the inverse of the excluded middle
I’m beginning to understand why, so often, a writer’s first book makes a big splash while later books seem to trail off a litte. It’s because in that first book, a storyteller tells you the best story that’s in her … Continue reading

I’m your huckleberry … or at least, we’re related.
OK, not quite related. Co-alumni. We’re back, having trailed through the Beajolais region of France, Switzerland end to end, the Tyrol section of Austria, bit of Bavaria and the Saarland, and Luxembourg. I’ve written a little about it on the … Continue reading

making up minds
Decision for today: I’ll be rowing a single tonight. Do I row Rudder’s shiny new boat, or take out the (somewhat scuffed but still very good quality) club boat that fits me much better? (For any rowers reading, his is … Continue reading

vacation reading
On this trip, I’ve brought along an omnibus edition to read, The Young Hornblower, consisting of the first three Horatio Hornblower books (Mr. Midshipman Hornblower, Lieutenant Hornblower, Hornblower and the ‘Hotspur’).

new toy
For the past week or so my exercise has been confined to miles and miles of walking and a bit of biking but yesterday I got to play with a new toy and accomplish something new. A week or two … Continue reading

two more poems
One thing about writing, at least for me, is that it tends to engender more writing. The process of working on the book poem has been fun, to see what works each time and what parts suck. I’ve been mildly … Continue reading

*not* a book-poem, for a change
Though part of this is about books. I’ve just finished Alma Alexander’s Gift of the Magi, the first of her Worldweavers trilogy (at least I think it’s meant to be a trilogy). I liked it a lot; the combination of … Continue reading

and … Take Three!
This is fun. This time I forced the pantoum form (lines 2 & 4 in each verse become lines 1 & 3 in the next verse). It started with one line: the third in this poem, which contains the central … Continue reading
