“Comity”
My vote for word of the day, if not word of the year and perhaps even word of the decade.
It’s defined as:
1. An association of nations for their mutual benefit.
2. Courtesy and considerate behaviour toward others.
Here’s where I found it used: http://www.newyorker.com/culture/culture-desk/the-womens-march-me-too
November 1-30. The world needs your novel.
Re-rolling up my sleeves after a long hiatus.
Other life intervened. But no more. Here goes!
In this new age of journalism, publishers should not abdicate responsibility by hiding behind low budgets
I can't get James Foley out of my mind since hearing about his murder yesterday. This article from the Guardian highlights the new reality for far too many reporters and journalists.
innovate way to interweave dialogue in story
I've shared some files using Bitcasa!
Last night was the final session of our 2014 Writing Class with the Quick Brown Fox himself, Brian Henry. I put together a playlist based on the stories that had emerged ... here's to you, Beverley, Donna, Emily, Geri, Iuliana, Jenn, Kelly, Linda, Oshea, Peggy, Susan, Tamara and Ted, and to all the wonderful characters you've created!
AND NOW, A FEW WORDS FOR ALL OF YOU OUT THERE IN THE TRENCHES, WITH YOUR TROWELS & WEEDERS …
Lydia was an exuberant, even a dramatic gardener. She would spend hours in her straw hat and gloves, bending over the soil. When somebody walked past her in her work, she was always holding up a lettuce or a bunch of radishes, with an air of resolute courage, as though she had shot them herself.
(An extract from Renata Adler’s seminal 1971 novel Speedboat, republished in 2013 by the New York Review of Books.)
Wonderful, wonderful Ronald Searle.
With a little wishful thinking, this might also be my new mantra.
HAPPY WORDLESS WEDNESDAY EVERYONE
(Wonderful pen graphic by Jan Richter on Behance ... oops, does that mean this post is now not wordless after all?)
Book By Its Cover is a site devoted to showcasing creative publications. While digital media is flourishing, this site hopes to bring attention to the beauty of the printed page.
Having lots of fun exploring this wonderful website celebrating (and reviewing) books and beautiful illustrations!
What more can I say?

Thought-provoking article in today's (March 16) New York Times.
Could the same be said of Canadian children's literature, or is it more inclusive, specially with regard to native Canadian's children's stories?
I’ve mentioned Brian Henry’s terrific creative writing workshops a couple of times already (www.quick-brown-fox-canada.blogspot.com).
I’m counting the days till March 27th when I will be near Georgetown, Ontario, plunging into the first of eight weekly workshops all about The Next Step in Creative Writing. Classes run Thursday evenings, 6:45 to 9:00 p.m. March 27 to June 12, at St. Albans Anglican Church, 537 Main Street, Georgetown, in the village of Glen Williams. (Once you go around the bend on Main St, it’s the second church on your right - see map below.)
If you live around Burlington or Mississauga, check out the dates and times for similar workshops near you.
Brian's Quick Brown Fox and I are already rolling up our sleeves, picking up our pencils. Maybe we’ll see you there?
I do not have a Kurt Vonnegut fixation. Pure coincidence that this is my second KV-related posting. This appeared in the New Yorker, May 16, 2005 (p. 38) and ever since I have had it pasted to my fridge to remind me.
Does music help you to get those words flowing onto the keyboard or page? If so, any suggestions that work well for you?
Or is silence an absolute must for focusing?
How this blog came to be ... a work in progress.
A Creative Writing Group in Georgetown, Ontario
A local writing group I've been lucky enough to discover and visit. I now know what I'll be doing every other Monday evening for the next two months ... R.U.M.S., P.U.M.P., & driving to the Best Western on the Hill in Georgetown. Their website is also worth a visit for writing and book-related links, news and resources.
