I can only imagine the emotional journey that it took to write The Golden Sky and I greatly applaud you for having the strength to take it.

I think (especially after publishing a book about infant death) I want to spin a good yarn to ease the emotional tension.Crazy Life of a Writing Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16064939499412649850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5164588272845310569.post-23633917262040834672011-11-09T10:42:20.190-05:002011-11-09T10:42:20.190-05:00Hey all!

I think the end result is what matters. It's just different mindsets to get there and explaining which mindset I am and why. A bit of mental drool if you will. :)Rick Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07703091917685458099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5164588272845310569.post-82446088519292098302011-11-09T10:30:04.250-05:002011-11-09T10:30:04.250-05:00You know I am not sure what to make of your post. ...You know I am not sure what to make of your post. LOL. I would say that I think that entertainment is very important if you want to be heard by more than a few. I have had a difficult time crawling through some literature because it was not entertaining. <br /><br />I do like however when authors give me something to think about. I like when you sneak it on me, but I want it there. I do want to be entertained, but I also want you to tell me something. <br /><br />The something need not be earth-shattering, but I want it there...Quincy Simpsonhttp://www.quincysimpson.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5164588272845310569.post-74410897895458497622011-11-09T08:09:34.994-05:002011-11-09T08:09:34.994-05:00I suppose I'm more of a thespian.

I'd love to give you a good show, but I still ask <i>but what's the meaning behind it?

My work is far from perfect, but in the art world (mine,at least) there are NO rules - it's all about getting your message across, and in turn, that means getting people's attention..which thankfully is NEVER boring! <br />~ Indie rules, and 'stuff shirts' drool! ~lolLisa Vaughnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12169692043352124571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5164588272845310569.post-1820550665035781272011-11-04T13:22:28.227-04:002011-11-04T13:22:28.227-04:00Moody and pompous-Geez,yet you still deal with me ...Moody and pompous-Geez,yet you still deal with me on a day to day basis!
