Wired Monk Writers 2013; My 'Stroem' inspired by Miranda July.

1/2/2013

Looking forward to seeing the writerlies tomorrow!

Our first 2013 gathering (the year of my cat:) is tomorrow at 7 pm. Check in-boxes for details.

While my 3rd novel's characters keep cavorting and hiding behind curtains (acting all obtuse), I'm focusing on my one-page/morning STROEMS (oh so inventive, I know; they're part story-part poem).

MY FIRST REVISION of July Moments in January

Feel free to critique away!!
Btw, I have to update our writing group meeting schedule. Done ✓

Happy Scribing!

Hi Dina. Like it MUCH better now :-) Feel the last sentence re. nuclear is unnecessary and diluting. Also feel the sentence re. fleches is confusing. Think Jenni should say, But this is not Sherwood Forest. Otherwise me like muchly. Also, thanks for the schedule

Thanks Jenni!
This little exercise of mine--now 4 months in--is starting to remind me of the year you wrote 1 poem/day - mine was meant to keep me focused on writing while my 3rd novel mocked me, but it seems to be taking on a life of its own.

I'm very inspired by the 'laugh, laugh, laugh & then I'm devastated' idea for structure. Definitely discovering that to strike that right chord in written comedy is challenging my 'humerus' bone.

And, I am very grateful for your feedback: THANK-YOU!!

PS If you know of any women who might relate to this idea, please feel free to pass on my name & contact info...

More about me

More about the book I just finished

Why blog? Why write?
My dream: To see all children grow up with dignity, self-esteem and a passion for their dreams.

I've met many children and adults whose dreams and innocence were stolen.

I write for them; I write as one of them.

I try to blog weekly.
Blog topics:
Writing & publishing-related tips for my writerly friends; social justice issues that touch children, adults, trees or threaten our world of future wholesome communities; my experiences navigating the process of living & writing.

Spoiler Alert:
Some days, these may be rants:)

Why TartanFrog?
TartanFrog--a celebratory tip of the hat to the interweaving of my French Acadian roots with the Celtic culture of Cape Breton.
