A Writer's Life for Me Anthony Buccino writes on writing The 17-hour days are mind-boggling and eclectic, yet flexible. Someone is always grousing about how this should have been, or that should have been done some other way, such are editors, readers and the people we write about. From: Why We Do It, Why We Write
It was just another
day on Police Beat. I cover Police Beat. That's my job. That's what I do.
Walking through cluttered halls, checking out wanted posters, looking for
someone I know, someone I could turn in.
From: Just Another Day On Police Beat In 1970 my 11th grade English class was broken down into several groups to do group book reports. The group I was in selected The Strawberry Statement Notes of a College Revolutionary by James Simon Kunen. From: Job Rock In Prose For what may be obvious reasons, whenever anyone, former employee, man on the street, historic novelist enters our office with the bright idea of talking to someone who could help them with a book they've written, the neophyte author is sent along to my desk. From: Writing The Book Is The Easy Part About a month ago, nearly 40,000 people came to town. Not everyone made it to Daniel's Den, the new little book store off the beaten path where I held the first book-signing for my second book Sister Dressed Me Funny. From: It Does Not Matter Where You Are When You Laugh Remember the TV show Superman & the one where they were in the jungle and the diamond serving as the eye of an icon got lost. Then someone says if you put a piece of coal under a million pounds of pressure for a thousand years you've got a diamond. From: Superman: Coal & Diamonds When I look back at all the crap I wrote in high school, it's a wonder I can write at all. From: It Was A Dark & Stormy Knight ''New Jersey's 'Garrison Keillor' '' ** ** "... or something to that effect" |
