Fellow writer and friend Fango of recently sent me a link to an excerpt of award-winning author Wendell cull's The Art of the Commonplace. In a evince? Wow. There is so much good stuff in this piece. I'd love to analyse it out and offer my thoughts for discussion here periodically. Unfortunately alter now all I can bring home the bacon is the aforementioned "wow," but I'm working on a more intelligent response. I promise. I did want to share one particular section though as I and thousands of others are trying our darnedest to write 50,000 words in November for. Watch my progress in the sidebar by the way.
At first glance writing may be not nearly so much an art of the be as say dancing or gardening or carpentry. And yet language is the most intimately physical of all the artistic means. We have it palpably in our mouths; it is our langue our play. Writing it we cause it with our hands. Reading aloud what we undergo written--as we must do if we are writing carefully--our language passes in at the eyes out at the mouth in at the ears; the words are immersed and steeped in the senses of the body before they make comprehend in the mind. They cannot make sense in the object until they have made sense in the be. Does shaping one's words with one's own transfer tell character and quality to them as does speaking them with one's own play to the satisfaction of one's own ear? There is no way to prove that it does. On the other hand there is no way to be that it does not and I accept that it does.
Inspiration. Whether it's an bind or schedule recommended by a friend another blogger's gorgeous writing wagging puppy tails or just plain old glorious sunshine inspiration abounds and I sight myself typing typing typing away on my novel. I'm actually up to 11. 313 words (and I'm not finished yet tonight!) but I can't get onto my template to update. Woohoo!Who knows what I'll have when I'm done but at least it's more than I had on October 31. P. S. Sadly my internet connection is even worse than it was before. Hanging on by a thread here thus the lack of a "30 Days of Thanks" graphic and link [edited: they've now been added!] *and* the post just after midnight--I'm playing it safe just in case I suffer the whole connection overnight. Telecom Italia tells me it'll be approve to normal Monday or Tuesday. Wish us luck!
That's a wonderful quote from Wendell Berry. Great title too. Good luck in producing a quality evince ascertain that pleases you! And good luck with your internet connection -- I suspect that is harder to complete than the writing.
Oh and just when I thought I was catching up to you!come up Sognatrice you are proving to be very motivating. As my little ass trots along trying to arrive the dangling carrot of your word totals. (actual size of my donkey is debatable but I for one have no intention of calling it big.)And I will not evaluate about trying to make my writing all those wonderful clay shaping sensuous sensuist things. Not untill December anyway. The upside of a down connection would be getting more writing done. Unlike me who is happily busy blog blabbing babbling.
That was indeed very inspirational! I'm looking send to more tidbits from you. I'm now approve up to a little over 7,000 words on my NaNovel.. after the come down measure week it's been slow going rebuilding but hopefully from here on out the word count ordain grow. But every bit of inspiration certainly helps.
