I find I need a week or two of mental recuperation aided by various legal medications , before I can take on the next book. Like voluntarily entering the asylum. I mean, maybe it's a healthy adaptation. All those voices in your head, clamoring for expression and life...alexlukemanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00429204799613793974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1195358679721373352.post-10426702375141812192012-07-06T07:38:04.354-07:002012-07-06T07:38:04.354-07:00Great comment, Paula.

I still have a children's book from the early 20th C that features ants.<br /><br />Thanks for your comment.alexlukemanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00429204799613793974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1195358679721373352.post-71417421542095892272012-07-06T00:31:30.196-07:002012-07-06T00:31:30.196-07:00Alex,

And yet, I would not wish to be doing anything else, would you? <br /><br />To all the people out there who decry us for what we do I just say this - put up,or shut up!<br /><br />Great article. :)Jack Easonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13601041734648407356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1195358679721373352.post-46942349723418311292012-07-05T12:37:40.066-07:002012-07-05T12:37:40.066-07:00I have read more books than the sands upon the loc...I have read more books than the sands upon the local beachfront... Well not quite that many, but a multitude. <br /><br />I write short stories and have just committed to a novelette series. I'm sure I can do that but time will tell, and if I commit, I surely will give it the old college try.<br /><br />I agree with your assessment of making it real - walk the walk before you talk the talk. <br /><br />I write stories for children and my cartoon pack of rescued dogs have live counterparts who talk through action, action I put into words for the ones on the page. <br /><br />In one assessment I need disagree in as much I humanize my dogs. I really hate to say that because dogs are the only creatures I've seen so far that will forgive in any situation even when it takes time learning not to flinch when a hand descends or not gobbling food because it survived near death through starvation. <br /><br />Or even learning to walk down stairs they are deathly afraid to approach but will because they must be near the one they see as a savior. <br /><br />So, if one of the pack has a friend that is an ant, it shall surely speak. First I must live in the character's world so completely that I will be able to transport my reader into believing. My readers tell me it is so.<br /><br />Excellent article.matriarchShenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07684058360125931809noreply@blogger.com
