Midweek Notes from a Practicing Writer

Yer Out!

The email arrived a few days ago. “Dear Erika Dreifus: Thank you for your application to NYFA’s Fellowship program.  We are sorry that we will not be able to award you a Fellowship this year. We received a record number of applications this year….” You know the rest.

So now it is official: I have applied for fellowships unsuccessfully from the New York Foundation for the Arts in THREE genres: fiction, poetry, and nonfiction. Now how many of you can say that?!

Friday Finds for Writers

Treasure Chest
Writing-related resources, news, and reflections to enjoy over the weekend.

  • From the NPR Social Media Desk: “What We Can Learn from the Kardashians.” (Did I really just write that?)
  • Looking for some prompts? Check out these 500 samples “for narrative and personal writing” from the New York Times Learning Network. (Thanks to Lisa Romeo for this find.)
  • Much to my chagrin, I missed the AP’s holiday-themed Style Chat earlier this week. Thankfully, Poynter had me covered.
  • Many congratulations to the latest group of poets to have won fellowships from the National Endowment for the Arts.
  • I’m consistently impressed by (and, truth be told, a little envious of) my writer friends who seem to be as gifted/talented in other artistic areas as they are in writing. Latest example/reminder: Deonne Kahler, photographer.

    • Happy weekend!
