Life and death,<br />work and success all tie together<br />in starts and stops. I think the hard work comes through, not always in the expected ways. Not always with huge reward..but what is solid remains so. I find your writing solid in many ways and look forward to reading.kanyonland King 2.blogspot.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09889895547932287411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-672013373020085991.post-32738991536664525712010-02-08T21:05:37.477-08:002010-02-08T21:05:37.477-08:00I was just going to bed after one last round on th...I was just going to bed after one last round on the computer to see if anyone had posted anything interesting and I found your entry which made a big difference in my day I can tell you, because it was a long and meaty entry. If you just keep writing your memoir about your life in theater which is what I assume you are doing, you are going to make readers like me very happy I can guarantee. That could be well worth the doing. I found "The Peabody Sisters of Salem" and started reading it which helped lift me up out of kind of hole I had fallen into, wondering if all this writing and reading was worth it, since not enough people seemed to be doing it to make the effort pay. To enlighten you one sister married Nathaniel Hawthorne, another Horace Mann and they founded Antioch, and the oldest was the biggest book reading learning teaching woman I have encountered in a bio for some time. I was quite flattered by the way when you named Sandstones as I thought it was unconscious, but you were five when I wrote it in Page, Arizona. It's still quite a heavy weight novel and I thought oh, I have ruined it, ruined it for publication because bisexuals kept turning up in it. I thought where does this stuff come from? This is not what I intended, but the book seized control and wrote its self. I could not change its mind. I still think this is one issue that has sunk my career as a writer. Thank god, it does not enter your work as it did mine. It might mean all the difference in whether your book is successful or not. So I were you I would feel quite excited about your possibilities and keep on writing above all. I think you have some real writing ability. So whatever you are doing to promote your work will help, too. Thanks to you I will go to bed on an up note. I have been reading and on the computer a lot today just trying to get up enough.Gerryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00771917880182186281noreply@blogger.com
