Maybe it will be better than blogging each piece so that the story flows and you don't have to make sure each piece is perfect before you put it up on the blog for the world to see? <BR/><BR/>Just by reading the writings you put up here, it seems like you really do have lots talent and creativity.

Then there was the poem I posted yesterday, where the main character was so real to me that I "see" her and feel her. After years of writing/blogging about myself and my life, it's interesting to see that my life is taking on a life of its own, my character becoming many characters, some not like me.<BR/><BR/>All this to say that I understand the creative process and the way it surprises us by overlapping and intersecting with us on so many planes.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
