Comment on photographs as writing prompts by Sara J

Finally catching up on blogs – my Google reader shows Oct 7 post on Karen Armstrong’ book, but this blog doesn’t show it. Is it gone? Did you like the book? I’m making a list of things to read when I retire – Ha! Right now I’m going to read the evening paper and then some of a book about Mary Oliver and nature – the God of Dirt, I think it’s called.

Discourse requires subjectivity acknowledging itself as such, rather than as something more. I recommend the following post: http://deligentia.wordpress.com/2009/11/03/objective-vs-subjective-a-matter-of-biblical-hyperbole/

Hi, Bill.
Yes, I did get the course. But, to be honest, I got too busy and haven’t yet listened to more than about a half an hour of it.

I too am interested in a used copy of just the Part 2 book. I don’t need the DVD or the audio version. I really liked Part 1 and need part two without spending $ 40. Thanks.

Comment on spiritual rhetoric, verbing, commonplacing, blogging is languishing by Sara Jameson

Sara Jameson — Tue, 09 Jun 2009 00:39:10 +0000

I like commonplacing as the word for what we do and what we wish we did more of – maybe we can tag onto Vicki’s quote above – the extraordinary call at some moment of every day – something we can tack onto. Listen, share, love the things you notice and the audience you share them with.

Comment on “Thoreau kindles awareness” (Thoreau does it again!) by Haley Henderson

Haley Henderson — Mon, 11 May 2009 09:24:17 +0000

Of coarse, you see by writing about somthing that was daring for someone my age i was rewarded and got an amazing positive reaction from someone else. It all works out I guess, and youre right no peice of pivotal literature should be barred from a teens mind!

It this is somthing you continually research (thoreau and others like him) please keep me in mind when you find other good articles!

Comment on “Thoreau kindles awareness” (Thoreau does it again!) by Laura

Haley,
Thanks so much for commenting! I was thrilled to see just now that you had commented.

I’m saddened that anyone would think Thoreau or any dense topic is not appropriate for a teenager. Crazy.

One reason I felt especially drawn to your essay was that it reminded me of my own experience when I was your age — I had begun to read Thoreau, and he sparked and influenced my thinking (and my writing) in all kinds of ways. So I felt a kinship with you.

Good luck in your studies! And keep reading the juicy dense stuff. :)

Thanks again for commenting!
Laura

Laura-
Thank you for enjoying my article

My parents got a load of negative energy from adults thinking I was out of mind writing about the “dense” topic of transcendentalism and how philosophy wasnt an appropriate topic for a teenager to grapple with.

I am so unspeakably honored to have someone recognized the timeless effect great thinkers have on people only if you allow yourself the time to be inspired and moved. Doesnt matter the age!

Thank you.

Whoever S. is theyre right. I attend Seattle University and I am an International Business and Marketing major-
writing will always have its place !

As a professional writer, and English teacher, I recommend this course without reservation. Landon approaches the subject from a writer’s perspective, not a grammarians. The lectures are clear and logical, the exercises at the end of each lesson germane to learning the techniques described. He also offers a plethora of opportunities to continue your study with referrals to language thinkers such as Richard Lanham and Edgar Schuster. I wish he offered another course. This will help my writing and I have no doubt with help my PG students improve theirs.

Don’t quite know to whom I am writing, but have just bought Writing Theology Well to help with my Master’s Dissertation – it is wonderful, so clear defined for people like me – a Biochemist/ writer/ minister/ High school teacher.

Thank you – MB.

Comment on beginning working bibliography for Lit Tech Culture paper by Laura

Laura — Fri, 23 Jan 2009 05:06:42 +0000

I just realized, Quentin, that the book I got from Interlibrary Loan today is one of yours: Christianity and the Mass Media in America — and that THAT’s why your name sounded a little familiar. I can be a little slow on the uptake. :)
I just listened to your NPR interview (off your blog: http://www.quentinschultze.com/2009/01/high-tech-worship-interview.html). I’m writing my thesis on religion in the writing classroom, and this seminar paper on SOMEthing to do with technology in the writing classroom (and something hopefully related to religion — so’s this paper can fit into my thesis somehow), and your books look helpful. Thanks again.

Hi, Quentin.
It’s “Writing 595: Language, Technology, and Culture” at Oregon State University taught by Lisa Ede. Great, great course. Here’s our course blog, if you’re interested: http://blog.cmc.oregonstate.edu/mtblogs/lisa/
Thanks — I’ll definitely check out your book. Looks interesting!
Glad you found my post.
