Finishing off The Great Courses

 I did quite a good job with the free week of The Great Courses last week. After, flipping-out over the CONVIDIAN commie rubbish of the second course of The Black Death, where I watched all but two lessons before giving up expecting to learn anything, I loved The Celtic World and How to Publish Your Book. Finished both of those, then went on to watch all of 1066 about The Norman Conquest. Like The Celtic World that was also Jennifer Paxton and very informative. I've had a few teachers of her cailbre but not many. I still had a few hours to spare last night so, like The Paleolithic and Indus Valley, I caught a few lessons from different courses that seemed interesting: The Secret Societies, The Ancient Mystery Cults and Aleister Crowley, and Mythologies: Celtic. The Secret Societies covered Robert Sepehr's 1666 about The New World Order baby eating commies. I didn't know Crowley was a spy. I've never been a fan. He also discussed Madame Blavatsky, only not in a very good light. He made her out to be a commie, too. These lessons were alright. The Celtic Mythology lesson was okay, but I didn't really learn anything. I suppose there just aren't a lot of records since The Druids memorized everything. Suppose I've got to tap into my secret subconscious if I want to discover anything new about the ancient Celts. 

Jane Friedman's Book

 Just four lessons left. Ron said it must've been hard, but it's not. I find her very interesting and informative. I'll pick up the book when I've caught up. Lost count of all the books I'm currently reading, and The Aurora Teagarden Omnibus #1 came today. I also have a Betta book on it's way, not The Betta Bible as people are complaining about the fighting in that. I don't blame them. Felix would rip them all up, but Mars is a lover. Nearly up to self publishing. 

How To Publish Your Book

Enjoying The Great Courses afterall. You never know. 

How to Publish Your Book

 I'm up to lesson fourteen of twenty-four of The Great Courses: How To Publish Your Book. Although with a MFA in English I've had all sorts of writing courses, this deals only with the business end of things, where most artists are sorely lacking, so I find it very informative. I'm going to watch all of the lessons before the free week runs out. The teacher is not at all uppity and doesn't stray from the topic with nonsense like CONVID and climate change. I'd tried two other lessons with a couple of men, one on The Paleolithic and the other on The Indus Valley Civilization. I think the Paleolithic guy might have been an Aussie and was just making stuff up. The other guy looked like a monkeyball player from Green Bay. He was alright, but not like his other lectures captured my attention. They seemed like same stuff different day to a documentary buff like me.
