What’s the world coming to: Entitlement

Posted on February 17, 2011 by beverlymagid in Beverly's Blog

You see it all the time, a car cuts you off, tailgates behind you, a pedestrian is too busy on the phone to walk across the street or even give you a moment’s notice, in today’s paper, someone cut down an old revered oak tree, why not they thought, I’m entitled. Whatever people do, is […]

Second draft blues

Posted on January 24, 2011 by beverlymagid in Beverly's Blog

I’m not sure how other writers handle it, but the second draft of my second novel is so much harder than the first one. The first, for me, concerns story, so you’re lay out the skeleton of the book, deciding who lives or dies or loves or seeks revenge. So far, good. But in the […]

Writing in Public Spaces

Posted on January 12, 2011 by beverlymagid in Beverly's Blog

While I really miss having a workshop, an alternative which really spurs the creative juices is writing in a public place, ie a coffee shop. Once a month a writing buddy and I meet and for a couple of hours forget about 2nd drafts that have put me in the doldrums or why-am-I-doing-it-in-the-first-place-blues. You decide […]

We’ve Lost Debbie Friedman

Posted on January 10, 2011 by beverlymagid in Beverly's Blog

Yesterday was both sad and hopeful. Debbie Friedman, a force for healing and peace in the Jewish music world died much too soon. Her music brought us comfort, prayer and a closeness to a divine power all set to melodies which caused your heart to cry, to love, to heal. Her negum (melodies) are used […]

A New Year, A New Blog

Posted on January 7, 2011 by beverlymagid in Beverly's Blog

It’s a new year and I’ve decided to start the blog again. This time I won’t expect anyone to follow it, it will just be my personal occasional comments on what I see. Sort of like the diary I kept when I was fourteen. I only did it for six weeks, but when I look […]

Susan Boyle, It’s All Wrong

Posted on April 20, 2009 by beverlymagid in Beverly's Blog

I’m a little late to jump on the bandwagon over Susan Boyle, but I’m not interested in talking about how I teared up when I heard her sing, or whether or not she’s real or a hoax perpertrated on the world of YouTube. My concern is the cruelty that was extended to her, the sneers, […]

Birthday by the sea

Posted on March 30, 2009 by beverlymagid in Beverly's Blog

I’m not quite a Pisces, I’m right on the cusp of Aires, but the ocean (actually any moving body of water) is like a meditation to me. Never learned to swim well, become panicked if my feet don’t touch the bottom, but put me next to the surf or overlooking a fast-moving river and I […]

Enjoy your freedom

Posted on March 26, 2009 by beverlymagid in Beverly's Blog

It’s been an eon since I last posted and since then we’ve had an ecconomic meltdown, the world is obsessed with Twitter and texting, friends have lost their jobs, I’m financially down and yet this morning I am smiling and feeling good. Am I crazy? Maybe. But at times like these, the mere fact that […]
