I'm currently obsessed with Dorothy Parker. I am in the middle of two books of her short stories and a biograhy about her life.
I admire her wit and strong sense of self. Despite the fact that she was a drunk and lacked self-discipline, she produced some great work.
I would like to try copying a piece by her as a writing exercise. In fact, I think I will do that. I will do it this Saturday and let you know how it goes on Monday.
Thought of the Day: Why not?
Interesting. I just heard an interview with an author who did just that -- copied one piece of writing he admired each week for 18 months until he found his own voice. Blessings on your journey, Kathryn.
