Diary of a madgirl. Fragments of a mind that never stops whirring. Sunday, July 12, 2009. Writing and Writhing - a fragment. Writing and writhing. The two aren’t very far from one another when you’re trying to write a novel. You write, you writhe around in self-doubt and confused tenses, then you write some more. Write, writhe, write, writhe. An endless seesaw that is the state of my mind these days. Things are making sense, I love my characters, everything is wonderful! Maybe I am a Writer after all!

Diary of a madgirl. Fragments of a mind that never stops whirring. Friday, April 30, 2010. The Critical Essay: The Road. In the same MFA application. I was also asked to write a critical essay about some aspect of craft. This rather open-ended question made me tear my hair out in tiny tufts, which I then superglued to my miniature troll, who now sports Chinese dreds. Just kidding. Or am I? The nondescript leathery corpse in the quote above also garners little sympathy from the reader. Throughout the ...

Diary of a madgirl. Fragments of a mind that never stops whirring. Monday, March 15, 2010. Curse of the Overly-Enthused. During this brief sojourn, I've collected a few recurring observations of Hong Kong's 'literary world.' I apply quotations to 'literary world' since surely one cannot presume to have experienced any sort of 'world' based on a two-day symposium and a flurry of random talks, but here I go, presuming anyway. 4) Unabashed enthusiasm tends to make others wary, especially authors and agents&...

Diary of a madgirl. Fragments of a mind that never stops whirring. Wednesday, February 10, 2010. Glory Time - daily drivel. I've got about half an hour before I launch into glory time, just enough to throw down a few sentences. It's one of my gazillion resolutions to blog more in 2010. Not so much in the form of longwinded fragments, but a dollop here and there of the daily cream. So what is this glory time, you may be wondering? Is it solitary pooping in the comfort of your favorite bathroom?

Diary of a madgirl. Fragments of a mind that never stops whirring. Thursday, March 18, 2010. Glutton For Bad Karma. Then the flight rumbles to a landing, jolting me from the slumber that knocks me out as soon as the captain announces descent. Gets me every time. The plane taxis to the gate and the sardines are restless. As soon as the lights pops on and the bell goes ‘ding! We all trundle off the plane after the doors open and I beeline for the bathroom because the life of my bladder depends on it. We...

Diary of a madgirl. Fragments of a mind that never stops whirring. Thursday, June 17, 2010. Glasses have been a part of my identity since the fourth grade. I’ve pretty much always been “that girl over there with the glasses.” So why did I decide a few months ago to join the ranks of the lasered masses? Here were my pros and cons, by order of importance (1 being most important):. Didn’t see that big gaping hole there! Note: Yes, Con 1 is more important than Con 2, I am that superficial. For those who are ...

The Global Ideas Blog: Which type of innovator are you?
http://globalideas.blogs.com/the_global_ideas_blog/2007/04/which_type_of_i.html
The Global Ideas Blog. Laquo; Cowbins: greening the land. The Alzheimer Screensaver ». Which type of innovator are you? Global Ideas Bank was at the Skoll World Forum of Social Entrepreneurship the other week, under our alter ego. One of the themes was 'social innovation' which meant, in this context, discussing different routes to achieving social change (rather than just the route of the social entrepreneur). It was interesting stuff, with Geoff Mulgan of the Young Foundation. Posted by: Andrei Tallent.
