Of Grinding Pepper, Banalities, and Seeking That Which We Yet Understand…
Posted by Anjuelle Floyd | Filed under ... anjuellefloyd ..., ...married life ..., ...the writing life..., Articles & Essays
Working as both a wife of nearly 29 years, and mother of 3, has prepared me in various ways to accomplish the work of a fiction writer.
Working as a wife and mother requires a lot of what an Islamic Imam described as grinding pepper.
Grinding pepper, from the perspective of the imam encompasses those activities that we here in the west describe as comprising the bane of our existence–mindless tasks, that we view as disrespectful of our intelligence and that devalue our worth as a person.
The world banal implies a lack of uniqueness.
Something that is banal possesses no originality.
It is like the wheel that begs for no reinvention, rather more unique and original ways of bringing a deeper level of presence and attention to the task(s) at hand–tasks that when practiced with a presence of mind and heart sharpen our skills and artistry in all areas of life, yield an original creation, and transform us as individuals.

Of Revelation, Illusions and the Parallel Processes of Writing and Discovery…
Posted by Anjuelle Floyd | Filed under ... anjuellefloyd ..., Articles & Essays
Revelation plays an important role in constructing and/or assembling the middle section of a novel.
Revelation also encompasses the uncovering of truth of what has always stood present, but remained hidden by strong held illusions and beliefs.
Stories and novels stand upon revelations, ones that sustain the cause-and-effect events that comprise, most particularly, the plot of a novel and that lead towards crisis and onto climax. Read the rest of this entry…

My Writing ‘Process’ by Elle Pedersen
Posted by Anjuelle Floyd | Filed under ... anjuellefloyd ..., Articles & Essays, Why Do I Write ...
———————————————–
My mum rang me for my birthday a couple of weeks ago.
She had found my old intermediate school reports – most of my teachers said the same thing: “Elle is very good with her writing and reading but disrupts lessons in class and upsets her classmates.”
Hmmmm – so basically I’m a pain in the ar*e who can read and write – explains why I write.
Working full-time as a palliative care nurse for the past seven years, I’ve rediscovered my inner-child, revisited all the things I dreamed about as a kid.
I don’t think there’s one single person on this earth that hasn’t felt alone and afraid.
When you are able to describe very intense emotions/feelings that you have felt personally – in any form of literature and other people can relate – that is pretty awesome. Read the rest of this entry…

Of E-books, Royalties and Taking Charge of Finances…

Surma tribe kid with flowers decoration - Omo Ethiopia by Eric Lafforgue
Surma tribe kid with flowers decoration – Omo Ethiopia a photo by Eric Lafforgue on Flickr.
Unless a publisher can provide strong marketing and distribution, I cannot see where they have earned 75% of royalties from electronic book sales.
In the past, when books only came in hard/paperback, publishers could justify their actions in that they paid the bill on having copies of our books printed up.
Now with Amazon stating that Kindle sales of books out number those of hard/paperback 150:100 publisher must rethink the service they are providing authors.
Authors too, must become more business savvy. Read the rest of this entry…

Interview | Book Reviewer, Roxanne Loop
Posted by Anjuelle Floyd | Filed under Articles and Essays, Book Reviewer, Guest blog, Interview
1. Tell a little about yourself.
My name is Roxanne and I received my B.A. in English from Sierra Nevada College.
I run the blog Unintentionally Brilliant, which is mostly filled with my daily meanderings, but also features book reviews.
In “real life” I work as an administrative assistant for an environmental consulting firm in Reno, NV.
I’m mother to a four-year-old who provides a lot of humorous (and sometimes poignant) entries for the blog.
2. How did you come to reviewing fiction?
I was actually looking for something to post about one day, and I had just finished reading this fantastic book called This is Where We Live.
I decided to review it on my site.
I had so much fun doing so, I decided to make book reviews a semi-regular appearance on the blog.
I started off reviewing books that I picked up from the library, and have recently started querying publishers and authors for review copies.
3. How long have you been reviewing fiction?
I have always been the type of person to recommend books to friends. In this way, I have been a reviewer for a very long time. But in regards to the blog and writing physical reviews, I have only been reviewing fiction since September, so six months.
4. Are you a writer? If so what genre? Have you ever considered writing? Read the rest of this entry…

I started off reviewing books that I picked up from the library, and have recently started querying publishers and authors for review copies.
3. How long have you been reviewing fiction?
I have always been the type of person to recommend books to friends. In this way, I have been a reviewer for a very long time. But in regards to the blog and writing physical reviews, I have only been reviewing fiction since September, so six months.

1. Tell a little about yourself.
My name is Roxanne and I received my B.A. in English from Sierra Nevada College.
I run the blog Unintentionally Brilliant, which is mostly filled with my daily meanderings, but also features book reviews.
In “real life” I work as an administrative assistant for an environmental consulting firm in Reno, NV.
I’m mother to a four-year-old who provides a lot of humorous (and sometimes poignant) entries for the blog.
2. How did you come to reviewing fiction?
I was actually looking for something to post about one day, and I had just finished reading this fantastic book called This is Where We Live.
I decided to review it on my site.
I had so much fun doing so, I decided to make book reviews a semi-regular appearance on the blog.
I started off reviewing books that I picked up from the library, and have recently started querying publishers and authors for review copies.

For anyone who has been eager to push their novel onto the world without taking a cooling off period read this blog post, an interview Meg Waite Clayton of SheWrites.com conducted with Eleanor Brown, author of Weird Sisters.
The lines that really touched me were, “…I knew it wasn’t as good as it could have been. I knew it had inconsistencies and plot holes big enough to drive a bus through and was in desperate need of a few months of lying fallow while I worked on something else and then came back to it with fresh eyes and an honest heart. But I had set some ridiculous deadline for myself, and I think I knew, deep down, that it was going to be hard, hard work to whip that baby into shape, and I just couldn’t face it. ...” –Eleanor Brown (When Your 1st Book Is Not Your First)

Why Do I Write and What Is My Process | Kelly Gooltz

______________________________________________
Why do I Write?
by Kelly Gooltz
The opportunity to explain that to a group of other wonderful women SHOULD elicit excitement but it has me wondering and searching for how best to answer it.
Am I a writer? What is the purpose of all this?
I toggle between multiple blogs, as many of you may know. It is always so hard to know and define the purpose of all this time, effort, and energy in tangible ways.
My family blog serves a definite purpose; it provides first and foremost a manner in which I and my immediate family (Bob & kids) a way to remember our life, appreciate what we have and reflect upon our current and past blessings. Read the rest of this entry…
