Good post. I relate to what you...Hello Catherine!<br /><br />Good post. I relate to what you said about paintings, I make scenes like that too. An initial sketch and then layering over it. I write terrible first drafts and hammer them until they get better.<br /><br />Your books on Lesbian ghost stories sound intriguing.<br /><br />GarceGarceushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11160407485298015371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9156334464585894857.post-2936142653230493592009-06-13T17:07:10.143-04:002009-06-13T17:07:10.143-04:00Catherine,

I like your analo...Welcome to the Grip, Catherine!<br /><br />I like your analogy with painting, though that's not at all the way I create my settings. It's all there in my mind when I start, and I try to pour it onto the page.<br /><br />I was thinking that you might share some text from "An Incident at Whitechapel". The mood in that story, the miasma of menace rising up from the London streets, is so compelling - that's one reason why I asked you to be our guest this week. <br /><br />However, one can't say that Florence lacks atmosphere!<br /><br />Warmly,<br />LisabetLisabet Saraihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05162514190572269660noreply@blogger.com
