And I agree--I can't wait to read this novel of yours after it's published.

I only know her from her sofa, but she is one of my favorite slicers to visit. I had a suspicion that she had a dark side. She has way too good of a sense of humor not to! The glimpse into your writing process is also of interest, of course. I can't wait to read this book when it is on my classroom shelves!Christy Rush-Levinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15581876400990779210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569321493854013836.post-32579927313032971742011-10-04T22:22:00.119-04:002011-10-04T22:22:00.119-04:00I agree--banter is good.

It would be faster to build without it, but it wouldn't be as good.Donna Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13738281869266957726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569321493854013836.post-78301169719975152352011-10-04T20:26:43.103-04:002011-10-04T20:26:43.103-04:00Okay, I'm chuckling because I watched the bant...Okay, I'm chuckling because I watched the banter between you. And after reading about Em, I can't wait to see what this love story entails.<br />I appreciate your deep questions and the reflections from the group. By talking about what we've written, we are growing in our writing. <br />Love the adjectives :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569321493854013836.post-33637587705081071672011-10-04T19:54:08.729-04:002011-10-04T19:54:08.729-04:00Thank you for sharing all this.

Ruth (the difficult one) sounds like just the one to help you get into shape, or at least get the story into shape. I'm always looking for quotes about writing with my students & this one seems apt for what you just communicated: "There's nothing to writing. All you do is sit down at a typewriter and open a vein." ~Walter Wellesley "Red" Smith Best wishes with that love story!Linda Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14983144542632353870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569321493854013836.post-49862669861999035182011-10-04T19:53:23.670-04:002011-10-04T19:53:23.670-04:00From Relentless Ruth--why aren't you writing t...From Relentless Ruth--why aren't you writing the story instead of writing about writing the story! Sheesh...light a fire under it writer-friend! I'm waiting for drafts.... :)<br />Glad our talk helped. I can be pushy--but I still maintain that I'm right on this. <br />And thanks for making me look so wise (that is REAL talent!).Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09730603563225670809noreply@blogger.com
