Your unfinished story is brilliant, and your whole post sums up so much about a writer's life. We hate the interruptions, but they keep us rooted in present reality and connected with loved ones, which doesn't seem like a totally bad thing.Jean Robertahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08805088081675965859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9156334464585894857.post-45477974577208476902016-06-09T09:23:19.782-04:002016-06-09T09:23:19.782-04:00laughing out loud at this response. :Dlaughing out loud at this response. :DAnnabeth Leonghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07455191827664110878noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9156334464585894857.post-14609238241363387352016-06-09T06:18:36.128-04:002016-06-09T06:18:36.128-04:00It really unnerves you when you love your car and ...It really unnerves you when you love your car and its practically your second home and then you see it mangled and dead by the side of the road. Cars appear frequently in my dreams abd I'm still debating what they symbolize.<br /><br />You can't protect them from everything and we know contingency and even suffering if what builds soul. But still, its awful to see them suffer anything at all.<br /><br />Garce<br /><br />Garceushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11160407485298015371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9156334464585894857.post-36958486992268913372016-06-09T06:15:27.625-04:002016-06-09T06:15:27.625-04:00Its funny, I hadn't realized that until you me...Its funny, I hadn't realized that until you mentioned it. I had to go back and count them. I've learned to interrupt myself, (sort of ADD writing) much the way I think. Got to admit (as who can deny) I've got this interruption thing (who will interrupt my thoughts better than me?) with an aside down pretty good.<br /><br />GarceGarceushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11160407485298015371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9156334464585894857.post-84144337796414883272016-06-09T06:11:39.226-04:002016-06-09T06:11:39.226-04:00"Meta-Worker" Is there a union for that..."Meta-Worker" Is there a union for that?<br />Garceushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11160407485298015371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9156334464585894857.post-39867666735359690152016-06-09T00:28:38.514-04:002016-06-09T00:28:38.514-04:00I had no doubt the call from your son was real.

Your character...Your voice always sounds so unique. Your characters let the reader eavesdrop on the voices in your head. And I, also, was really getting into the story and hope you can get back into the groove with it. <br /><br />Funny coincidence. One of our sons just had a fender-bender also, but he's married and lives in another state. He had to call because he was unnerved. It totaled his car. Second time he's done that in 8 years. First was black ice on the highway in a snow storm. This time it was the other driver's fault. Husband and I affirmed our undying love for him, and bemoaned the impossibility of giving him a reassuring hug from 2 states away. Texted him today and he's going to get his back/neck X-rayed, as we advised him to do, because he's still sore. <br /><br />Kids! They grow up and move out of your house, and you still can't stop worrying about them and wanting to protect them from every possible exigency, even though it's no more possible now than it was from the instant he left my body for independence.

When I got to the last word "could" my phone rang and it was my son and he'd had a fender bender.<br /><br />This is another side of creative work which people don't think about, which is that for all our imagined glory, Life doesn't give a shit. Life doesn't care if Mr or Ms Wonderful has some bright idea, Life pushes you out of your chair to make you take care of stuff.<br /><br />I do want to work on that story with you. Let me send you something in the next couple days and get it going.<br /><br />GarceGarceushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11160407485298015371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9156334464585894857.post-51369570988731172162016-06-08T03:12:23.168-04:002016-06-08T03:12:23.168-04:00"Life in all its implacable indifference to m..."Life in all its implacable indifference to my genius puts its hairy hand on my shoulder." <br /><br />How true!<br /><br />But you'll get back to it.
