WRITING: Flaws will bloom when deadlines loom
With the reading period within a day of ending for many of the literary journals, I’m frantically reading, reading and rewriting a story that just showed up in my brain a couple days ago. It seems I put a good … Continue reading
EDUCATION & WRITING: Congratulations!
To Mary Ellen for winning a prize on one of her excellent short stories. She will be receiving recognition on Honors Day at Trinity College (Hartford, CT).
WRITING: Titles, Phrases, Concepts
Sometimes the weirdest words set themselves up for story. This morning, a title: “Memories of My Mother On The Pill” is banging around inside my head. Just before I discard it, leaving it here to wallow in its own wacked-out … Continue reading

WRITING & BLOGGING: The Perennial Question
Yeah, it’s been a while, but I’m again starting to ask myself “Why bother?” prompted by lack of response (gotta find that Mark Bernstein post on why comments on blogs are not a great idea) but stirred to think more … Continue reading
WRITING: What and When and Why
Noticed the obvious outpouring of poetic reaction of late–and especially today–and decided to recategorize my dabblings into another category of POETRY rather than STORIES. Tedious, but I have found that categorization is one of the blessings of the mind of … Continue reading

CURRENT AFFAIRS & WRITING: Showing vs. Telling
We get several local weeklies and in going through one this morning, I see a story unfold that is more personal, more poignant than the news on TV, the internet, or big newspaper articles. It is the story of the … Continue reading

REALITY & WRITING: Editing
Uh-oh. It seems that my sharpened eye has leaked into my ear and I find myself finding the flaws with tv shows and commercials. Just saw the Hallmark talking card ad: a woman, surrounded by her family at a dinner … Continue reading
EDUCATION & WRITING: More Good News!
While I think I’ve neglected to properly acknowledge the accomplishments of Carolyn in getting into a special writing program at Vassar, I’d like to congratulate her now along with a big hip-hooray for Mary Ellen and her achievement of acceptance … Continue reading
WRITING: Also caught this…
… in the local The Valley Press, from a writeup on an event: …, a native of South Carolina, has written scores for musicals that have been produced in London, New York and other cities in between.” Ahah! They must … Continue reading

WRITING: Thrilled to Announce…
…the publication of Steve Ersinghaus‘ new hypertext Poem, That Night, in the 10th Anniversary issue of Drunken Boat. Congratulations to a fine poet and friend.
WRITING: Tunxis Writers Festival (Correction)
Evidently, despite what the website notes and information received, the 6th Annual Tunxis Writers Festival is open to the public and it looks to be an interesting and informative day for writers. Here’s the schedule: Tunxis Community College – 271 … Continue reading

WRITING: Update on Writers Conference
Usually I check links immediately but it was taken right off the flyer–unfortunately, it was wrong and I’ve corrected it in the post and here, for the Wesleyan Writers Conference. In checking, I happened to notice that there’s some nice … Continue reading
HYPERTEXT & WRITING: Relative?
Very disappointed to see that not only is hypertext or any other form of new media not represented at the Tunxis Writers Festival this year, but that the public is not being offered the ability to attend this community college … Continue reading
WRITING: Writers Conference
Got the flyer in the mail the other day on the Wesleyan Writers Conference which is scheduled for June 14th-19th this summer. It appears that there are a couple of new speakers and instructors and I’m sure it will be … Continue reading
