Cursed
the Children's hospital. It was the best hospital in the state;
everyone told Kelsey how the doctors would be able to get her son well.
Still as she stood there, she felt anything but lucky. The cool night
air blew past her making her oily dirty hair fall in strands over her
tear-stained face. She hadn't bathed in days or changed her clothes,
not that it mattered anyway. She had no family and the few friends she
did have, she… Continue

I have a road trip, of sorts, ahead of me in a few hours. A zig-zag across the transit system of Chicago. I’m heading up north, but first I have to take the 55th Street bus to an artist friend’s place and drop off a few autographed books. There is [...]
The Ritual of Fine-Tuning My Writing
Most writers I know have rituals. These run the gamut from adjusting their desks a certain way to writing by candlelight to setting a glass of perfectly innocent booze on fire before each writing project as a sacrifice to the Writing Ancestors. They may sound silly, or wasteful (perfectly good booze, after all) or unintuitive, [...]
Thanksgiving
Friends and relatives around he world sing the same song: “We don’t have Thanksgiving here.” Here is New Zealand, South Africa, England, Israel…and on and on. This year, because we are down to three of us—my guardian angel/chef and one friend who lives alone—I stopped to think about what that means.
“We don’t have [...]
In love as it is in war
I promised some friends (and students) that I would talk about how one goes about writing a successful sex scene. There are a lot of theories about this–one school, for example, believes that a successful sex scene should titillate. (Do they believe a successful dinner scene should make you hungry? I write my dinner scenes [...]
“genre vs literary” in the days of the Technorenaissance
1
I was hanging out in a writer’s forum and came across the age-old question of how do you define genre and literary? which always turns into genre vs literary: genre types bash the literati for lacking plot (which is absurd), while the literati bash the genre-ati for lacking everything else (equally absurd).
One person [...]

I just scanned the IM thingy and saw you were suffering from writer's block. While it's easy to just quote the Oliver Stone equation for writing (ass + seat), here's an old trick my prof taught me.
Get a harsh beverage. Not necessarily your favorite, just harsh. Do a quick shot. (If you don't drink alcohol, something bitter will do)
Then immediately answer this question. There is a thin hallway. At the end of the hallway is all the gold in the world. Jewels. Bundles of cash. All yours.
What is the ONE thing that would be between you and that payoff to make you say 'Screw it! I ain't going down there!'?
Now write your horror story. Don't think. Just write.
Hope that helps!

I am slow getting back to you. I will turn on the torum/groups.
And it's not that I forgot about Valentine's Day. I didn't. I was just waiting to tell you Happy Valentine's Day until the day after so that it'd seem EXTRA special.
Really. ;)
