Wright, Right, Write and Rite Now

When I first started the website and created the blog, I wanted to call it something pithy. I thought about naming it “Right Now,” after Van Halen’s song released in 1992. The song is as poignant today as it was 21 years ago, and I figured, like the video and the song, I could capitalize on some of the thought provoking issues of today that are happening “Right Now.”

(Remember the video, and the lyrics… brilliant.)

But the play on words, “Write Now” seemed even more creative, and I changed it to reflect the word write -- because after all, that is what I was planning to do.

It seemed sort of trite though. I figured it was not unique and that others had certainly come before me and thought of the idea. (I was correct in my assumption.) So I searched, and it seemed an even better word came to the forefront – the word Wright.

When I thought about the word Wright, the first thing that came to mind was the Wright Brothers in North Carolina—First in Flight and Kitty Hawk and all those things we learned about in grade school.

But, here is the actual definition of the word. “The word wright is from an Old English word meaning worker or maker. A wheelwright makes wheels. A shipwright makes ships or boats. The word is more common now in a literary sense. One who writes plays is a playwright."

So I changed it to "Wright Now." That is who I am. I am a worker -- making, creating, building and implementing.

It was the right move to embark on a rite of passage by writing my blog “Wright Now.”
