Hot Off the Press

Greetings,

I haven’t posted in a year or more. I’ve gone through a divorce, two major house moves, published My Dreams Come True Journal and I have A Writer’s Guide for the Next Level in the editing stage at my publisher.

Visit Amazon to see the full cover of the journal. My designer and I worked hard to get it right. https://amzn.to/3UlvZxk

Also, I’m preparing to launch a podcast. I’ll let you know when it’s live with tips, prompts, and quotes for inspiration and techniques for better writing.

Watch for JK Writing Cafe. With digital magic we will broadcast from various locations around the world while we drink our favorite lattes or teas.

In the meantime, this journal that is on Amazon can show you how to achieve your dreams for your business or your personal goals. The flower borders on each page can be colored as you muse.  Take a look at https://amzn.to/3UlvZxk

I hope you are having a great beginning in 2024.

Julaina Kleist (My name no longer has hyphen Corwin added)

Grace Paley, a “combative pacifist and a cooperative anarchist”

 

 

In an interesting article written by Leora Skolkin-Smith, she states: “Grace Paley was a known pacifist and, also, a famous short story-writer. She enjoyed being referred to as a “combative pacifist and a cooperative anarchist”.

“Grace Paley was not extreme in either her pacifism or her sense of government as reliably unreliable in the governing of the “Little Disturbances of Man” (the title of her most famous short story collection). She lived within the law, gracefully and with moral direction, though she protested and therefore refused to pay war taxes at times.”

Thanks to John Clarke for sharing this article on Facebook.

 

To the members of my writing class, don’t you love the description of a “combative pacifist and a cooperative anarchist”?  Can anyone think of other contrasting adjectives to describe a character?
