Capote’s “A Christmas Memory,” a return to his Alabama boyhood, is my favorite short story of all time. It was first published in now defunct Mademoiselle magazine in December 1956. Book link from here.
I’ve been planning to enter a short story contest. The deadline is two days away (Saturday). I started the story, but...
Calling on the spirits of some of my favorite writers--Truman Capote, Joan Didion, Sylvia Plath, O. Henry, Flannery O’Connor, not to compare myself to their greatness, but because I admire it--to help and inspire me.
Not operating in a cloud of sugar and carbs should lend me clarity. I made myself write this latest Medium post yesterday so I could clear the air, not carry guilt and shame about overeating, or what I was trying to hide underneath it. Even though I spent the bulk of the day on Addiction Recovery writing, at least it was still writing, the craft I need to call on.
