She's a talented woman as you can see by her website. her book of short stories, Coming Up Roses is excellent.<BR/><BR/>Alis - thanks and welcome!<BR/><BR/>Vanda - I don't know how you do it. I was just talking to a colleague here at the univeristy who expressed surprise that I intend to have my novel finished by the end of my time here, and I just realised how crazy I am. I'm still going to try though!Rachael Kinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07690377694600952816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16175404.post-41973216005159976062008-06-24T15:10:00.000-07:002008-06-24T15:10:00.000-07:00Thanks for your generosity with your thoughts and ...Thanks for your generosity with your thoughts and ideas on this blog, Rachael. <BR/><BR/>Jumping around people's blogs and sharing your own little bits and pieces in the comments is kind of like a virtual sorority or writing group. It's a great way to stave off the isolation of being a writer (not that I've been very isolated this week, with someone home sick every day for the last six days!)<BR/><BR/>I'm aiming to finish the first draft of the third novel by September.

I've always likened it to water-cooler conversation. Of course, you do need to generate comments, otherwise you're just talking to yourself!

Just nice to feel that someone else is having the same little epiphanies that are so difficult to describe to anyone else who is not a writer, a bit like describing the significance and meaning of a dream. Keep it coming...<BR/><BR/>ps - had a peek at your friend Sarah's site, with poem about Magpies/crows...have you seen it...? Kinda lovely.<BR/><BR/>pps - i think it is ok not to say too much, the process is the tricky bit and hence needs the support, casting a spell/ idea is one thing, gathering the far flung ingredients/support/writing it - anotherAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
