Beautiful pictures! My favourites are the candy apples and the piglets.
You’ve got one heck of an “eye”, missy!

Hey Pete – thanks for stopping by, good to hear from you. Good luck with the book writing as well!
Hills like white elephants is another of Hemingway’s great dialog and minimalist narrative pieces. I enjoyed it quite a bit.

I’m writing a book as well. When I see what’s passing for fiction out there -I feel I must. Hope you get Chapter 2 done. I’m cheering you on.

“I finished reading Hemingway’s The Sun Also Rises and, despite trying to hate him, I quite enjoyed his style of dialogue.”
“What do you mean?”
“Well he doesn’t use a lot of ‘he said’ or ’she responded’ lines. You know who is speaking because of the context and character’s style.”
“Is it confusing?”
“No.”

Well, she’s absolutely right about being able to make fun of yourself! That was something I always admired about the Second City women: their complete commitment to the role. Even if it meant they had to look ugly and frumpy, as long as it got the point across… few actors these days are willing to do that. Her advice to you, as vague as it was, makes sense, though.

Ha ha, well the jury’s still out on what the pen will draw out of me. Lynnes said “Every journalist has a novel in him, which is an excellent place for it “– this probably rings true in most circumstances.

I think the ONLY possible reason to join a writers’ group is networking. And it’s an important consideration in these days when agents and editors are inundated with manuscripts from every ass who’s ever taken a creative writing workshop or who owns a computer and falls for that old, ridiculous notion that EVERYONE has a novel in them. When people say that in my presence, I’m often tempted to cram a book down their throat just to say, hey, y’know what, I guess you’re right…

Thanks telcontarrulz, but know that this is such a limited account of the place! If you want to read a more thorough description of where this took place, see the posts on this blog:
