Quotation of the Week: Stephen King
“Fiction is a lie, and good fiction is the truth inside the lie.”
–Stephen King
Source: As I noted last week, I’m currently enjoying the latest Southeast Review Writing Regimen, and this quotation was included in one of the regimen emails.
Monday Morning Markets/Jobs/Opportunities for Writers
Friday Find: Woodberry Poetry Room Website
Thanks to the Poetry Foundation, I’ve just learned that the wonderful Woodberry Poetry Room at Harvard University has launched a new website. And it’s particularly rich in recordings. Do check it out. (Of course, if you’re in the Boston area, you should know about the WPR’s ongoing calendar of events, also detailed on the site.)
Have a great weekend, and see you back here on Monday.
Thursday’s Work-in-Progress
What work-in-progress? Between the Yom Kippur holiday and my hit-the-ground-running return to my 9-5 office job this week (following a month-long medical leave), I’ve had neither the time nor the energy to do much writing.
However, I have been enjoying at least reading through the daily emails that I’m receiving from The Southeast Review. I’ve subscribed to the latest SER Writing Regimen, which means that I am currently collecting a series of inspirational prompts/exercises, quotes, podcasts, and riff words that I can use. Someday.
