Valentine’s Day

A Valentine to writing (and the moment)

February 14, 2010 / Angela Meyer (LiteraryMinded) / 4 Comments

I want to say: don't make yourself small. Then, the temptation to make your world bigger when it should be honed. Other people's pain that will become stories. Pain to come. People picking things off you, and censorship (it's not about you).

I Do it For Love

February 14, 2009 / Angela Meyer (LiteraryMinded) / 3 Comments

New job!! Delighted to report that today I start a fixed-term full-time contract as a lecturer in RMIT’s well-regarded Master of Writing and Publishing. I’m excited to work with Tracy O’Shaughnessy, Rose Michael & others, and look forward to meeting the students. With my small research component I will continue my work on sustainability in the Aus book industry 😊📚🌳
Pizza Girl 🍕 by Jean Kyoung Frazier. Gobbled this up. A young, pregnant pizza girl is drawn to an older woman who orders a pepperoni with pickles for her son. It’s a book about a young woman coping with overwhelming change & responsibility before she’s really had a chance to decide what her life might look like. She’s cared for and cared about but she has an undeniable drive toward escapism, toward more or something *else*, and it’s somewhere between an urge to destroy and one to nurture. The presence of her alcoholic father, now dead, looms large. It’s tightly written, a sympathetic and satisfying read.
