Novel Thoughts: July 2010
http://mindyfriddle.blogspot.com/2010_07_01_archive.html
Thursday, July 29, 2010. Hub City This Weekend: It's About Perspective. I'm going to be at the Hub City Writing Conference. This weekend in Spartanburg, SC. I'm leading a fiction workshop, and my focus is narrative point of view in fiction. [Info on the conference registration follows, but my class is full. I think all the fiction classes are full! The essential question for point of view: Who is telling the story? This kind of narrator:. 8220; . .many contemporary narratives are written in first...Dista...

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...

New Homes for My Herbs! | A Word or Two
https://wordor2.wordpress.com/2009/10/22/new-homes-for-my-herbs
A Word or Two. Fall christmas decorating: thoughts. The Great Sunflower Project →. New Homes for My Herbs! October 22, 2009. This was a mild fall afternoon, lovely for taking care of things in the garden. My garden has mostly been ‘put to sleep’ for the winter, but I still had a few things to do. I ended up re-potting several of my plants and herbs. Everyone gets a new, roomier home for the winter! By now my raspberry has been pruned and mulched, my sunflower stalks ripped out and composted, the garden b...

remembering strawberries | A Word or Two
https://wordor2.wordpress.com/2009/12/23/remembering-strawberries
A Word or Two. The Great Sunflower Project. And baby makes three →. December 23, 2009. A good way to handle such darkness. I’ve been reading through Jane Austen’s. The past few days, and although it may be dark and wintry outside, when I read I’m transported to the sunshine and greenness and strawberry patches of Donwell Abbey. If there is anyone reading this post, I’d love to hear of your favorite way to eat strawberries. Say hello! And Merry Christmas, everyone. 🙂. December 23, 2009 at 11:32 am.

Budding and Blooming: June 2013
http://sanguinaria-budding.blogspot.com/2013_06_01_archive.html
Monday, June 24, 2013. Our house is finally finished and we moved most of our stuff this weekend! It is very exciting to actually be living here and have some time to take care of the new garden. It has been neglected, but I'm still glad I took the time to get some things planted this spring. I just couldn't imagine not growing veggies this summer. Today I spent unpacking box after box. I always think I don't have that much stuff. until I move! Friday, June 21, 2013. The plan was to till up some beds and...

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...

Garden Planning for 2010 | A Word or Two
https://wordor2.wordpress.com/2010/03/27/garden-planning-for-2010
A Word or Two. And baby makes three. Happy earth day →. Garden Planning for 2010. March 27, 2010. This year my approach to gardening is decidedly more laid-back. Speaking of children, that is a large part of the reason why I will be taking a more laid-back approach to this season. I am halfway through my first pregnancy, with a baby boy due at the very beginning of August. Will be growing bigger and bigger, right along with my flowers and produce. You have at most, what, 40-50 growing seasons? Right now ...

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.
