Can Grammar Be Fun?

LRR, February 25, 2015February 8, 2025

All is (almost) quiet on the LRR front after a barrage of colorful pens took to the rough draft of the journal in class last night. As students and as aspiring writers, we are used to the concept of editing and proofreading. We know the basic rules, we have learned…

The Parts That Stay, Recommendations

LRR, February 23, 2015February 8, 2025

There are certain pieces of writing that I have for one reason or another returned to. This list of writings is embarrassing, probably juvenile and ill explained. However, there is still merit in the stepping stones of the random pieces of literature, I’ve used them as handholds, or they have…

LRR, February 22, 2015February 8, 2025

As each day brings us closer to the April 16th opening of UConn’s Senior Show, illustrator and animator Nicole Horsman is drawing feathery clocks. They’re for her senior project, which is an incredible feat of animation using traditional media: pens, paint, and film. For character development, Nicole looked to her…

Why I am Thankful for Fanfiction

LRR, February 21, 2015February 8, 2025

In light of the attention Fifty Shades has been getting lately, many media outlets have been conversing upon the fact that it started as Twilight fanfiction. With the online publishing changing the way writing is traditionally done, there are discussions about the legality of who owns the fan work —…

The Writing on the Wall

LRR, February 20, 2015February 8, 2025

Most word-lovers I know, myself included, have the same habit: collecting quotes. Whether it be two lines from a poem or something a professor said in class, taking those words out of context and into one’s own life is important. I’ve been “living” in the same studio space in the…

The Foundation of Writing: Community

LRR, February 19, 2015February 8, 2025

My unrelenting desire to label the millennial generation brings us to a split-level apartment on a Main Street block in Northeastern Connecticut. About a dozen people haphazardly form a circle in the living room. In the center of the room, a goldfish in a glass bowl is suspended from a…

A Brief Glimpse into Nantucket’s Literary History

LRR, February 18, 2015February 8, 2025

“The air of Nantucket comes into your face and eyes as if it was glad to see you. The moon comes here as if it was at home, but there is no shade” – Ralph Waldo Emerson As an avid traveler (and reader!), one of my favorite pastimes is discovering…

Debunking the Myths Why You Can’t Write

LRR, February 16, 2015February 8, 2025

    We’ve all been through this phase, where we invent excuses to justify why we don’t write. The words just won’t come out, and we tell ourselves it’s not our fault, that there are forces beyond our control at play. This is the first myth we tell ourselves, because…

L(RR) is for…

LRR, February 14, 2015February 8, 2025

Warning: It’s that time of year. You already know what this post is about. ( Since there’s been love, and language of course, there have been words, infinite words, written about love.  In fact, many would argue that love is one of, if not the, most pervasive topic in literature….

hint fiction (n) : a story of 25 words or fewer that suggests a larger, more complex story

LRR, February 11, 2015February 8, 2025

Hint fiction, a genre that has been around since the beginning of story-telling, has made a great comeback on the literary scene, thanks in large part to one of my all-time favorite books, titled, aptly, hint fiction: An Anthology of Stories in 25 Words or Fewer edited by Robert Swartwood….
