Kari Jones: January 2011

Books and other Writings. Thursday, January 20, 2011. Too swamped to write. Mustache courtesy of Tracey Brailsford and family. They always know how to keep things light. Links to this post. Tuesday, January 11, 2011. Tip for close editing. I'm in the middle of line editing my sea otter story- it's one I plan to send to Orca for another Currents I hope. I'm so amazed at how many extra words I use, and how clearly I see them when I go through this process. Laborious, but worth it. Links to this post. Satur...

Kari Jones: August 2010

Books and other Writings. Thursday, August 5, 2010. Wise words from Barbara Kingsolver. The main character of The Lacuna by Barbara Kingsolver is a writer. He writes histories that also have current political significance, and he's well known and well liked. Here's what he says when asked where to start a book: "You start with "in the beginning," I told her, but it should be as close to the end as possible. There's the trick.". I love it. Wise words. Links to this post. Wednesday, August 4, 2010. I've be...

Books and other Writings. Saturday, March 26, 2011. A day in the life of a teacher/writer. Just another day in the classroom. All the students were chatting while the student who was going to present next stepped out to fix something about his presentation. One student asked me “Can I show the class something on the computer.”. 8220;Is it suitable for a classroom? 8221; I asked. How did I react? So what did I learn from this little episode? 2 Never single out students in public when they make mistakes...

Kari Jones: October 2010
http://karijones-kari.blogspot.com/2010_10_01_archive.html
Books and other Writings. Friday, October 22, 2010. Back the the drawing board, as they say. But not really, because, yahoo, they liked the story. There are holes in the plot, to be sure, but not many, and none that aren't fixable. This is why I'm so happy with this process. It's so much better to make changes to the plot now, rather than when all the text has been scripted. And why don't they react? What was she scared of all along? Thanks to Alex and Carol for their eagle eyes on my chapter outline!

Books and other Writings. Thursday, May 27, 2010. Wild With Child Anthology almost out! Make believe is something which we writers delight in, but which many people give up as life progresses. Why is that? Make believe makes the world a richer place, especially when we can share it with others, bringing a bit of magic into their lives too. Links to this post. Tuesday, May 25, 2010. Links to this post. Friday, May 21, 2010. Has it been difficult these past few days to communicate with those close to you?

Mom of the Wild Things. The Furry and Fishy. Saturday, November 19, 2011. Trying to keep up with life. Well, my baby girl is going to be one year old on the 22nd. I can hardly believe it.

Mom of the Wild Things. The Furry and Fishy. Wednesday, October 5, 2011. The usual blathering mess. Gosh, I really should post something. Since starting school, it's always in the back of my mind. I need to do this, this, this and this. when I have time. I never have time. Now, I know where the expression "I wish there were more than 24 hours in a day" comes from. Him do it all. When did I become a perfectionist? When did I become so obsessive compulsive? I re-write and edit my work neurotically. Mom to ...
