Writer and Slave: Get Used To It

by evyjourney | posted in: A Writer's Life | 3

You are a writer. Therefore, you’re a slave. To reviews, to courting a readership, to spending hours on tasks not related to writing. Writer and slave: You’re helpless against that bondage. Most writers now are resigned to the fact that … Continued

Why Writers Are Researchers, Too

Why Writers Are Researchers, Too

by evyjourney | posted in: A Writer's Life | 2

Writers are researchers, too. In fact, writers have to be Jacquelines (or Jacks) of many trades. Wordsmiths, grammarians, artists of a certain sort, interviewers, investigators/researchers.  Even counselors. Of these, I’m most comfortable being a researcher. I did  research for graduate … Continued

Write To Save Your Life (or, at least, your psyche)

Write To Save Your Life (or, at least, your psyche)

by evyjourney | posted in: A Writer's Life, Love, life, small things | 5

A Delight: The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society

Writers write books. They also write about books—reviews, literary analysis, how-to manuals. And, of course, fiction. Fiction about books often deal with our relationship to books or what they mean to us. The book, The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society by Mary Ann Shaffer and Annie Barrows, is one such novel. Set shortly […]

Nature as Main Character in Fiction: 1. Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead
