Here's my original! The author's name is Ria Manglapus and it appeared in the Washington Post Animal Watch section.

Original post with November 27 2016 date.

The author's name is Ria Manglapus and she is still at the Post. When she wrote Animal Watch it was full of these delightful absurdities. It was my favorite section of the paper, and many other people local to DC.

How to write: Stop not writing. Keep your butt in the chair. Write really bad small sections of the whole—passages, moments, episodes, memories—til you have an incredibly shitty 1st draft. Then take out the boring parts, the lies and pretensions. Then write a better 2nd draft.

So thrilled that I finished reading so many good books in 2024 that I finished an A-Z challenge almost by accident. (I was missing Q and Z but I got them in under the wire).

It came. I've read it and very much enjoyed!!!! Really liked how it ended. Loved the grief allegory and the pervasive sense that the parent always had it together. I feel seen.

Gr. Ch. Patches is glad her show days are in the rear view. She is living out her retirement as a spoiled beloved pet.

I loved the Handmaid's Tale ending with the conference proceeding! So cool. I read Freewater, Home going, James this year and at first I was like oh no another runaway enslaved tale, but then it went so many cool places!!!! I love the Daughters!

Optimist: the cup is half full Pessimist: the cup is half empty Writing workshop leader: well as your classmate said, switching POVs is really a sticky wicket. Aristotle says, in poetics to strive for unity of story. But in the end it's really up to you, as the writer.

Patches wants to know what you are writing. She's a big reader.
