And yes, that's part of the scary part. I had a discussion yesterday with my brother-in-law, who's a professor of English at Notre Dame about what happens to writing when it becomes part of the public discourse... and yes, again, I think the fear is there. But I'm excited to be trying my hand again. And THANK YOU for the "little something" - it was a big something to me! ;-)<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the support, Yvonne!<BR/><BR/>And yes, Fourier - I SO agree that it's the second and third and fourth... stages that kill me. The original creation is the fun part.<BR/><BR/>Yes, Jennifer, I've noticed there are an awful lot of us J's around, too! I think I may have to become Jen in MI or something... Do you sometimes post pictures of your paintings? I'd love to see them<BR/><BR/>Hey Anno! I think Ahoy Matey is just fine!<BR/><BR/>And Charity, thanks again for pointing me to that book.Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02362687820368214420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-810163108481683709.post-11415694569257717522007-07-17T18:35:00.000-04:002007-07-17T18:35:00.000-04:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-810163108481683709.post-56387488730056385382007-07-17T16:36:00.000-04:002007-07-17T16:36:00.000-04:00I'm glad you're getting something from the book.

I wonder about the J factor in the blog world... I regularly visit one Jennifer, one Jenn, and now you, Jen, and I, of course, am Jennifer. I think it's a good omen.<BR/>I really like the pirate metaphor, searching for treasure. Painting is very mych the same sensation. You just keep working, swirling around, pounding away, until you suddenly come upon treasure.<BR/>Keep writing.jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14511174413208544186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-810163108481683709.post-20604201778866567922007-07-17T09:46:00.000-04:002007-07-17T09:46:00.000-04:00I've always loved to write stream of consciousness...I've always loved to write stream of consciousness style. It's the editing and self-censoring that kills writing for me. What I'm enjoying about blogging is that it is so real-time and the feedback you get from it is also real-time. So raise the skull-and-crossbones, avast there matey, and away with ya'! Good luck and "a strong wind at your back".Fourier Analysthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09689357373595434853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-810163108481683709.post-61595889792887471642007-07-17T09:11:00.000-04:002007-07-17T09:11:00.000-04:00I loved this post.

A performance is enjoyed but forgotten, or made better in the memory of it. A meal is enjoyed the same way. A book though? A book is ALWAYS there with EVERYTHING you put in it. Emotions and mistakes and EVERYTHING... Wow, that's big.<BR/>This is a lot to think about and I wish you luck as you push forward in your goals.<BR/><BR/>By the by, I gave you a small something today. Come on over and see what it is.Jenn in Hollandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02356887577439040747noreply@blogger.com
