But had to settle for just being truthful. :-)Evie Owenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00309651867249109418noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5115759973832197426.post-8359913137962205462011-07-04T18:49:14.215-04:002011-07-04T18:49:14.215-04:00Isn't falling in love with the moon more about...Isn't falling in love with the moon more about hope than about the security of falling in love with the impossible (and therefore not truly risking your heart)? <br />Writing is hard and writing is painful and writing is a risk. The business of writing is a lovely glade chock-a-block with landmines, possibly staffed by a nest of vipers. It is cut-throat and hard-nosed and sometimes serendipitous. <br />And writing is the blood that moves through our bodies. We do it because we have to, because we need it to be alive. <br />And maybe, just maybe, as we gaze longingly with Uncle Fester, onto the Moon's placid face, with our hearts soft and full of longing, we will catch the Moon's eye and know we are loved in return.<br />It is the hope that is in us and the hope that keeps us returning, day in and month out, to the stories that are gathering in our heads.<br />Thanks for your post, Yvonne.Marjannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11083230901251977159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5115759973832197426.post-51767063718106014782011-07-04T18:18:53.823-04:002011-07-04T18:18:53.823-04:00Awesome post, Yvonne.

Dreams are integral and the pursuit of them keeps us going when our lives seem otherwise ordinary and mundane. A writer's life is all about finding the significance and revealing it to others. It's what we do. And mining truth, finding the stars, unearthing jewels all takes time and focus. We're on the right track!Candyhttp://www.candylyons.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5115759973832197426.post-47577858955749816792011-07-04T16:50:38.581-04:002011-07-04T16:50:38.581-04:00Thanks for taking me with you to RWA via twitter a...Thanks for taking me with you to RWA via twitter and text!!
