I used to feel lonely, once I wrote 'the end' and then had no clue what to do with the words I had strung together, but then I started blogging...made friends with wonderful people like yourself and now I am just happy, happy, happy ;)Elizabeth Seckmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00045076826326574984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2115704751652270450.post-55484397428041042712013-08-05T09:32:15.157-04:002013-08-05T09:32:15.157-04:00You have a lovely book.

Down here in Fl doors often open out so hurricanes can't blow them in and open. UPS always puts the box down in front of the door so it can't be opened. Have to go out through the garage and haul it in that way. Am I paranoid, or do they do it deliberately?

Fran, I understand ...Greetings Elizabeth and Fran,<br /><br />Fran, I understand and respect your thoughts, your process on writing. I write for therapy. I write as a shared experience. It's just me and the person reading whatever I've written. An intimate focal point.<br /><br />I'm an amateur, if I can use that word. I'm under no pressure, no restraints and don't think of writing as a lonely art. For within the ambience, I'm immersed as the characters in writing. Characters I share, who talk directly to the reader and never an audience.<br /><br />Wishing you much success and fulfilment with your book, Fran.<br /><br />Thank you for bringing this awareness of Fran, Elizabeth.<br /><br />Gary :)klahaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08613505424843475639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2115704751652270450.post-29405195125900917972013-08-03T17:24:40.971-04:002013-08-03T17:24:40.971-04:00It took me a long time to call myself a writer.
