Reading Marrying Kind after hearing K L Cook read from the book at Pages & Pints ⁦@apollopizza⁩ . These stories are great!

@sarapayy By the way, I first workshopped an early version of "Lucy's Wake" at K-State! "Naked Ladies" also was crafted for a class there.

@sarapayy I really see the "you" as each character's addressing of herself, her own demons and regrets. I think the best second person narratives has a dissociative effect. Pam Houston calls it the Ashamed I.

@sarapayy I'm so happy that you read my book and that you enjoyed it!

[Julie C. Hensley @HensleyWriter]

@sarapayy All of the above. I began writing separate stories, and my mentor Melissa Pritchard helped me recognize connections. Then I was able to create connections organically, and that sped up the process. I did a lot of mapping at the end to keep it all straight.

[Julie C. Hensley @HensleyWriter]

@sarapayy I love a good peripheral narrative. When a narrator puts all the emphasis on someone else's drama, they are almost always not confronting their own drama. The question of their "through story" becomes important.

.@KentuckyPress has a history of publishing award-winning books that highlight Kentucky's history. So important that @KYSenateDems and @KYSenateGOP maintain funding.
