Posted by MK Stover. Links to this post. Friday, March 13, 2009. Technology seems to have killed phone etiquette. While etiquette is not something that I am overly concerned with, I can't help but to be appalled by what has become acceptable:. A call comes in from I-know-not who and the caller says, "Hey.". A phone call b...

I Recommend . . . Posted by Teresa at 10:57 AM. Plot and Structure, by James Scott Bell, is a revolutionary book to many of us who are writing novels. It's funny how many times I've run into someone who finds it as inspiring as I have: I told Lois about it, she finished it before me and urged me to hurry up! Then my sister-in-law, Laura, who has had a novel living in her head for years, picked it up and was amazed at how easy plotting became for her! So, get this book! Quick, before they're all gone!

Teresa Wells: What's in a name?
http://teresawells.blogspot.com/2009/07/whats-in-name.html
What's in a name? Posted by Teresa at 8:54 PM. That's why I'm rethinking my title. It's just not gripping me by the throat these days. And if it doesn't grip me, will it really grip a casual reader as they peruse the bookshelf? No - the question is, will it grip an editor - will it grip an agent? 160;Will the title Green Corn and Porch Music provoke anybody to look beyond the title and read the first line? I'm thinking . . . no. Don't think I'm an extra trusting person - it's just that I've scratched my ...

Posted by Teresa at 9:17 AM. Call me obsessive compulsive. That's what I look like some days, writing this story like my life depends on it while the groceries, once again, aren't purchased, the bathtub isn't scrubbed, and those appointments that should have been made, haven't. So what's the big deal about this story? It's Angeline. She won't leave me alone. And by the way, where was her own mother in all this? The only thing was, I didn't know her story. Thus, Green Corn and Porch Music was born. Robin ...

Always learning, even from the unlikeliest resource. Posted by Teresa at 5:22 PM. Today was the first day of the fifth graders' Civil War unit, and we're using blogs and wikis as their reporting tools. As I was talking about what a blog was and how we'd be writing blog entries, I made a snap decision to show my own blog as an example. . Now if we can just get our server to keep from throwing us off every five minutes . . . Photo uploaded from Flickr:cogdogblog. Links to this post. Links to this post.

Posted by Teresa at 9:50 PM. Writing groups are wonderful for convicting you of your writerly sin. You go along, thinking everything is A-OK, and then someone says something, the smallest little question, and it makes you think, hmmmm. I wonder . Lois did that for me the last time I was convicted of my writerly sin. It wasn't what Lois said - it was what I read, and how my reading fell flat. And we both knew it. What was my sin? I broke the commandment of Thou shalt know thy characters inside and out.

Posted by Teresa at 6:40 PM. I love bluegrass music. True, some of it is corny as all get out. But my Ipod is loaded with Cherryholmes' brand of bluegrass, and that gets me in a better mood, guaranteed. I also love the Bruce Hornsby and Ricky Skaggs collaboration, and can you say Allison Krauss? 160;But oh my gosh: Cadillac Sky . . . now there's a band! This tradition of porch music plays a prominent role in my novel. How can it not? From the Hillbilly Savants' blog. Links to this post. 160;I'm writing ...

MK Stover: November 2008

Appalachian Long Distance Hikers Assoc. WV Scenic Trails Assoc. MK Stover Blog Home. The Grafton 123 Blog Home. Taylor County, WV Blog. Raccoon Run State Park. Tuesday, November 18, 2008. My Uncle Jim taught me how to cook rice. Put rice in pot, add water to cover rice. Use your index finger to check the depth of the water: the water should cover the uncooked rice to the depth of your first knuckle joint. Bring to boil, reduce heat to very low, cover and simmer until done. Posted by MK Stover.

Joy of the Soul. Posted by Teresa at 10:09 AM. Love all kinds of music, but when Cadillac Sky posted that they just came out with a new EP called Weary Angel, I went ga ga for it. You HAVE to hear it! And as long as I'm talking about music that makes me ga ga, I can't wait for my sweetie to put his latest creation on You-tube. He's got a few things out there (rickocaster) but his latest makes us start groovin' to the beat every time he cranks it up. . Very different words.). Pass me my Ipod, please.
