Dear Ask and Ye Shall Receive,

Posted by Barely Knit Together on Sep 19, 2009 in Embarrassing Moments, Writing

I just submitted my blog for your analysis the other day, and realized too late I’ve made a grave mistake.
First of all, that damn little box that asks us “who we are” is ridiculously filled with a few sentences that probably have little to do with who I am. I mean, when someone you’ve never [...]

Brautigan

Posted by Barely Knit Together on Sep 8, 2009 in A Bit on the Dark Side, Creative Nonfiction, Writing

This is a piece from my “creative” blog.  I have no idea why I initially separated the work. Perhaps because that other stuff is darker, less conversational.  It could continue to stand alone as a short fiction piece or it might be the beginning of a longer story. We shall see.

Blink

Posted by Barely Knit Together on Sep 3, 2009 in Creative Nonfiction, Writing

I climb the steps to the bridge overlooking the river, out of breath and empty after my run. The water here is a shallow, pebbled flow, fifty feet below a platform that sits on an old railroad support.  I know this water, this river, like I know the sound of my name.  My heart beats [...]

Where We Go From Here

Posted by Barely Knit Together on Sep 1, 2009 in Writing

Dearest Friends,
After pursuing, luring and wooing you to my blog over the last year, I find myself now in a state of flux, of directionless wandering. I premised this site on my own dysfunction, my conjunction junction, my joie de viva Las Vegas, but now I feel I am pulled in too many directions and [...]

If You Want My Body (of work), And You Think I’m A Good Writer

Posted by Barely Knit Together on Aug 26, 2009 in Writing

Come on, sugar. Let me know.
I have entered a contest to win fabulous prizes and a luxury vacation! Well, it’s fairly luxurious. And it’s in Utah!  I’ve never been west of Avon, Ohio, and that was for a business trip to a hazardous waste treatment plant, so you can imagine my excitement about the possibility [...]

People Are Idiots, Part 437

Posted by Barely Knit Together on Jul 31, 2009 in People Are Idiots

I keep hearing this term “mommy blogger” bandied about lately, and it makes my breasts want to shrivel up and hide. Mommy. Blogger.
And probably many of the writers out there who blog and are moms kind of feel the same way – it sounds so vacuous, like the empty womb my super-sized children vacated.
But apparently, [...]

The Incredible Shrinking Blogger

Posted by Barely Knit Together on Jun 21, 2009 in Writing

Ha! Don’t I wish!
No, folks, I don’t mean my waist line.  That would be great, but I’m actually talking about the blog itself.
See, I have a problem.  I spend way too much time writing and commenting around WordPress, and not nearly enough time on other things. Like say, sleeping. Writing things that might make money [...]

It's "I Need Therapy" Thursday

Posted by Barely Knit Together on May 13, 2009 in A Bit on the Dark Side, Mental Stability, Writing

I’m busy chopping up pieces of paper and trying to assemble something like a coherent story, or a set of notecards, or at least some coasters from it, and in the mean time, I am SUCKING like a suckling pig sucks on an apple, or maybe more like a sucking chest wound.
Between teaching myself HTML [...]

God Save the Bream

Posted by Barely Knit Together on May 4, 2009 in People Are Idiots, Writing

Ok, I admit it.  The title has nothing at all to do with this post.  In fact, it has little meaning beyond being a play on the title of a song.  The reference will be understood by only a few privileged folk, and I hope the version of the song that first comes to mind [...]
