Why not...
Comments
Interests
General
Writing, painting, dreaming, acting, singing, music of multiple varieties, friends of long lasting, baubles a raven would love, my children, my home, fresh flowers, viewing art, dead Russian authors, live feminist authors, commentary with far-reaching implications, and anything else of the vaguely pleasurable nature. Oh, did I mention writing--I do that a lot. Working on second novel Sex Angel as soon as I can--a playful romp through all kinds of blasphemous theology. Also, writing a third novel called Fidelities at the same time. What can I say? I like to multi-task...
I am also a huge art fan. Love the art of Degas, Dali, Michael Parkes, Monet, and many modern artists and animation god/desses, including Siolo Thompson. (See her animated video of her brother Isaac's song below)
I also love the work of my talented artist friend MÈLÄñÌÈ who has just sent me the enormous gift of creating the below piece of art as a reply to my lyrical poetry. This piece is part of a larger series she entitles Little Queens, called HER CANDLE BURNS AT BOTH ENDS...FOR HEATHER. How fun and delightful when art inspires art! Her prints are also available for sale. Buy one! :)

Music
In no particular order--Regina Spektor, Janis Joplin, Joni Mitchell, Ani DiFranco, Timbaland, Keith Urban, Prince, U2, Counting Crows, Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald, Sia, Five For Fighting, Marvin Gaye, Sting, the Carpenters, Jewel, the Smiths, Jimi Hendrix, my girl Tori Amos, NIN, Garbage, new fav Matt Jones, Marie Schumacher, Simon and Garfunkel, Tiga, Santana, Nelly Furtado, Katie Webster, Elton John, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Sparklehorse, and anything else that floats my boat when I cruise new artists. Love, love, love the voice of Lindsay Harper who I recently found here. Check her out. Like country, blues, R&B, classical, hiphop, jazz, folk, trance, alternative--there's hardly a genre I don't listen too.Movies
Gattaca, Lord of the Rings, Dark City, The Lover, The Piano, Pleasantville, Minority Report, Labrynth, Moulin Rouge, Chicago, Henry and June, Chasing Amy, Fight Club, Good Will Hunting, The Last Unicorn, The Matrix (the first one only), Freeway, Delicatessan, Silence of the Lambs, The Bridges of Madison County (film only, book sucked), The Breakfast Club, Rear Window, Casablanca, etc.
Television
Heroes; Grey's Anatomy; Project Runway; Top Chef; Ghost Whisperer; Brothers and Sisters; Bones; The Office; Work Out (oh snap!)... Etc. But I TIVO everything--cannot watch with commercials.Books
Most that are canon. Lots that are new. Come on... I'm a lit freak / word junkie. Pick your poison and I probably can speak to it. Okay, sample top 5 (can easily rotate these later): 1. Orwell- 1984 2. Tolstoy-Anna Karenin 3. Nabokov--Pale Fire 4. Calvino--Cosmicomics 5. Borges--Ficciones
I also love a recent, fascinating book for animal rights fans and activists by Kathryn Shevelow entitled For The Love Of AnimalsHeroes
Virginia Woolf, Ani DiFranco, Colin Powell, Napoleon Bonaparte (planned well until dreaming too big), All my best girls, any man who has ever stopped a woman from being hurt or raped, any listener who knows well enough to hear first, talk second. The dreamers, the writers, the singers, the painters, the bards.

About me:
....I write like a maniac in love with the craft. I am also intimately connected to the following list of traits and fixations: Scorpio, loyal, smart, sweet, sentimental, ruthless, hedonistic, spoiled, way too neurotic. Love to hear myself and others think. Love to hear rain. Love the soft glistening of things and the loping cadences of lost words !spent! in tandem.

Feel free to friend Heather on her facebook page here.
About the Blog:
Please do subscribe to this blog if you like to see creative people writing and doing their process. Most posts will be friends only since we draft things and then want to clean them up and pub them, so do "friend" me if you'd like to play and come by to say hello. Quick warning--you'll want to set your blog settings to "not notify" about my posts if you subscribe and are only an occasional myspace user since I post often. Still, all subscribers are immediately beloved! Also, it's great to know who is reading and popping in! All friends, new and old, are always welcome to join the challenges. Just jump in.
About Preferred Blog Posts:
These posts are those that are being revised or generated that only a very small group of friends can view-- usually novels in progress, friends' posts at later stages, work a bit more edgy, or newer poems--but if you've become a blog subscriber and feel robbed, please do request being added to the preferred list. A short message like: "I feel robbed!" will do the trick. :)
About the Audio:
Please friend my new audio page, #2 in the Friend's list if you like the work you see or hear here. I will be posting new readings of rotating new work, work previously published in print, or work pubbed and in archive status online. Also, a June 2007 podcast file is available for those who'd like to hear more; check out the TothWorld #95 podcast , where I feature with Paul Toth's music and work. Note: a few technical difficulties on the first part of the recording--but this was fun! Save the podcast first, then play it on any media player.
About What's Fun:
And one more fun writer's jaunt-- go to Susan Henderson's LitPark as often as possible. I love to play there, cool little writer's salon that it is. :)
Also, I love Francis Ford Coppola's Zoetrope.com author's playground and workshop for prose, poetry, and screenwriting. It's a big lovely whirlwind of a place!
About Top Friends:
Tom, why can't I have a hundred??? Forty really gets on my nerves. Anyway, I do switch this up a lot, usually to move up people I am interested in checking in on since it's been a while or those I find inspiring. If I'm doing a writing challenge, I will often move up those I'm chatting with on my blog (for ease of use in seeing if they are online or dropping by to say hello with quick comments). Anyway, if you fall off my Top 40 it DOES NOT MEAN I love you less--just, perhaps, that I haven't heard from you in a while and, ah-hem, please Tom--we need more friendage allowed here. Ha! Much love, H..

Who I'd like to meet:
Writers. Publishers. Editors. Painters. Musicians. Those for whom life is unbearably painful at the same time as necessary. Those who see the beauty all around and take it forward with them into dreams. The occasional miracle maker. Keepers of celestial stars. Tellers of oral histories I would not otherwise have known. Those who cook amazing food and tell jokes with physical humor or wry wit. No one who will bore me with false kindness. Everyone who will extend their hand into the fire in the name of mercy when an honest life's at stake. The courageous. The beautiful. The bold. Alright, you. I'd really like to meet you. If you write, tell me what you write and what you read. :)
Other than that, I'd like to meet Flannery O'Connor, Vladimir Nabokov, Virginia Woolf, Jorge Luis Borges, Sandra Cisneros, Tenessee Williams, Tim O'Brien, Sam Shepard, Edna St. Vincent Millay, Sir Alfred Lord Tennyson, TC Boyle, Pablo Neruda, or Shakespeare (obvious problems with some of these meetings--where's my shovel?). But seriously, I'm always looking for smart artist friends to play with. Like to intertexual dialogue. Like fresh coffee and deep conversation. Like to hate dumb films and love good ones. Love a challenge. Let's write a short story, a children's book, a screenplay, a novel, a haiku, a song. Send me a writing riff with a comment--the weirder the better--edgy or traditional, light or dark, I'm always game.

This second installment of the Detour series invites the viewer to revisit the perceptual experiment conducted in Detour 1 only instead of presenting the images in a rapid succession, here they are slowly fragmented almost like a puzzle occasionally coming together to form complete images.
