Quick post to link you over to Mariah’s blog: http://www.mariahirvin.blogspot.com/.
She’s just hit 100 posts and is hosting a contest to celebrate. You can check her site for more info, but the gist of it is to post a funny scene/example/story using deus ex machina, with the winner garnering an illustration. I don’t often post work online or participate in contests, but this one was too much fun to pass up and I thought I ought to spread the joy. So keep an eye out for entries and consider posting your own! Everyone needs a little funny in their lives once in a while.

Good news for fiction writers: Adults are reading more.
Made it to campus, as I hope you assumed. Last week was a long one, but the weekend capped it well. Goodness. It’s freezing. Ice on the walks and chimney pipes for mouths. I’ve never seen so much breath.
The cold sucks all the gumption out of me. I still need to find a public space to sit and eavesdrop on conversations. Not because I’m a creeper, but because of Creative Writing. Assignment for Tuesday? Transcribe an actual dialog and then enhance it with authorial comments/stage direction. I love dialog, maybe a little too much, so this shouldn’t be a problem. I just have to create a burst of energy brilliant enough to actually go. Eh. After dinner.
But to all the writers in warmer climes, this would be the perfect chance to flex your interpretative muscle. Or just your privet eye muscles. Whatever floats your boat.
