The Question of Where
Posted by Emilia Fuentes Grant in Guest Bloggers, Where I write on May 24, 2012
I rarely think about where I write. The question is usually when, or how, or if I will—”where” is an afterthought. When I consider “where”, I find it’s a loaded word. “Where” denotes locations tangible and intangible. Is it my plastic Ikea desk or the solitary confines of my mind? Even if we limit “where” […]
An Environment Ripe for Writing
Posted by wordimprovisor177 in Darlene, Where I write on May 16, 2012
I have a home office. Like the rest of my house, it’s decorated in contemporary clutter. Looking in from the door, you’d see a direct path to my chair lined on either side by stuff. My computer sits on a roll top desk among the ever-changing collection of coupons, bills, scraps of paper with scribbled […]
Haruki Murakami’s 1Q84 (Review)
Posted by virgowriter in Brad, Reviews on May 13, 2012
1Q84 Author’s doorstop of a novel, Haruki Murakami’s 1Q84 is nothing if not ambitious in its scope and heft. At times thrilling, at times boring, the story follows the separate—albeit connected—storylines of Aomame and Tengo, two 29-year-old residents of Tokyo. Aomame is an emotionally walled-off woman who works as a personal trainer, specializing in self-defense. […]

A Room of My Own
Posted by virgowriter in Brad, Where I write on May 6, 2012
A Room of My Own Although I love to write, it takes very little to divert my attention from my work. There are days when I curse the makers of Bejeweled Blitz and Monopoly for existing within easy reach of my mouse. But the ability to be so easily distracted comes from being out of […]
Where do I write?
Posted by LadyLadder in Linda, Where I write on May 2, 2012
Where don’t I write? is an easier question. I am blessed with not needing a special place or absolute silence or my special chair or what have you. I spent 20 years in advertising. Writing in agencies where getting hit with a nerf dart or being on the wrong side of an Uzi water gun […]
Inspiration
Posted by Emilia Fuentes Grant in Guest Bloggers, What inspires me on May 1, 2012
I imagine that the first time I spoke, I did so out of necessity. I’m not talking about my first word. I mean the first time I uttered a sound with the intention of expressing my singular, interior wants or needs to the people around me. I can’t remember the moment, but I visualize it […]
