In the realm of other people’s conversations, I went through a period when I was writing down people’s sunday fasting testimonies as poems. I think, at the time, I was really appreciating that people would give out their personal stuff that way, and I just wanted to wonder over that.

My writing’s at a dead stop. I have to renegotiate that one.

Mel, you rock.

I started on a few “I have a confession to make” sentences, but they all grossed me out.

Melonie,

Can I borrow some lipstick (not the tone-down kind, but one of those shades of resplendent mauve)? And 2 dollars? And can I have that mangled chocolate bar? Our Halloween candy is all gone around here.

I love your writing tips and prompts. I’m still thinking about the prompt I picked at the conference. It has opened up a whole can of philosophical worms for me. (Have you ever seen a philosophical worm? It’s not pretty.)

I also love the idea that writers get ideas like oysters get pearls. Profound, and poetic to boot!

Thanks for sharing your thoughts (and the contents of your purse) with us.

The only thing I ever really wanted was a big calling…

Oh Mel, you’ve already heard that one!

Loved to read this, but better in person at the AML
