And we have a winner . . . !

10/1/2012

This was a tough one, folks--so many good suggestions for our "Name That Blog" contest, but after much careful deliberation, I've finally settled on a winner. Congratulations to Susan Sauter for her suggestion "Stacking Stones." (Fun fact: though it's entirely coincidental, the seminal piece of craft that I responded to in writing the critical preface to my Master's Thesis about linked story collections was titled "Stacking Stones" and written by the writer David Jauss.)

Let me know, Susan, which state you'd like for your County Fair Field Notes (though I think I already have a pretty good idea), and thanks to everyone who participated. Keep checking back for more fun contests in the future!

P.S. By the way, for those wondering, I took the photograph at the top of the blog at the WVU Core Arboretum last fall during one of our field trips for the course The Field and the Forest: A Nature Writing Survey.

Yippeeee! Thank you! After taking a walk at the farm, past stone piles, I remembered that you have sometimes said writing is like stacking stones--we each use the same raw materials, in essence, but stack the words differently, and that's where our voice comes in, I expect. Yes, sir, I would like the state of WV, please. Thank you, again!

That sounds like the sort of thing I'd say--WV it is! Congrats again!
