Peeling a sulfur-rich onion is painful, literally and figuratively. The layers, so weighted down by flavonoids, can be slow moving. We have been eating some delicious soup these days, but my corneas are burned, along with my fortress built of furnace filters. It seems there is no choice now but to concede to my own vulnerability, to dig another fingernail under the translucent skin and pull. Until there is nothing but this rich core. Exposed. Ready to be caramelized.
And by the way, my wee sweet onion, where are you?
and to think i've watched those hands create designs like this.
remember the recent one of kj and her first date with the black and white chicken? remember how she wore those john lennon glasses and a birthday hat that matched the chicken's?
i'm veering off subject. okay, i'm serious now. this is such good use of the prompt. imaginative. metaphoric. and to any one who's little heart struggles to stay shut sometimes,closing the book on bad stories makes alot of sense.

A few days ago, I wrote of my new role with readergirlz, as author in residence. Today readergirlz is rolling out my first writing vlog, which is titled Remain Vulnerable. Visit the readergirlz blog and watch the video. Then participate, if you choose, in the writing contest we outline there. The winner will receive a signed copy of Undercover.

Your video posts are wonderful and this one is no exception! I think I might turn it into a meme on my blog and lists the things that I feel vulnerable about.
I put the finishing touches on the Penn syllabus yesterday, then took my readings to that leafy campus to have them readied for Blackboard. I am teaching, as I have noted here, about vulnerability—about the ways in which we open ourselves and our words to the world. I am teaching heart and I am teaching craft, and Edith Wharton's words, here, inspire: As to experience, intellectual and moral, the creative imagination can make a little go a long way, provided it remains long enough in the mind and is sufficiently brooded upon. One good heart-break will furnish the poet with many songs, and the novelist with a considerable number of novels. But they must have hearts that can break.
I came home to a gorgeous review of Undercover by the phenomenal reviewer/reader known to so many as Booking Mama. She made me think, with her words, about the journey that I have taken since I began to write young adult novels a few years ago—about where I have gone with my characters, and what I, in writing The Heart is Not a Size (due out next March), decided to return to. Thank you, Booking Mama, for that.

And I am in love with the picture on the top of this post. I will (hopefully, if bureaucratic stuff all goes well) be taking a writing class at Penn too, taught by Melissa Jensen. Your students will be lucky to have you as a professor. :)
