Presidents MessageMini goalsTry Them OutTanya Grove

Theres a sign at my gym that says fitness programs should be SMART, which is anacronym for specific, measurable, attainable, relevant, and something that beginswith t. So as I was stretching out my triceps, I realized that just about any goalcould be approached this way.

I mean theres so much to do and only so much time to do it. It can all get to be sooverwhelming, cant it? If I started to list everything I wanted to get done in thenext year, I might throw my hands up and just head for the bar...

So Ive come up with something that works for me (so far, anyway). I keep in mind

my larger goals in life, but try not to think about them in a way that keeps themhanging around my neck, weighing me down. When I label something agoal, it gainsa gravitas that can be intimidating. But if I call it a mini-goal, it sounds more fun,like those bite-size candy bars.

Instead of promising to revise my early-grade reader, submit my middle-grade chap-ter book everywhere, write a daily blog, andwork on beefing up my platform, I de-cided to choose one project to focus on for a month. So, in honor of Poetry Month, Iam writing one poem a day. I decided not to give myself a minimum word count, butI committed to compose verse every day of April and post it on my blog.

And Ive been doing it. Even when I spent the weekend in Yosemite, I wrote and

posted poetry. In fact, my hike to Vernal Falls was prime fodder for a poem.

The poem-a-day concept is specificI write exactly one poem every day in April. Itscertainly measurableif Ive posted my daily blog post, then Im done. Apparently,its attainable because Ive been doing it. And its definitely relevant because I am,after all, a writer. (My business card says so.) Since I dont remember what the tstood for, I cant attest to how it rates on that scale. But four out of five is prettygood, yes?

Of course Poetry Month draws to a close, which means Ill have to come up with anew mini-goal thats just as SMART. But now I know I can do it.

Write Angles Page 3 of13Poetry PageFEATURED POET: Octavio PazAlysa Chadow

Octavio Paz (1914-1998) is considered one ofthe foremost of Latin American poets. Born inMexico City, he was raised by his paternalgrandfather and aunt after his fathers deathwhen Octavio was only a couple of years old.He spent a year in Los Angeles with his familyat the age of five. Influenced by such poets asD. H. Lawrence, he published his first poemwhen he was 17.

Paz attended the Colegio Williams in Mexicoand the University of California, Berkeley. Heserved as a charge daffaires in Tokyo and wasMexicos ambassador to India. In that countryhe encountered a group known as the HungryPoets, a collection of writers he helped bothfinancially and artistically.

Paz was a magazine editor and essayist as wellas a poet. His Labyrinth of Solitudedescribesthe condition of modern Mexico as few other

works have done. His epic poem, Sun Stone,written in 1957, chronicles his homeland in bothsurrealistic and existentialist terms, a result ofthe poetic influences with which he came incontact as a young man. He was awarded theNobel Prize in Literature in 1990.

Deer Park is a translation of a poem by the8th-century Chinese poet Wang Wei, and revealsa simple, almost minimalist side to Pazswriting:

In the Deer Park Hermitage

No people are seen on th is mountain.

Only voices, far-off are heard.

Light b reaks through the branches.

Spread among the grass, it sh ines green.

Write Angles Page 4 of13Pen PointsA Gathering of Writers:Among the TreesKarren Elsbernd

They came, the poets, the writers or just thecuriosity seekers, knocking on the door of TheAbbey seeking an audience with Joaquin Miller[Write Anglescover 11/2009]. Whether for inspi-ration or the novelty, they traveled long distan-ces to the Hight, his name for the property hestarted buying in 1886, acquiring up to seventy-five acres of a section of land in the Oaklandhills, then void of virgin redwood forests. Buthere, with a panoramic view of the Bay, he spentthe last twenty-five years of his life, a bohemian

life he continued to reinvent many times.

One of Joaquin Millers first changes was the dateand location of his birthto a westward wagontrain. Then, with advice from Ina Coolbrith[Write Anglescover 5/2010], he changed hisname from Cincinnatus to Joaquin, transforminghimself into the Byron of the Rockies. With hislong hair and wearing the costume of a westernfrontiersman, he was ready for his literary tour ofEngland.

Along the way he also traveled as a newspaperwriter, but with illegible handwriting he wasoften unpublished. Adding to that, he was ajudge with no law degree and an advocate of freelove. Here at the Hight he would also entertainhis audiences with Modoc Indian incantations forrain while reforesting his barren land witheucalyptus, pine, and acacia trees.

