Nietzsche I'm Not: Failure To Succeed Leads To Success
http://carolkrenz.blogspot.com/2012/01/failure-to-succeed-leads-to-success.html
Saturday, January 28, 2012. Failure To Succeed Leads To Success. Lately, I've noticed a lot of blogs and media web sites examining writers and their paths to success or failure. In the past few weeks I've read musings from Anne Lamott. Whose Bird By Bird. Has to be one of the best books about writing I've ever read), Kathryn Stockett. Author of The Help. A Pulitzer-prize winner who discusses the success of failure on CNN's website. Talks about how she sold a brilliant story to the New Yorker. Roughly par...

Nietzsche I'm Not: Agent, Agent, Who's Got an Agent!?
http://carolkrenz.blogspot.com/2011/06/agent-agent-whos-got-agent.html
Saturday, June 25, 2011. Agent, Agent, Who's Got an Agent! I have a problem with that. In fact, I think this is misguided, wishful thinking. But to each his or her own; after all, who am I to judge? Frankly, there are. Some bad books out there, which is another cause for dismay, and belongs to another blog post. Isn't it quite obvious, if after six agents do this, there just might be something not quite right with the work and not the agent? For obvious reasons, this is the advice most ignored. In a ...

Nietzsche I'm Not: Permafrost?
http://carolkrenz.blogspot.com/2014/01/permafrost.html
Tuesday, January 7, 2014. There is something to be said for the swirling Arctic Vortex - unendurabe; a cyclonic mass of frigid air covering the continent in thick bricks of ice, impenetrable walls, intricate stalactites. A New Age that bears no resemblance to mystical incense and tranquilizing tone poems on Pan pipes, Chakras sparkling like the Aurora Borealis, or the gentle aspects of the slightly blemished pear, organically farmed, juicy with pectin and pesticide-free pulp. Under and over the skyline c...

Nietzsche I'm Not: My Eyes (Still ) Adore You
http://carolkrenz.blogspot.com/2011/12/my-eyes-still-adore-you.html
Sunday, December 18, 2011. My Eyes (Still ) Adore You. A number of months ago I had a birthday - not one of those major milestone birthdays, no, a rather quiet birthday, the kind that can either be greeted with muted enthusiasm, or as the dreaded ticking of Father Time's clock. The water torture of remembrance, a drip-drip-drip on the wrinkled forehead. As luck would have it, I was spending the morning with my sister in my apartment. We were on the floor, side by side, doing Pilates. Flash forward again ...

Nietzsche I'm Not: To Live In Interesting Times
http://carolkrenz.blogspot.com/2013/01/to-live-in-interesting-times.html
Friday, January 4, 2013. To Live In Interesting Times. I sat for days drumming my fingernails on my desk, wondering when I would jump back into my blog. The 'when' became fashionably late - not really what I aspire to be, but there it is. As to how to re-start this moribund journey, I have to begin on a serious note. It is positively heart-breaking- and nauseating. There were and are the "deniers" - I am not a Republican, I am a Libertarian. Yeah, right. It's still the same 'I got mine, you get y...You h...

My thoughts exactly...: December 2008
http://taraparker.blogspot.com/2008_12_01_archive.html
8220;If you do not breathe through writing, if you do not cry out in writing, or sing in writing, then don't write, because our culture has no use for it.” Anais Nin. Tuesday, December 30, 2008. I've been struggling lately with writing and motivation. The rush of Surrey has faded and now I'm sitting on my ass in my familiar ol' rut. Last night's dream (nightmare) may have just given me the kick that I need:. Thank God my son woke me up at 3:40am! I laid there watching him sleep and thinking: Am I really ...

Nietzsche I'm Not: Writing the Super Mario Way
http://carolkrenz.blogspot.com/2012/02/writing-super-mario-way.html
Wednesday, February 15, 2012. Writing the Super Mario Way. Imagine a flat landscape of dull words - words you wrote, words you hate, words that won't go away. You despise them. But, you need the message they convey so you don't delete them, you simply move on. Maybe the next batch will be better. You tell yourself you'll fix things. later, during edits. I can't do that. Or, to quote Jack Nicholson, I'll despair: "what if this is as good as it gets? What to do, what to do. Means if you throw caution to th...
