.
- Charts, Videos, Audio demonstrating various things
- Ideas and Outlines for writing projects
- Catagorizing of Quotations by Theme
