Hi Writer! Well, this post put a big, goofy grin on my face. :D I can't wait to read it. But due to the fact that I'm at work and would prefer to take my time reading it in a more conducive atmosphere, do you mind if I print it out so I can read it this evening? I'll tell you my thoughts...

I think that everyone has done well in describing that intimacy that we all seek. But, even the most ideal intimacy can be fleeting. I thought I'd found it with someone once. I had never totally handed my heart to anyone before her. We were perfect together. Of course, that was before she dumped...

I haven't read that novel yet, though I plan to. I've read many of his short stories. Cosmicomics is a collection that is simply fantastic, and I would HIGHLY recommend it. In fact, in the Favorite Short Stories thread I listed "The Distance of The Moon" which is the first short story in that...

:D :D :D :D

My turn!!! My turn!!! :)

Ashlea, why do I get the feeling that, with you, someday soon some little spark is going to set off a beautiful fireworks display of literary brilliance? And I personally can't wait... :)

Speaking for myself, I may bark (woof, woof), but I promise not to bite. Btw, I have a degree in Journalism and have taken graduate level courses in creative writing and I can be a pretty tough judge. If I like your work (which I do), you shouldn't be too afraid of anyone else. :)

On the whole, Salvaged, I like the poem. :) I wonder why, though, after using an unrhymed scheme throughout the poem, you suddenly start rhyming in the last two stanzas. It jars me a little. My suggestion: I would lose the last stanza entirely. It's my least favorite and I don't think it...

Hi Nelle! Welcome to the group. I've read it, but like Litany, it was quite awhile ago now. I too enjoyed it. I'll check the thread and see if I can offer anything. :)

I'm disappointed, but I understand. I go through the same feelings. I'm not sure I agree with the "competing" part though. Maybe I'm just not sure what you mean by that. And, other than Mile-O, I'm not sure just who these "educated writers" are. Education doesn't necessarily make for a good...

Walt Whitman, Wallace Stevens, William Carlos Williams, Elizabeth Bishop, Randall Jarrell, Edna St. Vincent Millay, Robert Lowell, Donald Justice, Allen Ginsberg, James Wright, Gary Snyder, Robert Hass, Sharon Olds, Joy Harjo, Billy Collins, Wabbit and Third Man Girl. :)

Oh, one more thing. I really don't know what you mean by "showboy." Could you please explain. Thanks.

Thanks, Writer, for the explanations. They DO make sense... well, sort of, in that endearing, rambling way you have for explanations. ;) Well, I think a good writer can find their voice in various styles. I consider it an attribute to be versatile when it comes to styles. Just sticking to...

Hahaha. Ah, going from the childish to the infantile, huh? :D

*momentarily speechless* Wow! :) Where did THAT come from? So different from what you've posted before. It's incredible. :) And, I'm so damn PROUD of you for posting it!! It's hard for me to pick out a favorite part, because it is all so even. At first reading, I am drawn to the third and...

Quickly jumps up to defend TMG's honor Hey, stop it! Some of my best friends are shameless hussies! :p

Once again, I am intrigued by the scene you set, Writer. Is M about to go on trial? With Colin representing him? Is that why Colin is interested in M's appearance? Sorry, if my always asking questions about your book bugs you. But I'm just curious. :)

But that's only four words. You still have 21 more to go! :D

In no LESS than twenty-five words, describe your shoes. :)

If you play matchmaker and bring any two fictional characters (from different novels or stories, please) together on a blind date, who would you match up, and why?
