By Jeff Kurrus I wrote and re-wrote two hours this morning on the turkey essay, and not once did the word “hate” enter the text. Which drew me to think about the things I truly hate: the prevent defense, twisting my ankles, and burnt porkchops. But turkeys never came to …
Yesterday evening I encountered a good problem to have. When I posted about my work thus far for my turkey hunting essay, something didn’t ring true with the words I had written. I thought I had written something else about these birds. Then I found those words. I will include …
For most of you, this blog may be worthless. For many of you have no desire to learn about the writing process from me, much less anyone else. But I do feel as if there is some relevance, on the NEBRASKAland blog, of how a story comes together for at …
