It's lovely to have an audience.<br /><br />I'm in a world that's very strange to me, and if you find it interesting to join me in the struggle to make sense of it, that's wonderful!<br /><br />I just started work again today, after the summer break, so I won't be posting very often. Though if I know people will read it, maybe I'll be inspired more often! <br /><br />I like some of my earlier pieces better than this one, so if I don't post for a while, and you have time, go back and read one of them.<br /><br />Thanks again, Lis.Grettahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10692628118583670154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36801679.post-82961350300791841142010-01-20T08:10:46.352+08:002010-01-20T08:10:46.352+08:00Hi Gretta.

Some people are saying lovely things about your writing, though I see most of them have commented here already. I thought I'd copy another of Melissa's comments to me this morning and I quote from it here. Melissa is also a terrific writer.<br /><br />'I did go to Gretta's post which was quite remarkable. When I was taking a shower this morning, the thought of her running in the rain with the children next door came to mind...breaking the plastic gun, not knowing what words to say about this...'<br /><br />See how the images from your writing get inside people. They stay with us and to me that's one of the biggest compliments to a writer.Elisabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04015624747225433940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36801679.post-47695354956430103202010-01-20T06:50:44.387+08:002010-01-20T06:50:44.387+08:00Love that final sentence.Love that final sentence.Kirkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02155991693956178030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36801679.post-55326384101751266412010-01-20T02:09:08.446+08:002010-01-20T02:09:08.446+08:00Hi.

There is such tenderness in the working of your words.

I just don't have time.<br /> Though I have quite a simple vocabulary for someone who was teaching in a University, I keep forgetting that the non-American students couldn't possibly understand colloquilisms (oh, spelling, damn) that would come out of my mouth unbidden. How could I have told a group that included a number of Japanese students that something was a long row to hoe, a term that came from my grandmother and farming. That's a very blatant mistake, but I made many assumptions including that everyone knew right and left as English words.melissashookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02398008713376655570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36801679.post-72235483354517110712010-01-18T20:48:45.266+08:002010-01-18T20:48:45.266+08:00I stopped by after Elisabeth's recommendation....I stopped by after Elisabeth's recommendation.

You only need ...Hey Gretta. You'll be fine. <br /><br />You only need post once a week or so and then the comments and your responses take care of themselves. <br /><br />I admit I'm not reading as much as I should vis a vis my thesis, though I've reached the stage where I've got to stop reading and in some ways I've got to stop writing. Not that I will do either entirely. I can't live without writing and reading, these days in that order. <br /><br />Still it's time for me to consolidate and as I've groaned elsewhere, I resist. <br /><br />I enjoy redrafting but redrafting for academia is a pain. <br /><br />Is this how you found it? The final drafts of your masters? Did you find it a chore or did you actually enjoy it?Elisabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04015624747225433940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36801679.post-14787883063981863342010-01-15T10:10:02.220+08:002010-01-15T10:10:02.220+08:00Thanks for your enthusiastic support, Lis.
