Brian W Porter: I think that's what makes us look inside ourselves and become better writers. Now how can we convince people to pay us? That's the true question. 1 day ago

Kenosis23: I usually pick then indentations carefully and sometimes if you check out the way the indentations are made I am trying to add meaning ... for instance after then there are two isolated lines which say "I want to believe." I was trying to emphasize that. 1 day ago

Brian W Porter: Yeah, it's part of your design, I know. For me it detracts, but I'll learn to ignore them when necessary. For others who are more visual? Who knows. It may add meaning. 1 day ago

Brian W Porter: I think you would need days of conversation for that. The imagery? wrong word, the origin of some of the imagery is so different than we're used to you'd have to change your mindset totally. Something like that. 1 day ago

helenwinslow: Yes! Yes, yes, yes. Writing is not a spectator sport. You can't figure out what's going to happen BEFOREHAND (and you can't be afraid of that fact), but once you physically put the pen to paper it begins. Is this what you're talking about Brian? It's like diving. It's a physical process and for me it is absolutely linked to hand and pen. 1 day ago

helenwinslow

helenwinslow: So much so that it is very difficult to compose on the computer keyboard, it's artificial, I am not drawing the words. The exception is if I'm just doing a bunch of dialogue and it's coming really fast, then I can do that on the keyboard. 1 day ago

Brian W Porter scribbled: As I said before: Yeah. Exactly. You put into words what I learned thirty years ago and could never say, could only act on, and try to keep my true honor, not the honor that is preached. Five stars is not enough. Now I will add: Finished.
