Annie Dillard-the weasel lady

This week's readings were a mixture of wonderful, practical, and insightful. The first of Annie's writings I found to be practical because of all of the quotes she managed to find in her life. They did get a bit tedious at times because she did not respond to any of them. The weasel notebook I found to be wonderful because I was getting a story rather than her telling me of everyday things she was doing. I never really knew too much about weasels, but I liked reading about them. They are a cool thing to have around the house in case you have a snake problem. The best part was of her being in contact with a weasel. Finally, the writing notebook was inspiring for any new writer. The advice she gives is to write what you can, and duck out of the way of criticism. I know that I have trouble in my writing, but if I stick to it, I'll get better and get known.
