Read Some Nonfiction
Sometimes fiction writers need to get out of the world of fiction and read about the real world. It's great to stay up with the news and the goings-on of the world, but I also want to remind my readers that there is a vast collection of thought-provo...
Be a Tomboy for a Day
I was at the exact perfect age -- high school seniordom -- when the Red Sox achieved that wonder of wonders and won the world series for the first time in 87 years. To understand how momentous that was for Bostonians, you really had to have been ther...

Moulin de Moidrey, originally uploaded by ballycroy. This is an absolutely gorgeous photo of a french windmill. I love windmills because of their thoughtful, innovative design (going back centuries!) and their simple grace. Who would have thought tha...
You Can Go Home Again!

Hello,
Samuel Shem, author of "House of God," has written his latest novel, "The Spirit of the Place." It's available now and is considered Mr. Shem's most ambitious work.

You seem like a very difficult writer to please--which I like! To be a good writer, one must be very critical of himself from the first to the last word on any piece. Your tips are very helpful. Thank you . . .

I was reading through your blog and found your short story Bardo. I really enjoyed it, I particularly liked Jack. He's funny and cruel at the same time, I enjoyed his dialogue and wished for more of it. I found him to be very interesting and the only person changing throughout the story. Ellen seems to be the same person throughout the story as she searches for her calm, for her center in life; while Jack goes from brotherly drunk to cruel drunk to remorseful brother. Jules, Dan and Chokyi have depth but only add to Ellen and not themselves. I almost want to interpret the ending as Ellen having the courage and confidence to leave the bardo, to detach herself from her previous self but that would be too obvious. Rather, I see it as her not having the courage to cut those ties as she can't detach from her brother and obviously still has feelings for Jules. Anyway, I got a lot out of your story as you can see but I'll end my comment here.
