Novel Thoughts: Writing: A Loooooooong Apprenticeship
http://mindyfriddle.blogspot.com/2011/02/writing-loooooooong-apprenticeship.html
Monday, February 14, 2011. Writing: A Loooooooong Apprenticeship. In the traditional meaning: "apprenticeship" became prominent in medieval Europe with the emergence of the craft guilds. The standard apprenticeship lasted seven years, from age 14 to 21, for example. [Back then you died at 40, so there wasn't time for career burnout.]. I like to use the word apprenticeship. To describe writing, because unless one is enormously freakishly talented at a disgustingly young age, [see The New Yorker's. St Mart...

Novel Thoughts: Don't Miss "Getting Closer"
http://mindyfriddle.blogspot.com/2011/01/dont-miss-getting-closer.html
Monday, January 3, 2011. Don't Miss "Getting Closer". In this issue of The New Yorker: a gorgeous story, " Getting Closer. I admire Millhauser's fiction.he is a fabulist and a minaturist- totally unique voice- nobody writes like him. This story is rather short, but every sentence glitters with hard beauty like a jewel. And such suspense! You know something is going to happen, something important. The Zen Buddhist term for a flash of sudden awareness- that's what this character experiences. Dont Miss Gett...

Novel Thoughts: Stop Me if You've Heard This
http://mindyfriddle.blogspot.com/2011/01/stop-me-if-youve-heard-this.html
Monday, January 10, 2011. Stop Me if You've Heard This. Snow really is the great equalizer. Everybody's lawn the same, everybody's car. The snow gobbles up the differences. And it is rare here, rare enough that everything is closed, except a few gas stations. It is also book weather.forget beach reading, snow reading. Is the real heavy lifting. I'll leave with some favorite snow quotes:. It is winter here. Look how white everything is, how quiet, how snowed-in. - Sylvia Plath. Posted by Mindy Friddle.

http://mindyfriddle.blogspot.com/2011/02/february-18th-book-inn-luncheon.html
Thursday, February 3, 2011. February 18th Book Inn Luncheon. I love events in January and February because there are- rarely- any temptations to go outside and bask in the sun or sweat at weed pulling. The Garden Angel, unflappable. It's book weather, and book club discussion season. My next opportunity is the Author's Luncheon at Book Inn. In the Columbia, SC area, so if you're in central South Carolina or want to take a drive, I'd probably* love to see you. Here are the where's and when's:. St Martin's...
