It can't be that you're a writer because critiques are something most writers do well and love doing. Mayhap it's because you're a vanity press writer? I've seen your rankings on Amazon and I seriously doubt you're making a living from it. > In the parameters of this forum, I would encourage you to keep working > through story, and as you do, let go of the identity that you derive > from it.

What a powerful ending to a good > story. I'm sorry Molly but as usual your words are elegant but seem to lack any real content. Just exactly what does it mean to let go and move into potentiality? My first chapter may not have your elegance but it certainly is real. It's flesh and blood, grit and struggle, not flowery words that melt into vaporous mist at the first contact with reality. > An embrace with a thousand arms of compassion straight from my > heart is the best I can offer. Good luck to you in this endeavor. First you tell me to let it go and move on, then you wish me good luck in my endeavor? I can't let it go and luck is the hobgoblin of people who can't make their own way. That piece I wrote is part and parcel of who and what I am. If you couldn't deal with this first chapter than you certainly won't be able to deal with what follows because it gets bloodier, grittier and more real than anything I think you could imagine. The world is not as vaporous and ethereal as you like to paint it. It's much harsher and dirtier. I also find it hard to let your thousand arms embrace me. They are as as unreal as your perceptions of life. But that aside, I wish you good luck with your own endeavors. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups ""Minds Eye"" group.
