Bio



the ambivalent writer

"Do you have a new idea almost everyday for a writing project? Do you either start them all and don't see them to fruition or think about starting but never actually get going? [...]

If you can relate to the above, you certainly have the obsessive qualities—along with the self-aggrandizement and concurrent feelings of worthlessness—that are part of the writer's basic makeup. However, you have so many conflicting thoughts and feelings about writing and about yourself as a writer you are unable to choose one idea and see it through. [...]

The ambivalent writer confuses procrastination with research. [She] can't hear through a static to hear one true voice."

- Betsy Lerner, The Forest for the Trees

'Nuff said.

This journal is specifically made as an avenue for my creative writing students read and discuss more articles and advice about writing from veteran writers. Entries will most likely be quotes from writing books and/or about the writing process.

Feel free to comment and discuss.

More personal thoughts—aka nonsensical ramblings—are here: [info]alcarcalime.