I remembered an example of Millers visitors

when researching Dr. Henry Meade Bland, who,after Ina Coolbrith, became Californias secondpoet laureate in 1929. Around 1910, Dr. Bland[Write Anglescover 9/2011] brought his ShortStory Club all the way from the State NormalSchool of San Jose [now SJSU] for a summerpicnic. Along with this picture of The Abbey inthe hills before trees had been planted, I found aphotograph of the streetcar running up to theDimond District from the Fruitvale train station.From there the celebrity seekers still had a longhike uphill for their visit with the poet, but they

came.

At Joaquin Millers death in 1913, the OverlandMonthlywas filled with tributes from those whohad visited him in his garden.

Write Angles Page 5 of13Book ReviewThe Sense of an Ending

by Julian Barnes

reviewed by John Q. McDonald

Memory is deeply unreliable. Wetend to unconsciously modify andedit our memories to ease ourminds, alleviate our guilt, or toglorify the memory of ourselves.Since the memories are our own,we tend to credit their accuracy.This intense multilayered novelquestions that assumption.

Tony is in his sixties. He is com-fortable, solitary, and secure inhis quiet and relatively happy life.In the opening pages, we experi-ence his reflection on his youth,his friends in school and his firstgirlfriend, the enigmaticVeronica. It all seems a basic, if well-told, storyof relationships and the exuberance of youth. Buta strange tragedy strikes, punctuating the end ofthat period in all of their lives. Today, Tony isreminded of those days when he receives abequest. He finds himself in an encounter withVeronica that shifts his perception of the events

of that time and his part in it all. Or lack thereof.

Throughout, there is a character whotells Tony that he just doesn't get itand never will. As we sympathize withTony's narration, this is as frustratingto the reader as it is to him. We wantto know what it is that he doesn't get.And we perceive that one reason hedoesn't get it is his self-involvement.He is concerned with not rocking theboat. He wants no drama. Tony rea-lizes the compromises he has made tokeep his quiet life. He sees that someof his friends had a braver, more hon-est, view of life's existential ques-tions. And yet, he doesn't regret hissafe choices. Eventually, we will getwhat it is he isn't getting. It is hard totell if he should have known it allalong, as Veronica seems to think.

Many of us begin writing by tapping our memoriesfor memoir and personal episodes on which tohang a fiction. Barnes is a mature author who hascaptured a vital sense of memory and its flaws.His book, for which he won the 2011 Man BookerPrize, is deceptively simple. But it has layers ofunderstanding and of character. It is brilliantlycrafted and hauntingly familiar.

What Does the Club Offer? Madelen Lontiong

I thought I was alone as I penned these notes.Little did I realize someone well known was

lurking nearby. But back to work.

What is the difference between working for aprofit-making company and a volunteer club likeCWC-BB? At the company, you get paid for whatyou do, in dollars. At the club, you get paid aswellwith warm fuzzies.

Work and related perks are clearly defined at afor-profit company. Hours are set, like 95, orsome variation thereof. Workstations are fixedthird cubicle, or desk in

corner. Break times areassigned, as are dress codes.Paid holidays, sick days, andvacation days are allotted.Benefits package is wrappedin a 32-page report.

How does our volunteer clubcompare? Flexible workhoursearly a.m., middle ofthe night, early eveningyour choice. Workstation

cybercaf, your car, kitchentable, under a beachumbrella, or, if you mustacomputer at a desk. Breaktimeunassigned. Dresscodeeverything from yourtorn jeans to your jammies, to your bathing suittowell, you know. Holidays, sick days, vacationtimes? Yours for the picking. Benefits package--all feel-good stuff, like smiles, handshakes,thank-yous, offers of assistance, figuring thingsout together, flexibility, making friends. Who

doesnt like those benefits?

I thought I was making a good case for volun-teering when I hear a voice I recognize. To myamazement, Joan Rivers walks in and says, Canwe talk, Madelen, dearie? No, no! Warm fuzzies,schmuzzies! Pleeease, Im about to gag. And

she makes a gag gesture. Honey, those arentperks. She rolls her eyes.

