COVER: Look! Look! Mommy can write!
Cover: Michael Dektas, from an idea by Lilia F. Brady.
Look! Look! Mommy Can Write!, by Ann Toland Serb. For every writer who has a house on the Cape and servants to shush the clatter of postmen delivering checks, there are thousands living in houses down the block or around the corner, resigned to the din of kids and postmen who bring bills. Ann Serb survives and seeks inspiration from a family that (after her 15 years of child-rearing) now recognizes her as a "working mother." Here she tells how she writes and why. Look! Look! Daddy's All Right! (page 19) rounds out the family's story.
James Jones Has Come Home to Whistle, by Michael S. Lasky. He was the "last boy" of legendary Scribner's editor Maxwell Perkins. And he grew up making all the obligatory trips of a famous writer: the sudden-fame trip, the American-in-Paris trip, even the university-teaching trip. Now James Jones is back home finishing a trilogy about World War II that Perkins helped set in motion 25 years ago. In Me and Mr. Jones (page 24), Lee Butcher provides a glimpse of the master's apprenticeship days.
How Do You Cure Writer's Block?, by Jerome E. Kelley. He was not born with a silver spoon in his mouth, but a substantial part of Kelley's writing fortune came from having one rammed down his throat. The story of that incident will knock your block off for good.
Biolines. WD's new column of profiles focuses this month on Michael Avallone, who has written about 170 books and who sounds off on critics, gothics, and Michael Avallone; and Lois Swann, who finished her first novel when her kids locked her into her room and piped in her favorite music.
The WD Annual Creative Writing Contest. The entries swarmed in -- 1,200 articles ... 1,800 short stories ... 2,000 poems ... in all, 5,000 affirmations of the power and glory of words. Now the judges tell you who won and why. Article Winners (page 41), Short Story Winners (page 44), and Poetry Winners (page 48).
Rejections: Reaping Between the Lines, by Rita M. Fuerst. Professional writers may weep, tear their hair, or shake their fists at the sky -- but they do not, the author warns, throw away or ignore their rejection slips. There's gelt in them thar jilts.
