For semester 3 at Stonecoast I get the opportunity to study/explore, in depth, a craft concept, through the brilliant work of other people, and also to experiment with in my own writing. I have chosen to study the use of voice and humor to write about the mundane in an intriguing way (how to keep the reader’s pages turning…)
I’m going to TAG all Stonecoast work in “Beauty in the Dishsoap” – a new category you’ll notice way over there on the right side of the blog homepage.
Feedback during this semester would be of crucial value to me. If you’re up for it, readers, please let the words fly. Let me know what works and what absolutely does not. You can comment in the box labeled “say what you need to say” on the blog. Or you can just respond on Facebook. If those don’t work, or you want a more private way of providing feedback, shoot me a message in any way you prefer.
Thanks, ya’ll.

An aside: While watching the last tango in Halifax, I answered a riddle I had been thinking about and am still laughing. Because the answer is from Irish culture. Sorry if this language offends anyone but it is funny with the pictures I have in my mind. “Di. Where does the expression, ‘ass over tea kettle come from?’ ”
“Oh, I think it’s Irish. The men coming home after working and stopping at a pub for a few cool ones carried a teakettle with a lit usually that was attached to its top at the back. As they walked home in a village you could hear the clank of that teakettle top as the worker swung his harm back and forth like someone marching.
Thus clink, clink , clink, all over town and not in a syncronized rythum. Clink, clink, and so on until everyone was either home or stopped at the local pub. As time rolled on should a man stumble over a paving stone or a pile of sheep litter and fall. He would fall
‘ Ass over teakettle.’ ” Good night.
