Hello Fellow Writers! Yesterday I got my word count up to 10,084. I haven't been sleeping much (not because I'm writing, because of the baby!) and right now all I want to do is nap, not write. But my sister-in-law is in town so this may be the only time I have to write today, and I need to get up to ...

Joyce Carol Oates en 1973 À en juger par la somme de ses livres, environ soixante-dix, on sait que Joyce Carol Oates est prolifique. A croire qu’elle vit dans et pour l’écriture, que chaque instant de son existence est consacré à son œuvre, qu’un seul but l’anime : les mots. Pour s’en faire une idée ...

The novel is an untitled manuscript by aging academic Genna Mead about her freshman year at Schuyler College with her Af ...

book by Joyce Carol Oates annotation by Diana Woods I found Oates’ collection of fictional stories about the last days of Poe, Dickenson, Twain, James and Hemingway to be creative and engaging.

Inspired by Kevin From Canada’s coincidental choice of a “spooky” book Halloween week, I decided to finish Oates’s collection of “Tales of Mystery and Suspense” on Halloween. Some of the stories, like the title story, are quite creepy, while others are more psychologically suspenseful. My favorite b ...

Am reading “The Journal of Joyce Carol Oates”, or perhaps more correctly: “I am allowing myself to be devoured by…” The luxury of such an experience. True luxury that is. A quote from her March 22, 1978 entry: How quickly, how placidly, how invisibly the truly significant events in our life take pla ...
