I thin...Claire, I hope you're feeling better! <br /><br />I think you're right on that bleakness point, mate (bg) but, in regards to your scenes -the ones that I've read, anyway- while there is a bleakness in some of them, there always seems to be an underlying glimmer of hope. It runs like a silver thread throughout all of your work. Now, is it something you've consciously put into these scenes, or is it something about your basic outlook on life that bleeds into everything you write? Something to think about for all of us...Kristen Callihanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01448274676402616525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2274987097756433491.post-23014250589265187182010-03-16T05:46:28.750-05:002010-03-16T05:46:28.750-05:00You poor thing!!!!

I hope you feel better now and that you have a lovely, trouble-free holiday!<br /><br />As for the depressing books - I've read 1984 (which was depressing) but none of the others. And I have no plans to read them, either.Helen R-Snoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2274987097756433491.post-65188993338719688862010-03-15T09:30:41.044-05:002010-03-15T09:30:41.044-05:00I hope you all recover soon Claire and have a blis...I hope you all recover soon Claire and have a blissfully bad event free vacation :-)<br />What a timely post - I'm so busy moving Rose's story along and constantly thinking of Things That Must Happen so that I don't end up with a bunch of pontificating heads, that now I'm not sure I have any quiet scenes at all. Some events are more harrowing than others, but still, I've got lots of Event - Event - Walking Toward Next Event - Event - Revelation - Event. Where's the fun stuff?<br />(As for the books... I've read The Fountainhead but not Atlas Shrugged. I loved Nineteen Eighty-Four, even though, yes, it's very very bleak. I couldn't stand On the Beach, but then I was 13 when I read it. Though I was 13 when I read Nineteen Eighty-Four too, so I don't what that says. I've read other Steinbeck, but I *still* haven't read The Grapes of Wrath. And I *still* have never read The Lord of the Flies.)Deniz Bevanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17134553551048836979noreply@blogger.com
