the dull yellow eye: August 2010
http://dullyelloweye.blogspot.com/2010_08_01_archive.html
The dull yellow eye. Laurie Paulsen's writer's blog. Tuesday, August 31, 2010. I've mentioned a few times the writer's workshop site I belong to: http:/ www.scribophile.com. The scribophile site admins have answered this call and created a new, related-but-separate site called: http:/ scribblefolio.com. The fun part is choosing a motif from a list of about a dozen options. Each one is attractive, streamlined, geared toward a professional presentation. I hope the site adds designs over time with a...Rates...

the dull yellow eye: October 2010
http://dullyelloweye.blogspot.com/2010_10_01_archive.html
The dull yellow eye. Laurie Paulsen's writer's blog. Monday, October 25, 2010. Frank Darabont is directing this new AMC series based on Robert Kirkman's epic graphic novel. Check out the website for Making Of documentaries and the official trailer. If you feel strongly about the integrity of zombie tales told with heart and well, organs (hanging out all over the place), I think we'll both be happy on premiere night. (It's Halloween!

the dull yellow eye: Wow. That was dark.
http://dullyelloweye.blogspot.com/2011/07/wow-that-was-dark.html
The dull yellow eye. Laurie Paulsen's writer's blog. Monday, July 18, 2011. Wow That was dark. So, after I dug myself out of the yard and hosed off, I started reading a collection of Eudora Welty stories I'd gotten months ago. And read "Water Off a Black Dog's Back" first. I get thrills just thinking about it.). I just read another of hers, "The Key." A train station full of waiting passengers, everyone keeping to themselves in one way or another. A young man drops a key accidentally, the sounds ...The t...

the dull yellow eye: Poseur! ... Dilettante! ... HYPOCRITE.
http://dullyelloweye.blogspot.com/2011/07/poseur-dilettante-hypocrite.html
The dull yellow eye. Laurie Paulsen's writer's blog. Sunday, July 10, 2011. Do you listen to the voice in your head? Maybe not everyone has one, or the one telling you you're a has-been, a loser, undeserving of the shiny new desk in your office and bereft of original thought or the discipline to mold a readable story from thin air and some twine. I gotta say, this whole mindset does balls* for writing. Am I a fake? Since I've stopped telling people "I'm working on (insert current project here)," not tech...

the dull yellow eye: July 2010
http://dullyelloweye.blogspot.com/2010_07_01_archive.html
The dull yellow eye. Laurie Paulsen's writer's blog. Tuesday, July 6, 2010. Two apparently unrelated events. Within the past week i've experienced two separate events- which i guess i do all the time, if you wanna be technical- but these two events have had a profound effect on me and the whole writing thing. okay, wait- three events. three separate, unrelated events. i'll address these in chronological order of occurrence:. You'd think that would do it, wouldn't you? It's dawning on me that i want for n...

the dull yellow eye: Good or Good Enough?
http://dullyelloweye.blogspot.com/2011/03/good-or-good-enough.html
The dull yellow eye. Laurie Paulsen's writer's blog. Tuesday, March 22, 2011. Good or Good Enough? I had a conversation with a friend several days ago. We were discussing story critique and judgment about when a story is "good enough." The question came up (in my head) about the point of the whole endeavor. Each person has their own fantastic goal. Some strive for genius, beauty, meaning. Some want fame, cash, prizes, critical acclaim . Here's my point: when do we decide our story is finished? I admire a...

the dull yellow eye: August 2011
http://dullyelloweye.blogspot.com/2011_08_01_archive.html
The dull yellow eye. Laurie Paulsen's writer's blog. Monday, August 8, 2011. Triumphant comeback notwithstanding, my writing output's been herky-jerky, a paragraph here, 1000 words there. Days in between. I've heard people suggest giving myself a deadline, but then I'd just feel guilty about breaking an arbitrary goal I'd set for myself. I don't need more practice with that, to be honest. I know this is a common problem. I think it's called procrastination. I remember hearing somewhere that peopl...But h...

the dull yellow eye: May 2010
http://dullyelloweye.blogspot.com/2010_05_01_archive.html
The dull yellow eye. Laurie Paulsen's writer's blog. Saturday, May 29, 2010. Feedback at the writing workshop. Today was day 2 of a 3-day writing workshop sponsored by my town's community college. the workshop's been around for many years, has developed a huge following, and presenters travel from around the country to pass on sage advice (and if a writer's planned ahead, even to offer feedback on manuscripts.). See his web page: http:/ www.writing2sell.com/). So, what'd i learn from mike today? Mike gav...
