http://keyboardandpen.blogspot.com/2008/10/book-club-fiction.html
Monday, October 13, 2008. I don't belong to a book club right now, but reading this blog entry about Book Club Fiction. From (literary agent) Nathan Bransford, it seems like a lot of my reading is in this commercial/literary crossover.

CURIOUS INCIDENT OF THE DOG IN THE NIGHT TIME. THE STORY OF EDGAR SAWTELLE. SECRET LIFE OF BEES. Book covers, celeb...

Keyboard & Pen: Michael Cunningham on writing
http://keyboardandpen.blogspot.com/2008/11/michael-cunningham-on-writing.html
Wednesday, November 12, 2008. Michael Cunningham on writing. Visiting a writing class in Maryland, author Michael Cunningham spoke about his writing and his writing process.

http://keyboardandpen.blogspot.com/2008/11/quote-nathalie-goldberg.html
Friday, November 14, 2008. I read Nathalie Goldberg's two books about writing,. Writing Down the Bones. Years ago. Still have them on the shelf, and did a quick squizz through them the other day. Some of what she says I can still see influencing my writing process and habits. I was reminded of her again by this quote, which Ali Edwards used on her blog (. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).
