Amos Magliocco's Writing Desk. Writing about writing and other topics for writing's sake. Tuesday, May 3, 2011. Connecting the system of tubes known as the interwebs. An unexpected benefit of the Amazon contest is my Goodreads account was upgraded to an author profile, and that allows me to cross post this blog to the blog module there. I'll omit the URL because that seemed to cause a problem in the last post. Can't live with that, of course, so troubleshooting will commence presently. Put on the Petty".

Amos Magliocco's Writing Desk: July 2012
http://www.amosmbooks.com/2012_07_01_archive.html
Amos Magliocco's Writing Desk. Writing about writing and other topics for writing's sake. Sunday, July 29, 2012. Hi, blog.

Amos Magliocco's Writing Desk. Writing about writing and other topics for writing's sake. Sunday, February 17, 2013. A student asked recently for a definition of "literary fiction," not an uncommon question. I said all the usual things about the term simply denoting yet another genre, though literary writers would object, but I added ideas like "choices people make under duress" and internal conflicts that mirror surface plots, etc. The other day Narrative Magazine.

Amos Magliocco's Writing Desk. Writing about writing and other topics for writing's sake. Monday, February 18, 2013. With a student in my office moments ago, I nearly drove myself crazy looking for this Alice Munro quote on the Google Machine.
