Haters Gonna Hate, Lydia Oxenhamn

Erma Bombeck Writers' Workshop Blog

By luck and delusion, I've had a few humor pieces published on the internet over the last few months. It is exciting and thrilling and crippling all at once. Whenever a new piece is accepted, my husband takes me out for an ice-cream cone or a See's candy -- if I had known being good at writing meant free dessert, I would have hustled harder sooner. I'm like Pavlov's dog but with chocolate and fame. But I knew to beware the haters.

You Can, Right?, Jim Hands

Erma Bombeck Writers' Workshop Blog

I think for me the mantra "You can write!" comes across as "You can, right?" Meaning that I always wondered whether I could make people laugh on the page and the stage outside of the classroom. Perhaps a challenge. I don't know exactly, still mulling that over.

In Defense Of Thanksgiving, Jase Graves

Erma Bombeck Writers' Workshop Blog

Today, too many Americans consider Thanksgiving as a mere speedbump on the way to Christmas, a chance to fuel up for Black Friday, when they'll need their energy to cage-fight each other for an Instant Pot shaped like R2-D2 or a television the size of Guam.

The Medieval Best-Seller: Part I, Jillian M. Ewalt

Marian Library Faculty Publications

In a recent New York Times article, Tina Jordan explored books and authors that appeared on the best-seller list 25, 50 and 75 years ago. In 1993, there were plenty of familiar names (at least to me) like John Grisham, Stephen King and Anne Rice. Go back in time a little further to 1968, and Charles Portis’ True Grit was topping the charts (Coen brothers’ remake, anyone?). In 1943, Ayn Rand came in at No. 9 with The Fountainhead.
