Just a day in my life: Refusing to do "Work"
http://unautrejoursolitaire.blogspot.com/2013/03/refusing-to-do-work.html
Just a day in my life. I am here trying to make the best of every day. To find the joy. To cherish the moments of happy that occur all around me. All the time. -V. Monday, March 4, 2013. Refusing to do "Work". I sit here, at the spa, as I usually do when my days are numbered and my mind yearns to be elsewhere, I blog, and dream about a life outside of this "serene" music and "relaxed" clients. I thought I would give A Moveable Feast. It is a terrible thing to be lonely. There is no one to tell you that a...

Just a day in my life. I am here trying to make the best of every day. To find the joy. To cherish the moments of happy that occur all around me. All the time. -V. Monday, March 25, 2013. Too little time, but only for a bit longer. I hope you all had a lovely weekend. Mine was relatively tame, uneventful and as usual, full of work. I hope to be able to define work as writing, and not waiting tables and answering phones. Oh the many somedays, may they reach me soon. Thursday, March 14, 2013. Now that I ha...

It was just an hour that I had here. Barely enough time to drink a cup of coffee, making it through my blog roll, find inspiration.

Sunday, November 27, 2011. Reading and Writing and. The casket than standing at the podium giving the eulogy.) At first glance, writing appears to be a remote activity, one that allows the author to express his or her thoughts without having to leave the comforts of the couch. Passive. Safe. You can tell when a joke works- and when it falls flat. You hear how you sound to other people. You can tell if your cadence is off or if something is worded awkwardly. A little ego-stroking never hurt anyone. This r...

Grout Nonfiction: April 2012
http://cnfgrout.blogspot.com/2012_04_01_archive.html
Friday, April 6, 2012. MFA Thesis Survival Tips. And so in case these tips might be useful to your thesis or similar project, here are my top survival tactics:. 1 Find your people. Being part of a thesis group is critical. Determine what kind of group is helpful for your process: a critique group that will push you to hone exactly what you are saying, or maybe an inspiration and writing group, where you meet with others, come up with prompts and just write like mad. 2 Your thesis might not be a book.

Grout Nonfiction: Reality Hunger: A Discussion via Homage
http://cnfgrout.blogspot.com/2011/05/reality-hunger-discussion-via-homage.html
Saturday, May 21, 2011. Reality Hunger: A Discussion via Homage. This past Wednesday students from Hamline met to discuss David Shields’ newest book, Reality Hunger: A Manifesto. I think it’s a defensive lyric essay via an attack on narrative fiction. I would add that it is a personal manifesto or manifestation of what is a viable genre/nongenre. It seemed to be more personal essaying than cultural manifesto. I don’t know that I want art to give only bare reality. It’s reality that’...This is supposed to...
