Bethany Germack Alias: Beth Major/Minors: Writing Major, English Minor Year: 2008 Contact Info: blgermack@loyola.edu What She’s Reading Hannibal by Thomas Harris The Long, Hard Road Out of Hell by Marilyn Manson House of Gaian by Anne Bishop Favorite Line “... And music is the perfect type of art.” Portrait of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde Writing Center Work is like: tuning a guitar—each peg needs to be turned a different amount to get each string to sound the best it can. In this analogy, the writer is the string and the consultant is the tuner. Favorite Form of Punctuation The ellipsis (better known as the dot, dot, dot) because it has always been a punctuation mark that has held my heart. There really is no explaining it. I simply cannot rationalize my love of this punctuation. Intriguing Discourse Communities I Belong To Baltimore Local Music Scene—I've met some extremely interesting people though this community and one thing we all love is talking about what's new and who we should keep an ear out for. It's a great way to catch what is up-and-coming before the record labels do. |
