Wordbabble Blog: Exploring the Use & Abuse of Words

eyeball.JPGKaitlyn Wierzchowski writes a fascinating blog, sure to delight logophiles. (Don’t fret–there’s nothing illicit going on. Logophile simply and literally means “a person who loves words”.) Even those who may not have a preoccupation with semantics will find something interesting on Kaitlyn’s page. She explains that:

“My obsession with words has plagued me throughout my life. I always want to know why we use the words we do and where the heck they came from. I have a major in English…so you catch my drift.”

Head over to her page and check it out.

In-Depth Writing Critique Session

KWGThe Kenosha Writers’ Guild will be holding an in-depth writing critique session on Thursday, February 11th at 6:30 p.m. at Carolyn’s Coffee Connection. This event is open to the public, although work to be critiqued must be submitted ahead of time. If you’re interested in having your work read and discussed, please contact board member Chris DeGuire (darthdeguire@yahoo.com) for submission guidelines. People who would just like to read and critique are also welcome, but should contact Chris DeGuire so that pieces to be read can be sent before the Thursday session. More information about the Guild can also be found at www.kenoshawritersguild.com.

bending light into verse
every picture tells a story
By Jennifer L. Tomaloff

This book began as a simple photo book with an experimental side and the idea that every picture tells a story, or at least should.

The experimental side entailed sending each of the writers included in this book a series of photographs, with the intent that they might write a short piece inspired in some way by each of the photos they were assigned. Every one of the writers included here gladly rose to the opportunity and far exceeded all expectations; every photograph was returned, each picture telling its story.

Contributors: Nicholas Michael Ravnikar, Ed Makowski, David Tomaloff, Matt Specht, Dana Roders, Jenny Bootle, Lisa Adamowicz Kless, and Nick Demske.

The book is available @ BLURB.
