West Coast Writers: Swelling Camellia Buds, 19th Small Stone

Welcome to West Coast Writers Blog wherever you're from!

Creative writing thoughts and schemes from a book author who enjoys both fiction and nonfiction, with a little poetry thrown in. Thoughts about writing a book, interviews with book authors, interviews with other writers, writing prompts, and thoughts about the writing life crop up here. In January, I participate in a River of Small Stones project, and in February, I run Alphabetaphilia on this site. See the pdf below for some of the great sentences produced in this year’s Alphabetaphilia. I'd love to hear your thoughts, and you can post as "anonymous" if you like, no need to register. I do moderate comments (with good cause, sadly), but I'm usually fast in posting what you've commented. I'm the author of memoir Breaking Through the Spiral Ceiling, available through Amazon.com. A free sample can be viewed below the postings on this blog.

Author interviews include Gayle Greene, June Maffin, Jean Baker, Lisa Solis DeLong, Eleanor Stoneham, Barbara Abercrombie, Madeline Sharples, Laura Hoopes (interviewed by Libby Grandy), Charles Strozier, Dorothy McMillan, Kathryn Wilkens, Jaime Becerra, Mike Foley, Ryan Forsythe, Gayle Brandeis (Live Wires ), Gayle Brandeis, Deb Martinson, Jia-Rui Chong Cook, Martha Ronk, Kay Murphy, Camille Minichino AKA Margaret Grace, Emily Rapp, Melissa Hart, Gordon Grice, Linley Erin Hall, Catherine Ipcizade, Maralys Wills, and Gillian Bagwell. Click on author name to go directly to the interview you're interested in reading. Other popular postings include comments on Obecht's novel The Tiger's Wife and a connection to an interview of Ellen Bass by Laura for Poetry International blog.

Swelling Camellia Buds, 19th Small Stone

The tall camellia bush beside the door is covered with fat, green buds, and one showing red along the top side as a promise for the future.
