Office Chatter: Fall/Winter edition. January 5, 2012. Since Catherine has abandoned her post (the funding for her position expired), office chatter hasn’t been the same. I don’t know if Maddy just has poorer spying skills than Catherine, or if we just suddenly stopped being interesting when both Catherine and Sandra left, but it’s taken us longer than usual to compile enough silly [.]. The Desire to Understand: Lisa Martin-deMoor on Crafting the Personal Essay. December 8, 2011. Story is a state of mind.

The Thing About Things: November 2012
http://andrew-n-hood.blogspot.com/2012_11_01_archive.html
The Thing About Things. Thursday, November 15, 2012. Sorry 'Bout All The Cursing, Buds. What If Ronnie Corbett and Tilda Swinton Fucked? Was looking for people to play along with The Next Big Thing questionnaire and I was all like, "Okay! It's always a risk to talk about a book that you're working on, maybe comparable to announcing a successful pregnancy before it's been brought to term. Or maybe not at all. What is your working title of your book? The Kingdom of Reality. On less-than-successful days,.

Because writing is hard. Tuesday, July 8, 2014. Will the real Emily Saso please stand up? My mom emailed me today:. So of course I dropped everything and googled my own name, and here's.

Ego Burn: An unrequited love story
http://egoburn.blogspot.com/2015/06/an-unrequited-love-story.html
Because writing is hard. Thursday, June 25, 2015. An unrequited love story. I've posted another one of my shorts on my web site. It's called Marie. And it's a sort-of-sweet, sort-of-sick love story. Who doesn't love those, right? Is a quick read because I originally wrote it for the. CBC short story contest. Which has a rather restrictive word limit. The original iteration of the story ( T. Did pretty well in that contest, making it as far as the long list. My reasoning is pretty simple: Life's too short.

Ego Burn: April 2014
http://egoburn.blogspot.com/2014_04_01_archive.html
Because writing is hard. Monday, April 14, 2014. Excel is a whatnow? I came across a blog through my agent’s blog. That's full of all sorts of goodies for writers. One of my favourite posts is about the process and — for lack of a better word — technique of revision. Check it out here. I don’t think I’ve used Excel as it’s meant to be used more than a dozen times. I remember my husband casually mentioning that it's just a big calculator. A while back, and I was all “Get the fu%$ out! I don't do anything ...

Ego Burn: April 2015
http://egoburn.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html
Because writing is hard. Sunday, April 19, 2015. Reverse slides and clitellums. I was looking through old blog posts the other day because no children no lawn care responsibilities = nothing to live for, and realized that I've never revealed what my novel is about on this blog, at least not formally. Sure, I've told you about all the agent rejections. I've endured, my new straws. My very rational fear of supervolcanoes. That time I spazzed out and turned my book into a TV pilot. And got a psychic. Take y...

Ego Burn: My dad is going to hate it
http://egoburn.blogspot.com/2015/07/my-dad-is-going-to-hate-it.html
Because writing is hard. Tuesday, July 14, 2015. My dad is going to hate it. I visited my dad in Ottawa on the weekend and, as per tradition, we stood on our soapboxes and got into it: abortion, gay marriage, euthanasia. But soon the conversation turned to more serious matters: books. My father used to read literary fiction — Hemingway, Steinbeck, Updike, Salinger. In his later years, though, he switched to Christian novels almost exclusively because:. 2) He can relate to the values. Why, I asked. 1) Bad...
