Magic, Mosaics, and the Alchemical Process of Becoming…

“Like turning base metal into gold, that’s what revision is to me.”
Susan Gabriel, psychotherapist, and author of Seeking Sara Summers
During my recent interview with Susan Gabriel she honestly stated that when first beginning to write she hated the process of revision.
On thanking her for being so truthful, I said that I had felt the same way.
We both then agreed that now upon reaching the stage of having written the rough/1st drafts of novels we love the stage of revising.
It was at this point that Susan wisely coined the phrase that she experienced the process of revision as one of “…turning base metal into gold.”

Cell Phone Glitches, “On Writing” and Gratitude…
Posted by Anjuelle Floyd | Filed under Musings
Yesterday I hosted author, Myne Whitman, on Book Talk, Creativity and Family Matters. The original date for our interview was Saturday, May 15, 2010 @ 12 pm PT.
Twelve, noon on Saturdays is the usual time of the broadcast, but on Saturday we have some technical problems. Myne’s cell phone kept going out.
By the time she was able to connect I had logged off. I felt horrible.
I was also worried if she all right. Rarely do I have technical problems that prevent the entire broadcast.
Luckily, I’ve never had any author to blow off an interview. Anytime there’s an interruption something is seriously wrong beyond the guest’s control.
And that is what happened to Myne.

Of Blogging, “Motherwit Four,” and Generosity…

Of the mother wit and wisdom in her writing Angelia Menchan says, “My mother was 30 years old before she decided to have children. I had these old women around me. My grandmother and then godmother lived to be 102. I was one of those old souls at a very young age. You know that story about the girl born with the veil over her face that would be me. And I just kind of tossed that over my shoulder. On August 9, 2010 I’m publishing an anthology of stories called, “Motherwit Four,” in honor of my mother.”
Author, Angelia Menchan, discusses “Ramblings,” “Schae’s Story,” “Is No Not Clear Enough for You?” and her recent novel, “Mrs. Black”.
She has also published an anthology, Women’s Writes, co-authored with Jennifer Coissiere, Darnetta Frazier, and Shaneika Ferguson.

My interview with Lisa Unger renewed within me the desire to just write, and see what happens. During my interview of her on Saturday, September 26, 2009, she talked about how her novels hold, “…a strong thread of domestic danger.” Lisa then discussed a concept: “We don’t truly know the people we love an trust,” [...]
