Good Taste, Bad Taste, No Taste At All

Thursday, March 31st, 2005

Do your movie tastes mirror your book tastes?
For me, the answer is absolutely not.   I’m even less in sync with the other member of my household, we’ll call him hubby.  Trying to pick a movie in my house is the equivalent of the negotiations at the Yalta Conference.  My usually cool, Hawaii-born hubby likes horrifyingly [...]

Plant That Seed

Wednesday, March 30th, 2005

I was reading the magazine, Harper’s Bazaar, to the extent you can call it reading.  It was more like flipping pages.  Would you believe I reached for a copy of Marcel Proust’s Swann’s Way and the girlie magazine fell into the shopping basket instead.  No?  Good for you because that’s a big fat lie.

I enjoy listening to writers and reading their interviews but always wait for that moment when the questions turn from the writer’s books to something else. To questions that don’t have any real relevance to anything but sound as if they do.  To questions about the author’s writing process and the so-called rules of [...]

Inaugural Blog

Saturday, March 26th, 2005

Finally. 
After much wondering, lurking and obsessing I’ve started a blog.  Nothing fancy.  Just a way for me to chat about things I care about and probably a few I really don’t.  The idea of having another way to ignore my manuscript? Well, that’s just a bonus.  See, after watching the CBS movie Spring Break [...]
