Sunday, January 18, 2009. January 18, 2009 - The Writer's Tablet. Journal Activity (prose) for character development:. Think about your favorite section of the grocery store. Begin a list of items that you would find in that section. Your first list should be very basic (apples, lettuce, peppers). List items consistently for about five minutes. Return to the top of the list and write the following qualities about each item:. How does it smell? How does it look (colors, cleanliness, etc.)? Ruth: I suppose...

GP Salon: Moon Tree

http://gpsalon.blogspot.com/2008/11/moon-tree.html

Saturday, November 15, 2008. Someday this will all die down. And we'll find the rhythm of you and me. Is nothin' more than. A 2 2 beat. Let's make up a song. Full of longing and lust. Dance down the road. Stir up the dust. Promise me when I fall down. You'll kiss my brow and make it right. Sew my gaping wounds up tight. Pick up my heart. Blow off the dust. Sing me a song full of. Hope, faith, and trust. That oak tree fell straight down. Right here in my yard. Pushed around by the storm. In a red nightgown.

GP Salon: August 2008

http://gpsalon.blogspot.com/2008_08_01_archive.html

Wednesday, August 20, 2008. It is the season of sticky watermelon juice. On the kitchen floor. My sandals suck the linoleum on the trek to the sink. This season is for random thoughts and altered memories,. When we compromise the reality of situations. In its humid physicality. It is for sunlight pouring through a meandering gloom,. Forcing its way toward the seared grass. Where only weedy things thrive. It is the season for losing keys and misplacing identities;. And bore their way into my mind. Psychog...

GP Salon: March 2008

http://gpsalon.blogspot.com/2008_03_01_archive.html

Thursday, March 27, 2008. Tuesday, March 11, 2008. Death of a Lawnman.A.E. Bayne. A man in a lawn service vehicle flashes past in my peripheral vision, holding what appears to be a gun to his head. I’m fairly sure, after a second thought, that it was only an innocuous cell phone propped lazily to his ear. But then I get to thinking, what if it really was a gun? What would have made this man decide to off himself at an exit ramp to Route 3 just outside of Fredericksburg, Virginia, during mid-day? As it ha...

GP Salon: New song by Ruth, Emily, and Tim G

http://gpsalon.blogspot.com/2008/09/new-song-by-ruth-emily-and-tim-g.html

Wednesday, September 24, 2008. New song by Ruth, Emily, and Tim G. All heart, you said you were all heart. Honest flesh and blood. A real man just for me. I believed everything you said. You said you were true. You said "It's only you". Well your heart, stole my heart. Then left it cold and alone. But my heart, my lonely heart. Thought it had found a home. You said you loved me. You never loved me. Your heart, your hollow heart. It's just an empty shell. Like the one fell out of my gun. You lied to me.

GP Salon: January 19, 2009 - The Writer's Tablet

Monday, January 19, 2009. January 19, 2009 - The Writer's Tablet. Write the words "civil rights" in the middle of your page. Use a brainstorming or listing technique to come up with as many associations as you can about civil rights. Jot down anything that comes to mind in the span of two or three minutes. If you don't come up with many things, allow yourself a couple more minutes. Happy Birthday, MLK! Labels: The Writers Tablet. January 29, 2009 at 6:03 PM. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

GP Salon: February 2008

http://gpsalon.blogspot.com/2008_02_01_archive.html

Tuesday, February 26, 2008. Your breath was just a wispered song Monday, October 08, 2007. Of someone breathless for so long. Did it to you seem? When I forget my self-taught grace. You can catch the fear. In your soul's abode. And let me see your treasures. But don't leave me all alone. Until my security you've measured. One love in a place unfound. One a few states down. One that knows not the sound. When my heart goes round. Just a little rose. With a little love in heart. Without a hope for a start.

Wednesday, January 21, 2009. January 21, 2009 - The Writer's Tablet. Take a piece of prose writing by a favorite author of which you are particularly fond. You will need a largish paragraph with which to work for this exercise; and you may want to try it more than one time, so multiple copies would be beneficial too. Scan through the paragraph circling every third word. Take a look at the words that you circled. Do you see a theme emerge? Try a scan of every fifth word. You get the idea. Branching out fr...
