I’m looking forward to reading and writing and maybe one day doing a course with you. I wish I could go back in time and do the BA in English and MFA in Creative Writing. But that’s all sliding doors now.

From what I’ve read so far, reading the work you’re so generously sharing for free for now, will be an exciting sneak peak into the roads not taken. Now to figure out when.

Thank you 🤩

Hmmm. I always feared dying in the fire of my soul. That's the year I wrote my book. But did nothing with it. Nothing that lasted because I took it down. I've seen Hitch before. Maybe I will go find it. I liked it the first time. I like your flow.

So great to have you reading and commenting. We can discuss, point by point. You're a deep thinker--and that leads to more and better writing. You must know that.

Yeah, I do know that. I'm okay with what happened with that book. After looking down her nose at me when I didn't marry the green-eyed Prince in the early 80s, my mother said two things to me about my book which perhaps you read already in one of my blogs. 1) After reading your book, I realize I've wasted my entire life taking care of your father. 2) After reading your book, I realize if I had my life to live over again, I'd choose to live my life as you have lived yours. After that feedback, I realized the book worked its magic in my life.

You, for sure, have a story to tell. That's conflict and it's layered too. We're gonna talk about the importance of layered conflict soon. No story works well without it.