Joan sits down, gives me a shove, and says,Move over, girl. Can we talk? Oh, do you havea lot to learn. Look, you want to recruit volun-teers? Listen, take it from me, honey. Would I lieto you? Heres what you tell your club members:For Secretary, well pay for a deluxe hand treat-ment at Francoiss Salon lgance et Parfumeriein Palm Springs. Francois and I are this close.Joan holds her grooming and middle fingerstogether. Would I lie to you?

For Workshop Chair, well set up a luncheonwith Meryl Streep or GeorgeClooney at the Beverly HillsHilton. Joan gushes. You want adifferent star? Piece of cake. Pick aname. I know them all.

For Communications Director, AKAPublicity Chair, well pay for an all-expenses-paid trip to Paris for aweek. Such a deal. Joan drapesher wrap. Would I steer youwrong?

And for Treasurer, well set youup with Donald Trump. Youllschmooze with him and learn hissecrets on becoming a millionaireandgetting your hair coiffed like

his! Joans eyes twinkled. Who can pass up adate with The Donald? She whispers in my ear,Listen, honey, I have his private number.

Joan left me sitting in awe. Shes so smart. Thoseperks are the way to get volunteers. Lets see, ifwe raise membership to $150, workshops to $75,raffle tickets to 3 for $25, coffee to $7, cookiesto 2 for $5...

Mays contest was to tell the story of this photo.Congratulations go to a new member, Tim Lewis,for his story Pathways.

Pathways

The star and clock told the story. The miniaturejunkyard was a decoy. Aeron puzzled over the oldclock, noting it had stopped at exactly ten sec-onds to six. His wrist atomic clock said he hadless than ten minutes.

He began digging with his long survival knife, re-vealing more and more of the star mosaic. Itmust be completely clear, he thought. One endof the uneven ceramic art was buried severalinches beneath the soil, and so the seven fingerson each of his hands moved faster and faster.

Sweat dripped from the scars on Aerons fore-head, and he clenched his fangs as he concen-trated on clearing everything from the star.This, of course, was no star, but a pathway.Pathways are many shapes and sizes, but theyall have the same energy signature.

Aeron was a pathway traveler, and his geneticscould detect The Wave. The Wave comprisedover fifty thousand interconnected energy wavesand was considered to be the most pure power inthe galaxy. And the most valuable.

Three mercenaries pursued Aeron and were closebehind him. They would be in the alley less than

a minute before activation. They had killed any-one who stood in their way, and this was asclose as they had ever come to The Source.

The planet beneath Aerons feet was doomed.The reason for the clock was to remind the path-

way traveler how little time remained. It alsoallowed him to create a plan to deal with thesoldiers of fortune.

Done! The star was clear. The five points beganto glow, and Aeron stood in the center of the de-sign. His feet locked into the pathway just as histhree pursuers entered the narrow corridor of thealley.

Stop what youre doing, Aeron! snarled theleader.

Youll have to catch me another day, Vignir!Aeron snapped back.

Ill kill you! Vignir raised his pistol.

You wont. You need me. Aeron folded hisarms across his chest.

Bastard! Vignir and his two companions racedforward. Aerons body glowed and then disap-peared, leaving a few sparks in the air. The

planet rumbled beneath their feet, and Vignirsnatched up his communicator.

Energize! Vignir ordered. The three weretransported to a starship in extreme orbit.

Are they aboard? the captain of the vesselasked.

Yessir.

Light Speed, now! he ordered. The battle

cruiser accelerated just beyond the blast wave ofthe planet, going supernova.

Aeron materialized in a splendid meadow withponds and rabbits and deer. And serenity. Hesmiled, knowing the pathways were still safe.

Write Angles Page 8 of13PR NewsA Blurb by Any Other NameWe missed a birthday, a chance to celebrateone of the first words, if not the very firstword, coined by the publishing industry to

convey a specific book- marketing concept.The word is blurb.

Endorsements on book jackets had existed for along time. But not until Gelett Burgess, poet ofThe Purple Cow fame, did we have a uniqueterm for them. Burgess, a prominent figure onthe San Francisco Bay Area literary scene, in1907 depicted a comely fictional lass namedMiss Belinda Blurb on the cover of his book AreYou a Bromide?He showed her spouting highpraise for his product. Her name instantlybecame an adjective.

This means blurb has been around for morethan 100 years. By the way, what do you call acake thats been around for 100 years? A fruit-cake.

