Arroe Collins View From The Writing Instrument

I’m always asking questions.  The fun begins when you start researching for answers. Such as…   Why is being late for work, a party, a funeral or wedding acceptable behavior?  Plus…in this modern age of having so much technology is the average person ready for a dooms day event?   I’m Arroe…  I am a daily writer.  A silent wolf.  I stand on the sidelines and do nothing but watch, listen study then activate.  I call it The Daily Mess.  A chronological walk through an everyday world.  Yes, it’s my morning writing.  As a receiver of thoughts and ideas, we as people ten...

From the heart of "mossy, briny, piss-colored" 1970s Times Square to the heights of MTV News and the A&R suites of Atlantic Records, Tim Sommer has lived a dozen lives in the service of music. Dispatches From the Kingdom of Outsiders is a defiant, soulful map of the ephemeral nation built by the lonely and the weird young people who found their first true home in a Sex Pistols 45 or a picture of David Bowie. Part memoir, part high-octane cultural criticism, this collection documents a vanished era when knowledge was precious currency and a T-shirt was a flare sent up...

-Missed Opportunity- I love sharing conversations.  Hosting requires show prep.  My podcasting platforms feature thousands of guests.  What you don’t have access to are the missed opportunities. The show prep was completed.  The conversation didn’t happen.  I keep all my notes! Paths will cross again.  Let me explain Missed Opportunity.  It’s my questions and statements without their answers.  I’m leaving open enough space at the end of each question hoping they’ll download the talk and insert their answers.Missed Opportunity is a lost piece of history.  Like a message in a bottle tossed out to sea. I hope to loca...

Caught in the center of a classic southern tropical storm. Three inches of hard pouring wet and the land has decided to shift. It didn't stop us from entering the forest. To study everything including the leaves of a tree to pine needles and more importantly the animals. Everything living creation was happy except for the human. We tend to always complain about rain.

I’m always asking questions.  The fun begins when you start researching for answers.

It's completely natural to pull off what you're sharing as the self-guided tour of an adventure. It's based on facts not the full layout as it happened. I learn that trick every day when I go back and fact check myself. Ooops I did it again. Based on not always right on. When you share it enough times you begin to believe that's really what you did and are.

Her story reads like a movie. The perfect life. The perfect marriage.

Celebrating my 33rd year of marriage.  I was shocked to learn I've been an authentic daily writer for 32 of those years.  How weird am I?  Plus babies!  The ins outs twists spins and journey and then you meet me in a grocery store and I want to shove a pen in your writing hand.  You aren't a great listener in any thing you do unless you are writing daily in a journal.  Listening starts with you.  Damn it!  Now you won't listen to this!  Crap!

Podcasts hosted by celebrities. I remember the days when the thought of someone of fame taking the time to pull off such a weekly thing was beneath their presence. Now, it's an open field for them to get paid great money to endorse a product but are they connect with who really counts? Where is the listener in this adventure to get paid to talk?
