As I Lay Blogging…
The Pirate’s Alley Faulkner Society has opened its annual William Faulkner-William Wisdom Creative Writing Competition (cash prizes, yall!). The Society is an offshoot of Faulkner House Books in New Orleans, which is one of my all time favorite stores. The deadline for entries of all types is May 1 if you’re thinking about entering. (Thanks for the link, Mom.)
And if you are entering, you might want to check out Steven Johnson’s article: DIY: How to Write a Book. It’s more about the mechanics than the inspiration. You’re still on your own in that department.
Johnson is author of the excellent non-fiction book The Ghost Map (my review). I’ve got to get my hands on his latest, The Invention of Air. Read and/or listen to an excerpt on NPR’s book tour page for Invention.
