"A thoroughly captivating book: warm and wise and beautifully written." - Richard Russo, author of STRAIGHT MAN Monica Wood's Summer Reading List AND GIVE YOU PEACE by Jessica Treadway This is the story of a young woman putting her life back together after an unspeakable family tragedy. Treadway's got the goods - her prose is dreamy and unforgettable! THE HOTEL EDEN: Stories by Ron Carlson I'm an ardent fan of Carlson's short fiction. Unlike 99% of contemporary short stories, each one of his stories feels finished at the end. He can also be fall-down funny. DIARY OF A LEFT-HANDED BIRDWATCHER by Leonard Nathan While you lie in a hammock drinking beer, robins and orioles hustle food for their clamoring nestlings. You might pay feeble tribute to your feathered friends' exertions by reading this poet's sweet, satisfying meditation on birds and words.

She takes swimming lessons and gradually acquires confidence in herself as she loses weight and inches. She sometimes refuses sex with her husband, starts to stand up for herself. But her swimming and diet become obsessive; she continues to lose weight and wants to disappear. Commentary This short story, in the voice of a woman who's lost probably 200 pounds, traces her evolution from an obese woman without self-respect to a skeletal woman who supposedly is in control of her life, but is essentially suicidal. The opening scene of mechanical, indifferent sex immediately introduces that theme. Clearly a sexual frustration has been involved in the narrator's obesity. When her husband finally leaves her alone, she is gaunther secret for making him stop having sex with her. She seems depressed and wants to vanish in the water. Source The Tyranny of the Normal

HOME Interview Ernie's Ark My Only Story ... Books for Teachers Tips for Writers Books Recommended E-mail Tips for Writers Are you a beginning, discouraged, or struggling writer? Each month I'll offer a tip or two to help you with your writing and your writing life. Tips for March If you live anywhere north of, say, southern Georgia, you've had a hard winter. Subzero temperatures, ice and snow, burst pipes, the works. Celebrate the coming of spring (yes, friends, spring is coming) by buying something inspiring: a new pen, a handmade notebook, polka-dotted paper clips, 24-weight paper, a book of quotations...a gift that a writer would appreciate. Then give it to yourself. Usage note: Why is everybody suddenly mangling the past tense of the verbs "sink" and "shrink"? "The ship sank " is correct. "His hopes sank " is correct. "Sunk" is used for the past perfect, as in: "The ship had sunk"

9. The Eccletic Artwork Of Monica Kelly Features pieces in tapestry, wood and gourd media, focusing on color and abstract designs. http://www.geocities.com/artofmonicakelly

Monica Kelly Tapestries My recent work is an exploration of gradual color transformation in tapestry.  All of the wool and silk yarns are hand dyed specifically for each piece according to a pre-set procedure. Sometimes this involves dying the yarn in one color and dipping  it in another.  I try to keep the designs fairly simple so that this color change is the main interest.  The tapestries can take anywhere from four weeks to six months to weave depending on the design.  Just click Here to browse. Woods Art Living next to a watershed I can't help being distracted by all the great fiber supplies.  The woody vines are incredible;  and occasionally I find an extraordinary stick.  So, even though I consider myself to be primarily a tapestry weaver my artwork takes some unpredictable detours.... Just click Here to browse. Gourds Gourds are a wonderful art medium, both light weight and extremely durable.  They actually bounce when you drop them.  They are inexpensive to grow and reasonable to purchase; but they do require a lot of clean up.  There is always a down side.  Just click Here to browse.

The "teach" part is demonstrated by the adult education and other workshops in fiction-writing technique that Wood's led for years and by her new book, (Writer's Digest Books), a September/October Book Sense 76 pick.

Ballantine Secret Language by Monica Wood List Price: Pages: Format: Paperback ISBN: Publisher: Ballantine Debra Spark is the author of the novels Coconuts for the Saint and The Ghost of Bridgetown . She teaches fiction writing at Colby College and Warren Wilson College's MFA Program for Writers. Debra Spark: You dedicate this book, your first novel, to Anne Wood, your sister, and, you write in the dedication, "my guardian angel"? I know that two of your siblings (a brother and a sister) are quite a bit older than you (and your other two siblings). Indeed, Anne was your high school English teacher. Can you tell me a bit about her and her influence on your writing? Monica Wood: You just asked me about one of my favorite subjects! Anne was my high school English teacher. She wasand isthe center of our family. Let me tell you a story about Anne, an emblematic story. I grew up thinking I was some kind of child prodigy, and the evidence for this was some letters I wrote to Anne, when I was five or six years old, and she was in college. Over the years, Anne mentioned these letters as proof positive of my talents. Recently, I was going through my mother's cedar chest and found the letters. They said things like, "Hi, Anne. How are you? I am fine. I miss you." That was basically it. All of them were pretty much the same. "Are these the letters you've been telling me about?" I asked her. She said, "Oh, yes," all misty-eyed, and I'm saying, "Are these ALL the letters?" I kept hoping there was a secret stash somewhere.

Ballantine Secret Language by Monica Wood List Price: Pages: Format: Paperback ISBN: Publisher: Ballantine top of the page When Faith remembers her wedding, she believes "that if she had only been able to warm herself, if she had only stayed inside her body as she pledged forever and true, she might have learned to live with a man like Joe, a man who loved her." What is Faith acknowledging about herself here? Does it seem like a fair self-assessment? Why is it so hard for Faith to be part of her husband's family? After Joe confesses his affair, Faith speaks of an "unpleasant but strangely welcome feeling: her old, frozen self, finally delivered from the terrible trouble of love." Why is the feeling unpleasant? Why welcome? What has been troubling, for her, about the love that Joeand the Fullersseem to offer and, perhaps, demand? What kind of mother is Faith? What kind of sister? What kind of wife? What kind of love is she adept at? What kinds of love mystify her? What characters seem to speak a "secret language" in this book?
