I'm reading a great little one (part of a series, I believe, but I got it at a thrift store) called, "The Art of Time in Fiction" by Joan Silber. It is excellent!<br />I picked up Stephen King's book on writing a little while ago and am anxious to read that as well.<br />Also have a tome by Jane Smiley that I got at Chapters in the remainders for ONE DOLLAR! and last week at Goodwill I came across a mint textbook for a NY schools Masters in Creative Writing course. I have done well. Now it's finding the time to read them. (I keep important books in the bathroom, since as we age we spend more and more time in there, don't we?)<br /><br />KatKat Mortensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16877694888419628533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15937405.post-64190049085269545352009-12-05T11:50:09.901-08:002009-12-05T11:50:09.901-08:00Nice day for staring out at the scenery as you too...Nice day for staring out at the scenery as you toodled across the strait, too. Mountains were clearly visible. So lovely.<br /><br />About that suitcase - you definitely need to underpack to leave room for books. :)RLM Cooperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15218851852114927602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15937405.post-39679247925511417982009-12-04T21:01:58.657-08:002009-12-04T21:01:58.657-08:00Chef E - Which website is that?Chef E - Which website is that?Sandra Leighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12052047359365369942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15937405.post-31039422676160698522009-12-04T19:43:55.860-08:002009-12-04T19:43:55.860-08:00I found a great website also that gave me some ins...I found a great website also that gave me some inspiration for writing, as well as a few poet friends we call each other and bounce things off each other.

My visit was a wonderful break from the NaNo slog - and seeing Angel May is always a pleasure.<br /><br />Sara, I don't think anybody knows where to start, except to sit down in front of the computer (notebook?) and start writing. One of my favourite mentors is Natalie Goldberg. I recommend her "Writing Down the Bones" for inspiration and instruction.<br /><br />Angel May, I'll be right there.Sandra Leighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12052047359365369942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15937405.post-92192720745086476682009-12-04T11:40:20.537-08:002009-12-04T11:40:20.537-08:00There is something on my blog for you, Sandra.
