  EK's Writing Blog — Authority: 133
  Writing in 2nd Person POV [quote=stelmariacookie]My story this year takes place largely in dream sequences, so Ive been playing around with writing some scenes in 2nd person present tense. Im finding it to be very awkward for dialog. Does anyone have some good examples of 2nd person dialog? Are any of you ...

  Game Tree diagram of The Mystery of Chimney Rock. You’re sitting at your desk at work. It’s another typical Monday: the kids overslept, you spilled your coffee and had to rush home for a change of clothes, and your e-mail inbox is going to take an hour to slog through. Oh, and you’ve got another mind-numbing ...

  EK's Star Log — Authority: 133
  So, I flew through to 50k without any trouble, mostly because I was writing very fast with out stopping to think about where my plot was heading. I just wrote the first thing that popped into my head. As a result I now have a ton of random not really connected scenes, involving 3 kids [...]

  if you want kin, you must plant kin ... — Authority: 420
  I just can’t seem to get it out of my throat, you know?  After my angry rant about The New York Times’  shocking discovery of Michelle Obama’s white ancestry, I thought I’d be able to shut up a bit, at least for a few minutes.  As if.  I was over at Michelle Obama Watch and [...]

  Danido Crafty — Authority: 114
  I’ve been designing hats this week. 2 to be exact. I’ve also got mittens on the brain since it’s kind of chilly in my car in the mornings now and I was thinking that I really needed mittens on my way to class the other day. So, hats and mittens. That’s what is on the design board for this week. Hat patterns ...

  Tonight is quite chilly, enough for me to be a bit shivery waiting for the bus home after class, enough for me to pull on my gloves and wish I had a hat.And that’s ok.  It certainly isn’t COLD or anything, but my body isn’t happy with this.  All I can think of is:and of [...]

• Wednesday!

  
  Gerry Canavan — Authority: 484
  Wednesday! * In Galileos time, science was clashing with religion; today, Robinson believes, were living in a "Galilean moment" again, in which climate change means science has become politicised. This time, though, the clash is with capitalism. "There are cultural forces in our society which say, you can save the ...

  For the last two days, I’ve been at Changing the Odds, a conference co-sponsored by Harlem Children’s Zone and PolicyLink.  If I had talked to you about this last week, I’d have been a bit whiny, talking about how I didn’t really feel into it, how I was only going to go for part of [...]

  I’ve written more than once about my hair, even wrote out the saga that ended with my short-short afro so many years ago.  Nowadays, my afro, when I wear it, is Cleopatra Jones , not old-school Rashumba  .  (Couldn’t resist this photo of her with the eternally-gorgeous Beverly Johnson.)When I wrote out my hair ...

  Happy Halloween!  I have always loved Halloween.  I love costumes, candy, spooky business, haunted houses and the general get-outside-yourself-ness that is Halloween.  Then I learned about Day of the Dead … now there is a celebration!  I still haven’t managed to be in Mexico for Dia de los Muertos.  It’s a ...

  You know, as in “home again, home again …”Is it really already a week since I was arguing with AC about whether he would come have dinner and sleep over at my house or if he really expected me to walk the mile and a half in the dark to his place? Only a week since [...]

  EK's Writing Blog — Authority: 133
  More and more my plot seems to be leaning towards YA or maybe even pre-teen. It also did a weird change thing that I did not expect. Okay, so Ive been planning on Jack Frost takes over the world, right? Than I keep thinking that these 3 kids are going to come along and stop him. Great. Next I think, I want to have ...

  Swiss Army Librarian — Authority: 119
  I was sitting next to our Teen Librarian as she was deleting books she’d just weeded from the Young Adult collection. We were kind of joking about the books that didn’t circulate, and also lamenting how important cover art is to teens - if the cover of the book looks dorky or dated, they will not take it out. ...

  So much for my belief that our long separation and only occasional conversation would have the effect of convincing AC that we are, in fact, no longer a couple.  I saw him yesterday for the first time in two years … and he asked me to marry him.I wish I was kidding.I can’t possibly marry [...]
