During a dinner I had with Jay Udall, he said, "Writing poetry is dancing with the dwende," a line that has stuck with me since. Beyond just poetry, any creative act is ultimately based in the idea of reaching out and touching the mythical, of embracing the unknown and unknowable. This blog is about the dance.

Speaking of Queries
I just read a nifty thing about pitching your novel. It's a guide on how to take your whole novel and boil it down to a log line in a useful way. Check it out: How to Put It Together Into One Neat Tweet.
Good question, Camii. I'm thinking my Cass tweet deserves a post of its own, once I write it. I'm buckling down on my thesis preface right now, so it'll have to wait a couple of days.
As for Oracle, well, I've been thinking I might be ready to pick it up again after I run Cass through the CWC.

That's pretty awesome and helpful!
So what's yours for Cass, Ali? Or for *sniffle* the abandoned Oracle?

Pick it up! Pick it up! You have to at least finish Oracle....
Yes, please!
And you need something to work on while we're looking at Cass.
Thanks so much for the tip.
