Drinking Coffee Elsewhere

After reading the chapter titled, "Every Tongue Shall Confess," I realized how quickly and smoothly the reading went and had an urge to continue on. The style of writing and description used was entertaining and alternating as to not bore me.
When she wrote about the Clareese's encounter with Deacon McCreedy where he, for lack of a better word, molested her, it appeared as if the words were coming straight from the character's mind. It seemed like, as the character remembered the event, she spoke about it, changing it drastically as new information returned to her memory. I suppose the word choice was most descriptive and her use of the phrase, "wriggling around inside" made me a little sick.
I enjoyed the metaphor she used in which she describes her uterus as having the shape of Texas. Her monthly period acting like the Rio Grande emptying out into the Gulf was really funny to read.
I also enjoyed when she described the reaction of the audience in her church as the pastor was preaching. She described the women as waving their hands around as if stumbling the dark. That description basically painted the scene in my mind, and made it so easy to imagine.
The quotes she used, especially when she described the phone call between Clareese and Cleophus was very helpful in understanding the actions and perhaps what Cleophus was thinking behind his rude comments.
After reading her techniques I learned several different fun ways to write, especially because I worry that my writing becomes a bit monotone and boring. Varying between short and long sentences makes the writing more fresh and interesting.
