Have you read this book? Oprah has been endorsing this for quite a while and is conducting A New Earth class with book author, Eckhart Tolle. Beautiful? New-new-age-rage? what do you think is this? It sounds pretty interesting to me, but am not sure yet whether to delve into this new kind of class.

Prose is like designing an animal—it works better when the muscles are hidden and you only touch fur. So I though it’d be fun to dissect some prose from my upcoming novel Mantids and explain what made me draw that particular hoof that way. The paragraph below happens in an Astoria, Oregon nudie bar where the narrator’s wife works. It’s basically scene-setting, a 360-degree scan to let the reader know where they’ve been plopped down. First, the excerpt in its entirety:

So my journey begins now. Here in my kitchen, dishing inspirations, memories, and random thoughts.

Dreams are reawakened, from bubbles into a platter of delight, and hope.
And perhaps, pain too.

This is my craft room, your haven, trash bin, closet.
I write, you feed. I feed, you live.
I write, i die. And then again, i wake.
And live.
