He asked pointing to my thick manuscript sitting on the desk between us. This story ...

Writing is My Drink. Sunday, October 10, 2010. Once Upon a Block: How I Got Through My Worst Block Ever. In the post Thou's Name is Block. I wrote about writer's block that originates from a fear of the material: if you're not ready to go there, you'll find yourself washing dishes or checking email rather than writing. And then, beating yourself up later for not writing. All fun stuff. Once Upon a Block, Part One:. 8220;Isn’t that a Nike ad? 8221; I asked, trying to sound cynical rather than scared.

Writing is My Drink. Friday, September 24, 2010. Blog, Interrupted" and other pet peeves. All writers have pet peeves. We generally try not to talk about it because then no one will write us love letters or send us emails. Some of us cringe at the sight of dangling modifiers or the word "your" where "you're" should be. 2) Titles That Are Rip-Offs of Other Titles (and yes, I've done this). I can only think when Susanna Kaysen thought of the title Girl, Interrupted. She ran around her office doing a little...

I held it as tightly in check as I could, for as I made abundantly clear in my last two posts so very much was riding on the completion of this ef-fing (say it with a British accent) thesis.

Writing is My Drink: July 2010
http://writingismydrink.blogspot.com/2010_07_01_archive.html
Writing is My Drink. Wednesday, July 21, 2010. Barack and John Elder Robison, they are my brothers. I subscribe to the belief that wherever we go, we begin busily building our family-of-origin very nearly as we arrive. Your first teachers quickly became mom or dad to you.
