Thanks for reading and commenting on "For Those Who Asked Why", Joe. I don't know what led you to it today; I posted it many months ago. It's a page out of my journal, and real life.
Jo- I just read two of your stories and all I can say is, WOW. So glad to connect here. And by the way, DO stop in at 52|250 if you can. We've still got 6 months to go. Would love to see you there.
julie, yes! same here. i've been thinking hard about this ever since a good writer named tony earley criticized one of my heroes, cormac mccarthy. earley said (approxmately) i don't choose to write worlds where evil is the dominant force, and i don't know why i'd choose to read them, either.
don't laugh, but the comment floored me. i had never thought before about the fact that i am responsible for the underlying truths of the universes i create, just as i'm responsible for my character's hair color, and that fictional truths can be better and more beautiful than those i see in the world around me.
Jo,love your dog! Is that an Aussie Shepherd? thanks for your kind comments on the Backpack bit!
Hey, Jo! Thanks for the ass-kicking assessment over at my "Bumper Repair" story.
Belated thanks for the comment on Humpty Dumpty 2011, Jo. Glad you had fun!
