My Original Lit Blog. These Are Not My Words. A Quote By Ira Glass. Wednesday, April 27, 2011 by adelina. I'm not quite sure where this came from. It was tumblrd by the lovely NPR Fresh Air Tumblr. And I fell in love. I was lucky enough to hear Ira Glass speak last spring. I grinned like a fool throughout the entire thing. And much to the chagrin of my date for the evening, ardently took notes through the event. It was one of the best nights out. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). A Quote By Ira Glass.

These Are Not My Words: Inaugural Benediction
http://thesearenotmywords.blogspot.com/2009/01/inaugural-benediction.html
My Original Lit Blog. These Are Not My Words. Tuesday, January 20, 2009 by adelina. On Tuesday when many people were fervently watching Obama be sworn in and speak, most people switched off their TVs or computers after his last line. This was a shame because they missed my favorite speaker of the day: a little old black man named Reverend Joseph Lowery. Because my grandmother was expected to, and she was never paid. My huelito who taught himself English so he could become a citizen. My huelitos w...LOWER...

My Original Lit Blog. These Are Not My Words. On Asthma by Seneca. Tuesday, July 7, 2009 by adelina. Been quite lackadaisical about updating this guy. I've got some great pieces from Seneca, Didion, and Rilke to share. Today, a classic. In March, I had a severe asthma attack. Working outdoors. This was one of the first Creative Non-Fiction essays I read with the knowledge of what CNF actually is, and I've loved it ever since. Chronicled, once again, in superb The Art of the Personal Essay. Even as I foug...

My Original Lit Blog. These Are Not My Words. Saturday, October 5, 2013 by adelina. Since Facebook has buried all of my meticulously curated quotations on my profile, I leave them here in their original form. At least someone can read them, even if the someone is just me. And yes, many are from Doctor Who. I need, therefore I imagine." -Carlos Fuentes. Rule #27: Never knowingly be serious. My great concern is not whether you have failed, but whether you are content with your failure.". It is not inertia ...

My Original Lit Blog. These Are Not My Words. Street Haunting: A London Adventure *repost. Sunday, May 18, 2008 by adelina. Virginia Woolf changed my life. So often it is hard for us to connect with the writer. They are caught behind plot and characters and flowery language that we miss out who they are. Essays are the ultimate bridge between us and the writer and Ms. Woolf knew that. She exploits it. I first read this in The Art of the Personal Essay. First published in 1930. It is, in fact, on the stro...

These Are Not My Words: December 2008
http://thesearenotmywords.blogspot.com/2008_12_01_archive.html
My Original Lit Blog. These Are Not My Words. Monday, December 1, 2008 by adelina. Since about May I've been sporadically updating my blog on MySpace. Not because I particularly like MySpace (you can see the sparseness of my profile to prove that) but because I wanted to have a blog 100% free of my normal journaling that occurs over at livejournal. Regardless, I needed a place to still share the things I found, and to tell the things I wanted to. So, this is a continuation of my MySpace Blog.

My Original Lit Blog. These Are Not My Words. 36 Assumptions About Playwriting *Repost. Thursday, July 17, 2008 by adelina. Is one of my favorite plays. Sueño. Is flawlessly adapted, yet still retains a Rivera insight. The short ten-minute 146. Shows how effortlessly politics and our real life intersect. "Send me back." Oh, chills. I love it. Anyway, Rivera wrote an amazing list of 36 Assumptions About Playwrighting. It is published in that back of the Marisol and Other Plays. Over the years, I've had th...
