Swim Against the Grain. A Blog About Writing, Thinking, Making Stuff and Mixing Metaphors. Wednesday, December 16, 2009. ORACLE (Part 3): Word Box. Cut slips of paper. Ten, twenty. a hundred even. Write one word on each slip of paper. Nouns and verbs work best, but adjectives are also OK. Put the word slips in a container of some sort (I use a small, plastic box shaped like a Chinese takeout container). Here are some exercises you can do with your word box. First word you pull = 1st word of 1st sentence.

Every so often I wake up in the morning with math on the brain. Today was one of those days so I decided to start my post with a theorem. And Here's a Corollary. There are no accidents in writing. If you're going to create tension, do it with intent. Which brings us to our first technique. Space (Part 1: Positive and Negative Space). A great exam...

Swim Against the Grain. A Blog About Writing, Thinking, Making Stuff and Mixing Metaphors. Sunday, April 4, 2010. Stands for inner gabi gone insane. Iggi is a curious creature, one of many moods and temperaments. Since her writerly inspiration is often tied to her moods, I've come up with a handy-dandy guide. The iggi-meter at right will let you know which iggi is around today. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Every day I try to write real things, but the truth always gets in the way.

Swim Against the Grain. A Blog About Writing, Thinking, Making Stuff and Mixing Metaphors. Saturday, November 21, 2009. Today I said goodbye to my best little buddy, Goldie.

She liked camping and enjoyed the great outdoors. er, indoors. She knew the value of a good belly rub. June, 2003 - November, 2009). 12th Day of September...

Michael the Girl: March 2006
http://michaelthegirl.blogspot.com/2006_03_01_archive.html
I learned something very important watching. Apparently movie critics were the people most affected by the Sept. 11 attacks. The reviews for this film were vicious, idiotic and pointless (Just keep reminding yourself that the NYTimes gave the Beatles a bad review the first time out, and your head won't explode). I'm going to go see. X-Men III, Lucky Number Slevin. Which all look like tré awesome riffs on genre and tropes. And at least one of them has Josh Hartnett in a towel. Yum.). But that doesn't acco...

I lo-oove internet sentence contests. Need an anonymous net denizen to create a slogan, headline, or haiku (I'm crap at limericks), and I'm your girl. There's something really nice about writing something short and sweet with near instant gratification. My first brush with the internet sentence contest culminated in a Jack Shafer article for Slate. And finally, Michael Dobbs. Devoted his pop-music energies to the new-hed [headline] generation contest with these submissions:. Posted by Mike @ 9:29 PM.

Last week I saw Tony Kushner's adaptation of the Czech children's opera Brundibar. And his original one-act curtain raiser But the Giraffe. At the New Victory Theater. The New Vic books in some of the world's most sophisticated children's theater. And Kushner's work certainly qualifies as sophisticated. Some of that sophistication is more borrowed than created and not merely borrowed from Maurice Sendak's lovely and astonishing sets. Comes laden with historical baggage, which But the Giraffe. Are just a ...

Is Sanjay Gupta a real doctor? So I'm pulling a pan of fishsticks. Out of the oven, and CNN is on in the background (because I like noise, and I'm not up for picking out a CD) and I hear one of the dumbest things I've ever hear a) on a news program b) not uttered by a member of the Bush administration. Dr. Sanjay. Gupta is explaining, to some charmingly over-coiffed woman about drug resistant. I'm considering refusing to ever call him doctor again) says to the over- coiffed. To whisk them away to safety.

I don't know who the translator is, but this quote appears as the epigram to Theresa Hak Kyung Cha's experimental novel Dictee. May I write words more naked than flesh,. Stronger than bone, more resilient than. Sinew, sensitive than nerve. I remember always really loving (the more daring) translations of Sappho's poetry as a teenager. And I suspect the reason why is being a teenager is a raw experience: teenagers actually feel naked, strong, resilient, and sensitive. Posted by Mike @ 8:06 PM. In my defen...

Sex and the Teen Reader. I've been thinking a lot about sex in teen literature lately. I know it's going to be an important issue in my WIP, because of who some of the characters are. And so, like I do with most of my writing problems/concerns/difficulties, I turn back to my own reading. You sometimes hear stories of girls quietly passing copies of Forever. Or Flowers in the Attic. You would never have guessed that there was sex between the pages of Herbert's Hellstrom's Hive. But these are in his adult ...

Why I love Brooklyn. So Jake and I spent Sunday in the neighborhoods near our own. First we headed down to Park Slope where we and a friend out waited the rain in Ozzie's. Then we went to the local indie bookshop where I picked up a children's book called "The Slightly Irregular Fire Engine or The Hithering. By post-modernist extraordinaire Donald Barthelme. Jake got a zombie terrorism police procedural thriller (which somehow was not post-modernist? Posted by Mike @ 6:26 PM. A work in progress. Sex and ...
