July 23 / 6:29 / SWC ~ Week 8 and Interview w/ Paula Messina
It’s Week 8 of the Summer Writing Challenge. Eight is symbolic
of two disparate meanings: 1] almost to completion, when completion is symbolic
10, and 2] a step beyond perfection, as 7 is the perfect number.
We’re not perfect. We’re not even a step before, let
alone beyond. We do try.
After a Quick Tip on the 2 Requirements for Every Story, we
have our interview with writer Paula Messina. Closing, as usual, is the Check-In.
Paula Messina grew up on the site
of the Ursuline convent and school destroyed by a violent, hate-filled mob on
August 11 and 12, 1834. She writes contemporary, historical, and humorous
fiction and essays.
Her work has appeared in various
publications, including Black Cat Weekly, Devil’s Snare, Wolfsbane,
Indelible Literary and Arts Journal, and Ovunque Siamo. She is
writing a novel set in Boston’s North End during 1944. She does not own a cat.
Let’s begin.
