[...] But with this difference—The poetics must generate music first, whereas the primary in story is STORY—the tale. English is so rich in homophones—TALE-TAIL and so powerful with its minimal pairs (PEARS,PARES)—bit/bet; sit/set; time/tame—that rime of that kind is a parody. But listen to the harmony of RIME of that KIND—itself an accident which gives a quotidian and mundane line some music—showing once again that the goal of our writing is first music, then grace.

Hi Jack, The 3 Old Ladies met yesterday and shared writings. Then we spent 5 minutes on “I made this decision because…” It will become part of the memoir I am working on.

Mary Ann: this is great, bringing Janet into the process with you. Keep me up to date on your progress. Questions will be answered. Is the pamphlet helpful at all? Tips for the Committed Novelist? Are you using the clock for your writing sessions? That kitchen timer is the key. J

Hi Jack, Happy Birthday!
Marilyn, Janet and I met yesterday for our writing group. Janet was unable to attend your workshop, but we wanted to share with her so we started with several timed writings. We worked nonstop for about an hour which is pretty long for three old ladies. We are going to do more at our next meeting coming prepared with descriptions of our characters. Finally we are all feeling more focused.

Mary Ann: It was a good experience all the way–I’m impressed with the tenacity of the St. George writers. You handled everything I threw at you and as the day developed, I heard the writing kick up to new levels. Thank you for making the day a slam bang success. J

Jack, I just wanted to say a big thank you for your presentation in St George on Saturday. It killed my shoulder, but WOW, the experience was great!
