Grout Nonfiction: Reality Hunger: A Discussion via Homage
http://cnfgrout.blogspot.com/2011/05/reality-hunger-discussion-via-homage.html

It seemed to be more personal essaying than cultural manifesto. I don’t know that I want art to give only bare reality. It’s reality that’...This is supposed to...

Sunday, November 27, 2011. Reading and Writing and. The casket than standing at the podium giving the eulogy.) At first glance, writing appears to be a remote activity, one that allows the author to express his or her thoughts without having to leave the comforts of the couch. Passive. Safe. You can tell when a joke works- and when it falls flat. You hear how you sound to other people. You can tell if your cadence is off or if something is worded awkwardly. A little ego-stroking never hurt anyone. This r...

Grout Nonfiction: Fifteen False or True Starts
http://cnfgrout.blogspot.com/2012/02/fifteen-false-or-true-starts.html
Monday, February 20, 2012. Fifteen False or True Starts. Guest blog post from Tanya Paperny. In response to the recent discussion regarding truth, lyric essays, and John D'Agata:. Fifteen False or True Starts. 1) Holy shit, you just blew my mind. Was she being presented to us as an essayist. And what were these works she read? Like a frozen mouse. Like birds wading or figs rumbling or the muttering of mathematicians. Like a taxidermied antelope. Like the trajectory of sea ducks. 4) Writing Prompt (via Mo...

This Blog Has Moved. April 5, 2014. Write or Bust has moved to my new website. Http:/ www.brittanygoss.com. Please go check out the new digs. I plan to start writing over there soon!
