Coming Attractions

Oh goodness. It is so difficult to find the time to write even a fraction of what I want to. Plus there's that whole annoying (no, really it's wonderful!) job of writing grants. So whenever I write here, technically I'm using precious "free" time that should be used to work for money. Sigh.

Still though, here are some things I desperately want to write about and plan to get back to in the near future:
1. Short short fiction and Lydia Davis's excellent story collection A Variety of Disturbances
2. Elizabeth Gilbert's Pilgrims and her advice for writing
3. The importance of setting to help establish and ground characters in fiction. A good balance between dialogue, description and setting works best.
4. Demons - positive or negative? Plus explain Buddhist Demon Meditation technique (I'm not making that up, I swear!)
5. The 8 limbs of Yoga
6. An exploration of Yamas and Niyamas
7. Spam and Sincerity in writing
8. Continue posting directions for poses (good practice for teaching, like lesson planning)
9. Samantha Dunn and an excerpt from her wonderful novel Big Love
10. Ghosts and my own daughters' photo of a San Diego ghost



Alright, this can tease your interest, and now I can just refer to this list and stop carrying it around in my memory!
