Your Writing Tenets

*****I know bloggers are “supposed” to end posts with a call for response. I don’t do that often because it bugs me and feels so contrived. But, this post is specifically for writers (the rest of you may click out now :-) ), and does end with a call for response. I’d really love to hear your…

Her Name was Bertha, but……

Note from Pam: Today I’m happy to bring you a guest post from Terry (White), soon to be something else, as you shall read. Her post has me contemplating a blog series about names — I’m brainstorming and we shall see if it comes to be. Names are intriguing to me — our own, names we…

Deeply Good People

First, a confession. I rarely read The New York Times. I know, my bad. Especially as a writer. But here’s the thing — when I was a freshman in college, I remember two seniors talking about The New York Times like it was their bible, like anything else, anything at all, was not a source worth…

Literature as a Bridge

Reading has always touched me deeply. I can’t remember my life before reading. I can remember my life before writing, but words and reading have always been in my world. Since I’ve joined the often lonely world of writing, I’ve come to appreciate — time and again — how powerful the…

Glads and Sads

Our time in Glasgow is slipping away and it makes me alternately sad and glad. When I was helping back at Wauwatosa Presbyterian Church with a confirmation group (mostly eighth and ninth graders), we would often begin sharing our “glads and sads.” It was refreshing in the course of our time together…

Dentists & Directions Abroad

I have a small chip in a front tooth. With the help of my son back in the states, I touched base with my dentist and found out that he recommended I see someone here rather than wait the two and a half months until I’m back in Wisconsin. I was uneasy. It’s not odontophobia, or…
