If You Want to Write

If you want to write, you won't; if you need to write, you will. Well, that's the thoughtoid du jour. Light blogging this week as I've been working on the new novel at Nirvana on Earth, I mean, Virginia Center for the Creative Arts... and now must grapple with my karma: a Mount Everest of unanswered e-mail.

Events: Library of Congress Roundtable on Translating Poetry this Friday, Fall for the Book reading with Pam Jeff this Saturday, and the one day only Dialogue Intensive workshop at the Writers Center in Bethesda MD this Sunday. Full info about the whole enchilada here. More anon.

P.S. If you need to write, check out Giant Golden Buddha & 364 More Five Minute Writing Exercises.

BookCast: Podcast interview by Sam Clay with Pam Jenoff and C.M. Mayo


Apropos of our upcoming "Fall for the Book" reading, Pam Jenoff (Almost Home) and I (The Last Prince of the Mexican Empire) did a BookCast interview with Sam Clay on writing historical fiction. Listen in.

Our reading will be on Saturday September 26, 2009 @ 3 pm in the Patrick Henry Library, 101 Maple Avenue East, Vienna, VA 22180

P.S. I also did a "Fall for the Book" text interview for David Heath, about the Washingtonian history and original research behind the novel, which is based on the true story of Agustin de Iturbide y Green and Mexico's Second Empire. Read it on-line here.
