I have a full page filled with random comments and notes from my Workshop with Bausch on Wednesday.
We talked about clever bumper stickers: "Save the Whales" + "No Nukes" = Nuke the Whales
Then it became a 1970s adventure as he told us about how "I found it" turned into "I fondled it"and his favorite Nixon-era "Impeach the Cox-Sacker" (I really like that one too!)
He read the "Invalid's Story" by Mark Twain. There was snickering around the room throughout--what a hilarious tale!
(Which led into a conversation about the "Jumping Frog" story--as I called it. No one else knew it--kids today!)
Guess who has read The Great Gatsby 36 times?
I nearly fell out of my chair! I told him about reading it for the first time over the summer and my extreme love for F. Scott and how I have been collecting used copies even though Tender is the Night is my favorite...at least somebody gets me!
He suggested that we write a story from the point of view of someone 25 years older than we actually are AND the opposite gender. I'll have to try that.
Inspirational Quote of the Class:
"Write like all Hell! I mean, Why not?"

- I've jumped back into writing poetry. They are short, they are quick--but they are happening (in the middle of the night, no less)
- I finally slept for eight hours last night (it was Benadryl-induced)
- I switched from grapefruit lemongrass to cucumber green tea...we'll see if anyone can smell the difference. I LOVE IT!
