I’ve read some tear-jerkers. Jodi Picoult’s My Sister’s Keeper left me bawling. Audrey Niffenegger’s The Time Traveler’s Wife just killed me. But yesterday, this was the scene in my apartment.
I’m in my kitchen, and in theory I’m supposed to be cooking (a grilled tortilla wrap stuffed with hot sautéed mushrooms, garlic, onion, and provolone). But I just can’t seem to stop READING…
It’s been an insanely hot day today, and I have to say that I just loved it. A friend and I went to see the Unicorn Tapestries at the Cloisters in New York. Then, a quick Subway veggie hero and lunch in the “impoundment” area of the Meadowlands.
My last library rsun included a couple books that have been on my TBR list for, oh, not too long. And one of them was Cathie Linz’s Smart Girls Think Twice. I’d seen some chatter about this book on another blog and, frankly, I liked the cover. So I thought, What the hey?
Every writing workshop in the world will probably tell you that active characters (characters who get things done) are better than passive characters. But the temptation for passive characters is so strong. Why?