Do you know what to do if you find a 100-year-old fruitcake? Decorate it and enter it in the LitCake competition at our annual CWC picnic in

Joaquin Miller State Park in Oakland on Satur-day, July 20. We have only two rules:

1. Gussy up any dessert2. In a literary or book theme.

You wouldnt need much to render a prehis-toric fruitcake contest-ready. Just pick theright title, something like Fifty Shades of Grey(which would probably describe its appearancefairly well). Or sprinkle it with caraway seedsand top it with a baseball action figure to cre-ate J.D. Salingers The Catcher in the Rye. Orsketch Miss Belinda on it declaring it a master-piece, because thats what blurbs do.

Will we see you at the picnic? We may havemissed a birthday, but therell still be plentyof cake.

Good luck and sail on!

Scott Turow (Getty Images)

In April the President of the American WritersGuild, Scott Turow, debated the future ofcopyrights and publishing. Weeks before, theSupreme Court ruled in Kirtsaeng v. Wileythatreselling of books and goods made and soldabroad does NOT violate US Copyright Law.While this ruling did not cause immediatetremors in academia or legal circles, it doeshave implications for publishers and authors.

The First Sale doctrine of the of the USCopyright Law limits a copyright owners ex-clusive right to distribute. This means that theowner of a valid copy of a copyrighted work cansell a copy without the copyright owners per-mission. The exact wording is found in 17 U.S.C 109 (a):

. . . owner of a particular copy or phono-record lawfully made under this title, orany person authorized by such owner,

is entitled, without the authority of thecopyright owner, to sell or otherwisedispose of the possession of that copyor phonorecord.

The court decision did not startle many legalobservers because to rule otherwise would haveallowed manufacturers and publishers the right

to manipulate and control the geographicdistribution and pricing of goods produced

overseas. In effect, it would have strippedconsumers of the conventional right to resellgoods that were manufactured in anothercountry.

However, the issue is more than just aboutpublishers and their copyrighted textbooks.It goes to the heart of our global trading sys-tem. Despite growing acceptance of Inter-national conventions on intellectual propertyrights, its becoming more difficult to imposeUS copyright law and enforcement measures

in a global world where many of the commod-ities are produced and manufactured in aforeign country.

While the future of publishing may not be in thebalance, the publishing industry and authors willface a different future as technology changesthe mass production, distribution, and sales of

copyrighted works.The old model of going through the majorpublishers toll gates is now being underminedby POD and self-publishing models. Electronicpublishing and e-readers have nowrevolutionized the industry and have gainedmarket share and acceptance byauthors and readers worldwide. The

Write Angles Page 10 of13Internetworked world has made it possible forauthors to disseminate their works and crossborders and cross genres while enabling savvypirates and unscrupulous infringers to make easymoney.

In the socialized digital age, where anythingcan be sold online 24/7, there are real concernsabout how to maintain and support the copy-rights and financial security of authors, filmcreators, software developers, and photograph-ers. In this brave new publishing world, authorswill have to upgrade their craft and seek outnew distribution platforms, new pricing models,and new revenue streams that entail creation ofmultidimensional and composite works.

The current copyright laws afford copyrightowners a generous array of rights, including thepublishing, display, dissemination, film produc-tion and performance, and derivative uses of theworks. This means that authors can claim copy-rights and compensation on a variety of repro-ductions of their works. So authors should looktoward multiple uses and various renditions ofhow their work can be communicated.

When authors create a copyrighted work, theyshould consider a pricing model, an electronic

sales distribution and resale value. Monitor thegeographical distribution of the electronic ver-sion and hard copy version of the works. In somecases, this will give you insights about whereyou have a growing audience and places wherecopyright infringement is occurring.

Design new ways of communicating your works.Use images, sound, videos, animation, or audiorecordings. If the authored work gains wideacceptance, it can be made into a film or liveperformance. Consider if your works can betranslated into other languages and the impli-cations of doing so. Since libraries, book stores,and book resellers are growing, make it a pointto be on hand for their reselling fairs and auto-graph a resold copy of your book. Redesign,reedit, and aggregate your works (anthologies)

with other authors. This is not an exhaustive listof ideas to expand your publication platform,but underscores the point that authors have avariety of options available.

Lastly, be generous with your authoring skillsand know-how. Sharing your ideas, expertise,and techniques can gain you as much recog-nition and compensation as the work itself.
