Got something to say, good, bad

  1. Really enjoying the blog, the "East of Eden" posts and otherwise. One question: do you mind if I copy your "Books on Recommendation" idea for my blog? I love what you're doing with it. Every time I see "Brewer's Dictionary of Phrase and Fable" I think of Christmas possibilities. :)

  2. I'm a teacher, and my sense of property is pathetic. Take, borrow, and imitate all you want. I should probably charge you or something (ha! right!).

  3. Haha, thanks! When my blog gets a million followers, and I'm making money off it, I'll return the favor. :)

  4. How long do you think you have to maintain a blog with the niche appeal of either of ours before (excuse the passive) money could actual be made?

  5. I have no idea. I'm not sure it's possible. If that ever happened, it would be awesome, but I'm just taking things one entry at a time.

  6. One at a time, indeed. Sometimes I get a few in a day. It's so much easier to focus for the time necessary to do one of my entries than it is to focus for NaNoWriMo. I can do blog entries five minutes at a time; novelling--not so much.

    As far as entries are concerned in general, I'm two short of 100. I'm wondering if I should do some celebration or something....

  7. Haha, I think a speech would be in order.

  8. Oh, gosh! I WANT followers, not to push them away!

  9. Where did the spider question come from? I didn't realize there was a debate.

  10. I'm fairly sure that those who pronounce it "triantula" aren't aware of the debate either, but two sides there clearly are! I can't believe how often I hear the clearly "dis"-etymological "tri."

  11. Xanadu -- Glad to hear you're a Hulme fan! As for my dissections of Calvino, well, I guess it's in my nature to take things apart just to see how they work.

    Hope you stop by again.

  12. "Her skirt lifted as a dark mist
    From the columns of amethyst."

    1. Hello, Anonymous --

      What a pleasure to find another admirer of the oft-forgotten Hulme! I always enjoy rereading his fragments. Thanks for sharing.

  13. I'm interviewing Lincoln Child on Wednesday and researching his books as prep. Just stumbled across "black frame" reference which led me to you. I see you're on indefinite hiatus but this looked like a charming blog.

    Just sayin'

    1. Thank you! I hope some day to get started on the blogging again. Right now, though, among three kids, a new (and very demanding) career, and a lot of church activity, there just isn't time--even to read! I haven't read a novel of my own choosing in ages. Keep checking, though. Hopefully there will be more.

      And I hope the interview went well!

I actually like what you have acquired here, certainly like what you're stating and the way in which you say it. You make it entertaining and you still care for to keep it wise. I cant wait to read far more from you. This is actually a wonderful site.
