But, I say "poo". He didn't even write under his real name. haha<br /><br />What about Charles Dickens and Toni Morrison? Both users of adjectives. And, Eudora Welty's short stories?<br /><br />There is a place for adjectives, short stories, and writer's of memories that pull you into their world. I say there is a place for you, Rachel. And, I know there is a place in my world.♥♥♥Beverlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10535622044396271722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5574003980721581984.post-40974766946136412432017-07-31T18:51:31.456-04:002017-07-31T18:51:31.456-04:00I've been giving your beautiful writing quite ...I've been giving your beautiful writing quite a bit of thought as I do wish to encourage you bring it to a wider audience. I think the genre you're best suited is the one you currently inhabit.<br />I can see how you'd love Rick Bragg but after you finish those give a week or 2 for those to marinate your soul and then have a look at Saki the master of the short story. His voice entirely different from Bragg but look how beautifully he delivers those short lively set pieces with some only 4 or 5 pages long yet brimming with full-bodied literary virtuosity.GSLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04903412564467078538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5574003980721581984.post-20529172150244670952017-07-31T03:20:52.246-04:002017-07-31T03:20:52.246-04:00I love his writing!

They must have meant in the vein of southern writers cause he was from up north somewhere. I am reading Al Franken's latest book and it is so good and funny too.donna bakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13507579686738843451noreply@blogger.com
