Please switch "Ryan and Nickoli" with "Waffles and Chatty Cathy."


Both "Waffles and Chatty Cathy" and "Ryan and Nickoli" were updated

Thanks

Thank you for coming to speak to us on Thursday. I found what you told us to be informative, and inspiring. You answered a lot of my questions (quite literally), and I thought it was cool that you spent the time to actually figure out the Capitol Metro bus system to be able to come down here. That is a feat in of itself that many people from here don't even know how to do. I'll definantly keep my eyes open now to find more inspiration.

Witch-Wife
by Edna St. Vincent Millay

She is neither pink nor pale,
And she never will be all mine;
She learned her hands in a fairy-tale,
And her mouth on a valentine.

She has more hair than she needs;
In the sun `tis a woe to me!
And her voice is a string of coloured beads,
Or steps leading into the sea.

She loves me all that she can,
And her ways to my ways resign;
But she was not made for any man,
And she never will be all mine.


I like how she is aware the woman isn't hers, yet she speaks of her as if she is. She makes the subect of the poem sound like a doll, made of this thing or that thing "not made for any man" but yet "she never will be all mine." It's short and sweet and to the point, but you can see a much longer story that may lie underneath.

Questions for Eddie

In the article for your play "Lucky", you mentioned people shouldn't need to put a label on themseves sexually, especially when they're young because they may later have to go back and change that label. How much of this attitude translates into all of your works, if it does appear in everything that you write?


Is there a piece of work that you've started that by the end of it not only was it the story you wanted, but it actually was a decent piece of writing? Was it something that was published?


Where is the one place you suggest that every writer should go at least once to try and gain some inspiration for their works?
