My problem is by the umpty thump pass, if the truth be known probably the second pass, the subject loses its sparkle for me.A.http://www.blogger.com/profile/04709794851766685322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6498413430541424627.post-36998362846745847192009-06-11T08:04:39.741-06:002009-06-11T08:04:39.741-06:00@Lady - Thank you.

Maybe you are and are just hiding them from me. :) I'm glad you stopped by.<br><br>@Ken - Nice to see you again too, Ken. I learn a lot by reading your stuff.<br><br>@A. - Simple? Of course it is simple if you have something to say. You're a photographer. You don't have to force yourself to take photos do you? If writing isn't a treat, like eating chocolate cake, then don't do it. Do what you love. ("... and the money will follow." Heh. I think that is the title of a self-help book I once read. :)<br><br>But who am I to be giving YOU advice? - You write in FRENCH, for crissakes. (But don't tell me you don't rewrite when you do.)Relax Maxhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01051381168322495999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6498413430541424627.post-28543678125772043802009-06-11T11:23:32.479-06:002009-06-11T11:23:32.479-06:00What I like about "blog" writing is that...What I like about "blog" writing is that you can keep it simple and off the cuff at times and still be interesting.

And those came out relatively perfectly. I've never done any be the most minor tweaks to those and they remain my favorite work.<br><br>I'm not sure there's one way of writing, actually. I think there's almost always a level of craft in addition to talent, but sometimes, I think, you can tap into something incredible you didn't even know you had.Stephanie Bhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17772217449161603561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6498413430541424627.post-14752455879881381262009-06-13T07:36:08.819-06:002009-06-13T07:36:08.819-06:00@Frostygirl - Your blog shows that you care how it...@Frostygirl - Your blog shows that you care how it looks.:)<br><br>For me, I was talking not only about blogs, but other writing as well. I will admit that a lot of my blog posts are not so well "rewritten". :)<br><br>I hope you are doing fine.<br><br>@Angelika - Awwwwwww! And how terrible if it kept you up all night. That's a joke, right? :)<br><br>@Descartes - Or, if you steal ideas from other blogs like I do, blogging could be reblogging. :)<br><br>@Stephanie B - Well, I mainly meant it is important that we get that idea down on paper before it flits away, and then flesh it out later. Does the same thing hold true with writing fiction? I mean, does one usually just write the scene, including some initial dialog, that is in one's head, and then go back later and refine it? I don't mean grammar and spelling so much as I mean the actual writing of the ideas.<br><br>When I do that, other things always occur to me as I edit and more often than not things get added and subtracted. But I don't write fiction and really don't know how. God, how hokey would I sound with no experience! I will write you guys a fictional story sometime just to give you a laugh. It will sound like a fifth-grader probably! :)Relax Maxhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01051381168322495999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6498413430541424627.post-84280756190130813092009-06-14T22:49:34.159-06:002009-06-14T22:49:34.159-06:00yer blog is kooooooooool !!!!!yer blog is kooooooooool !!!!!xnoreply@blogger.com
