Pinionpost is meant to be a source of interesting reading, good writing, opinion and insight. Hopefully, it will sometimes even be thought-provoking, engaging, and maybe just a little bit funny.
First and foremost, it will be about writing, books, film, television and journalism. Sometimes it will be about politics, science, food and drink. Very rarely, it may be about different types of birds. Very rarely.
Hello! I’ve been following your blog ever since I’ve came across this site. I am a new writer and I want to self-promote my newest projects FOR A CAUSE that can be found here http://jeninesilos.wordpress.com/2012/04/27/my-first-book-series-the-wonders-in-fable-land/ I just want to share it to all blogs I follow because it is my first time in the field of writing. Or you can see it directly in this site: http://writeforacause.org/
Your visit and comments are very much appreciated! Thank you and God bless!.
I wanted to let you know I’ve presented you with the ‘Tell Me About Yourself’ award. Of course you don’t have to participate. It does take a bit of time, which I know can be precious, but I have been enjoying your blog and wanted to share it as much as my wee little blog can, and then hopefully you can share some of your favorites, as well.
If you’ve an interest, the details are here: http://notforallmarkets.wordpress.com/2012/05/22/its-an-award-and-a-quiz/
Cheers!
Thank you Kathy! That means a lot (sorry for the late response – I’ve been lazy on vacation). I’m putting up the award in a post I’m working on right this very instant. Thanks!
Congratulations Benoit! I’ve nominated you for the Leibster Blog award! Get all the information about it in my post:

I’ve been following your blog for a little over a month now and I enjoy your style of writing terribly. I came for the Hunger Games post, but stuck around for everything else
Much appreciated, miss, much appreciated! That Hunger Games post feels like it was a long time ago (I think it’s about time I got back to doing a little more of the criticism/writing advice stuff, since I’ve been writing so many short stories lately). Thanks again!
I think your bio page is the most entertaining one I’ve ever read. So. Is ‘Pinion’ referring to the feathers of birds then?
Thanks! That’s nice of you to say. I feel like the “about” page isn’t quite accurate anymore, since it’s been a while since I’ve posted anything political or even critical (thanks, in part, to how much fun I have with Friday Fictioneers and other flash fiction projects).
Pinion is more a reference to a gear in a larger work of machinery, sort of trying to elicit the idea of a nuts-and-bolts approach to writing. Sometimes, from the outside, it can seem like writing is a magic thing that just happens, when I really see it more as a science, an art that can be honed so that everything “works” just as it should.
Thanks again!
