Chuck Fensch has too many thoughts and observations

Man, I miss creativity in the workplace. Been a while since I’ve felt it.

Is anyone there? Does anyone care?

I used to believe in the goodness of people. Today, I’m not so sure.

Heart and humanity matters. I will always remember that.

My longtime friend, John, was a good man. A sweet soul with a tough exterior, but a caring heart that seems to be lost to many today. I miss you, John.

The rain shower today has made my plants happy. And that makes me happy.

It’s incredible the privilege that people have, simply by being at the right place at the right time, or bottling their emotions in to please others. I’ve tried so hard. I guess I’m born to lose.

Nothing like having your life turned upside down for the worse at a time you’re already vulnerable. Whatever happened to compassion?

Unless you're an educator, I couldn't care less if you have a college degree in a creative field. My mentor had a degree in biology; he never took a single class on how to write or think creatively. He just had it. Great ideas. Wit. A knack for persuasion. Everything he wrote made you feel something. While I have a college degree in journalism, my best work is due to my insatiable curiosity and desire to share a story.  A degree never comes into play.  The best writers I've known are about great ideas far more than technical skill. A story just throbs in their brain and roars out like a raging wildfire.  Give me that. any day.
