I sat with a young expository writing instructor today. She teaches at a Famous Ivy League Institution. She was talking about one of the common problems in student writing, which she calls "fact dumping". An example: I went to dinner with a famous professor. She was wearing a green dress. We entered the dining hall where, before me, I saw asparagus with dill dip.
Now I feel that I have to go back through my blog and eradicate "fact dumping". Probably the whole blog is one big "fact dump". What's done is done. I'll just have to get more denoument in my life.
Here it is! Today my sweet, ascetic, elusive accupuncture/cranial sacral practitioner could not find my cranial pulse anywhere! After much effort, including a foray inside my mouth, tickling my pineal gland and pulling gently on my front teeth, he finally got it going, thank goodness. I forgot to ask him what would have happened if he hadn't. You can tell that I'm often in over my head, when it comes to healing. Think this is more dump than denoument.
