wordworkscreativewriters : Message: Inside a writer's headAm celebration of a mass a pick up of reduced stories by Sheila O'Flanagan, and a first story starts similar to this:

=======

Jennifer Jones sat during a table upon her balcony.

No, thought Corinne, that's as well boring. It doesn't say anything, doesn't let people know where she is. Or what sort of person she is. Or what competence be about to occur to her.

Jennifer Jones watched a crystal-clear H2O from a chair upon her balcony.

But what's she doing sitting down? Corinne asked herself. Why is she sitting around similar to a lame-ass when she's somewhere beautiful and exotic? And when she's ostensible to be beautiful and exotic too? And generally when she's ostensible to be a sassy action heroine? She shouldn't be sitting anywhere only seeking during a sea similar to a handicapped pensioner. (Though pensioners don't have to be feeble. Note to self: how about a licentiate brave lady for a destiny novel? Mightn't which be interesting? Or is which as well Agatha Christie? Miss Bloody Marple, of course. Nobody can do a licentiate similar to Miss Bloody Marple, can they?) Corinne frowned as she looked during her revised opening sentence again. we haven't even said which it's a sea she's seeking at, have I? Crystal-clear H2O could be a lake. I'm still not giving any report about what's starting to occur to her during all.

Jennifer Jones... Jennifer Jones... Corinne stared during a open laptop in front of her. Oh bloody hell, she thought. What a ruin is starting to occur to her? I've no damn idea. She pushed a laptop away from her in offend and stared out over a blue and white wooden rails of a patio of Room 404. She sighed deeply. Bloody Jennifer Jones. She loathed a woman. Detested her. Hated her. Abhorred her. Corinne pulled a laptop towards her again and clicked upon a thesaurus. Abhor. Abominate. Deplore. Detest. Dislike. Execrate. She frowned. Was depraved a verb? She wasn't sure. She'd never heard of ! it befor e. But it would do. If it meant what it was ostensible to mean, then she absolutely all and utterly execrated Jennifer Bloody Jones.

Thought some of a writers here competence be able to identify with this! *grin*

Poetry puzzles

Who is Ozymandias? Why is Coleridge's Lime-Tree Bower his prison? And what is the proper spelling of The Waste Land? The solving of a poem's puzzles is one poetry's greatest pleasures In the late 1990s the indefatigable John Sutherland produced a series of entertaining books about puzzles in fiction (Why is Frankenstein's monster yellow? Where does Fanny Hill keep her contraceptives? Who gets what in Heathcliff's will?). The books were initially linked to reissues of novels in the Oxford World's Classics series, and I was struck at the time how beautifully these little inquisitions of Sutherland's, often on apparently absurd or marginal issues in the text, got readers reading again, with attention and interest. What Sutherland was doing, in effect, was smuggling serious literary criticism into an apparently superficial form of writing. Perhaps, in a sense, he was even re-inventing literary criticism. In this era of academic theorising and the downsizing of m...

CCCP: Cosmic Communist Constructions Photographed by Frdric Chaubin review

These images of Soviet architecture from the Brezhnev era are simply out of this world Soviet brutalism is not something traditionally thought of as beautiful, but Frdric Chaubin's stunning photographs, published under the facetious title CCCP: Cosmic Communist Constructions Photographed , should go some way to changing this. Fascinated by the massive scale of Brezhnev-era architecture, the French photographer has toured the former Soviet Union since 2003, in search of dramatic examples of these sculptural buildings. The 1970s-1990s was a strong period for Soviet architecture, especially in the peripheral republics, where outlandish designs were an expression of the striving for independence, an early inkling of the break-up of the USSR. Architects at this time picked up where they left off following the suppression of the avant-garde by Stalin in the early 1930s, and were able to capitalise on advances made in engineering in the interim period, producing buildings with enormous in...
