Gauthic Times: The Bill Gauthier Newsletter #123, or The Chase, the Toothless Lady, and the Plan
Hello, friends. This is going to be a long newsletter because my essay, the final part of “Chased From the Park,” is nearly 3,000 words long. I could’ve broken up into two parts and have had that story be four parts in this newsletter, but I decided to go for it. I hope you don’t…

Question About “Chased From the Park”
Hello, there! I’m working on the park story that I’ve been telling in Gauthic Times and something has happened. When I began, I thought it’d be two parts. As I wrote the second part, I realized I’d need another part and left it with “To be concluded….” Well, I’m about 2,000 words into the third…

Gauthic Times: The Bill Gauthier Newsletter #122, or The Mountain, Bad Boys & the Sharp Half Moon
Hello, friends. If you’ve been following me or reading my diatribes for any length of time, you know that I’m a big Bruce Springsteen fan. His music has guided me through good times and bad, jubilant and horrific. This week, I am so damn proud to be a Springsteen fan. He made news this week…

Gauthic Times: The Bill Gauthier Newsletter #121, or Chased From the Park
Hello, friends. Happy Mother’s Day to those who celebrate! Teacher’s Appreciation was this week and I’d be remiss if I didn’t give appreciation to the teachers I had who left an indelible mark on me and on the colleagues who are making a difference every day. In this time we’re in, though, teachers don’t feel…

Gauthic Times: The Bill Gauthier Newsletter #120, or Exhaustion Seeps
Hello, friends. May the 4th began as an internet meme from Star Wars fans. Now it’s a Thing, embraced by The Powers That Be for reasons of selling Star Wars toys and things. And I’m there for it. Sorry, you probably thought I was going to go into an anti-capitalist tirade that exploits nostalgia and…

Gauthic Times: The Bill Gauthier Newsletter #119, or The Pathway to Adventure
Hello, friends. Remember back in February how good I felt at the end of vacation? I worked hours and hours on the revising of a novel and got to feel like a full-time writer. I’d hoped for something similar this past week. It didn’t happen. Some of it was things that needed doing around the…

Gauthic Times: The Bill Gauthier Newsletter #118, or Symbols of Hope
Hello, friends. You ever have the feeling that everything’s unraveling and there’s no way to stop it, but when you try to find evidence of the unraveling, you can’t find any? I mean, globally (or nationally), yeah, it’s coming apart. I’m talking on a more personal level. There’s a feeling that’s something’s coming undone but…

Gauthic Times: The Bill Gauthier Newsletter #117, or Singin’ in the Pain
Hello, friends. If you’re a faithful subscriber to Gauthic Times, you may have noticed this is late. If you’re like me and only have a tenuous grasp on time, then you may not have noticed that this newsletter is a day late, in which case this whole opening is a waste of time. But here…

Gauthic Times: The Bill Gauthier Newsletter #116, or A Break in the Armor
Hello, friends. This week the day job was a shitshow. Well, two days were bad. Dealing with people can be tough and it took everything I had to get through. Funny enough, on the two days where the shit really had its say, I also got some good news. One wasn’t really news so much…

Gauthic Times: The Bill Gauthier Newsletter #115, or The Courage to Create
Hello, friends. I took my father to another appointment this week, which meant an afternoon of work on the book and lots of sleeping. It’s kind of crazy how tired I get lately. It’s likely the depression as well as the other things going on as an overweight middle-age guy. The week itself seemed pretty…
