Your blog - and your memoir - sound fascinating.

Thanks for your tip to read “The Liars Club”, when you commented on my blog, http://creatingmyopus.wordpress.com.

That we share the same theme on the same topic simply shows we have good taste.

Keep inspired. Stick with it.

Regards,

Daniel G. Taylor

You too! Thanks for stopping by.–MS

I may be following in your footsteps to a degree. Started a Crime Story in progress on my blog Label It Crime yesterday . . . And I wondered how I’d find the experience, good? bad? helpful? debilitating? So finding your memoir in progress and consequently abandoned is good info for me to have. I’m going to go ahead and give the Label It Crime blog a go for a month. That’s the plan.

I generally read your daily post and enjoy your prose style as well as your poetry. And I have actually gone to the paypal link but when it asks for an address [?] I pull a blank and abandon the donation process. Do you have a “donate” button somewhere? Your work is worth more than my donation will be, but a little is better than none . . . right?

Thanks so much for your comments. I’ve been to your site, as you know, and I’m looking forward to reading your new crime story…that’s exciting!

When Paypal asks for an address, I’m sure they must mean the URL. Mine is http://www.marcys.wordpress.com. I cannot post their buttons because WordPress has some doodad that knocks out that kind of code. I will be eternally grateful for your donation, or anyone else’s. Hell, I’m grateful you even considered it!–MS

Outside criticism never comes in the right size or quality because we ourselves don’t know what we want to hear. Is it good? Bad? Fixable? Or not? None of these questions without real answers seem to be really relevant when it comes right down to it. I think what we are asking is, “Did my writing touch you?” That’s an interesting question that is not quantifiable, nor is it ever the same answer from second to second. Perhpaps all we can hope for is the possibility of being read, being seen when we decide to move out of invisibility, like the possibility that electrons will show up where they are expected and in the form we can recognize. Otherwise we are all invisible to one another.

Your writing is more compelling than anything I have read in years. Not only is it compelling, it is profound, deep, moving.
It would be a great loss if you stopped.
You ask if anyone would believe this.
Yes.
Yes.
Please keep writing.

Wow, Lorraine–speaking of gifts! Thank you. I really needed that.–MS
