Someday I'm going to have to kidnap a nice male singer/guitarist and make him record my vision for how this song should sound. It'll be great, haha.<br /><br /><br />Indeed! I am so pleased to hear it. :) This whole comment means so much coming from a master storyteller such as yourself.Meleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00848998866008289402noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6644718415179858689.post-57405633425258697482012-04-05T22:06:24.183-04:002012-04-05T22:06:24.183-04:00I got so excited when I saw that you had posted a ...I got so excited when I saw that you had posted a chunk of story - and it's very awesome. I think this works well as the opening to the story, if that's what you're planning - I like the mystery that you've established with Suzanne. The lyrics of that song are really something; I think they stand out better on the page than in the music though; listening to it now, I can't quite pick out the same mood I got when I read it in your story. There's weight and gravity to the words when they're written out, I guess.<br /><br />The 60's is a time I've never really been interested in, but you did such a good job at drawing me in and adding in those time-specific details along the way. That's the power of a good story, right? :DCloudyKimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17601048610753963689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6644718415179858689.post-72054081499276436122012-04-03T17:40:40.053-04:002012-04-03T17:40:40.053-04:00Thank you very much, Shopgirl!

Thank <i>you</i> for being awesome! ♥<br />Hang in there, dear - I do hope Spring soon offers light instead of the last straws of darkness.<br />I feel that guilt when I don't write too. And I often have trouble separating my inner self from my fiction. Still, for you I think even your "negative parts" create some darn fine writing. But I fervently hope you are soon able to write something that you find satisfaction in. I'm so glad you decided to sign onto blogger, because I truly love hearing from you. (And I loved your latest post, even though it made me sad. I see so much of myself in it... If I had a few million dollars, oh the beautiful villa I would buy you. xxx)Meleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00848998866008289402noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6644718415179858689.post-46022148692145640022012-03-20T21:18:17.893-04:002012-03-20T21:18:17.893-04:00Oh, I love this!

I would love to read it. :)<br /><br />I've struggled with "creator's block" of sorts and I haven't created anything at all for months now, I think. I feel so guilty about it. I feel like I'm letting an important part of me slip away just like that. I don't know. Nothing has inspired me enough. And it's not just that. Winter is really taking its toll on me. I've survived this far but I feel like, ironically, I'm starting to fall apart just now that it's almost Spring. Anyway, what I'm trying to say is that I'm so glad that I should stumble onto this post. I haven't checked blogger for a while. But I'm glad I did now. You are such a inspiration to me, Melee. I want to write something, anything - right now. I haven't felt like this for months. I'll try and put my personal feelings aside and write something purely fictional. I feel like I can't write without my writings being significantly influenced by my personal feelings and memories and thoughts and so on. I feel like the only part of me that influes my writings is all the negative stuff. I can't seem to bring out a positive part of me in almost anything at all. Anyways, enough of my ramblings. Thank you for being so awesome. ♥Lenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12524359427139732822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6644718415179858689.post-70781355636631039882012-03-19T23:04:04.718-04:002012-03-19T23:04:04.718-04:00Oh, Jade - thank you.

I'm actually glad that approach to writing appeals to you, because I was wondering if it was a really foolish way of going about it. Well, it suits me and I guess that's the main thing. I hope the strategy helps! :)<br /><br />I am happy to hear that. Intrigue is good. :) That is one thing I hope I can do really well: conjuring the proper feel of the time. So I'm trying to do a lot of "60s reading".<br /><br />I hope your week is beautiful and blessed. ♥Meleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00848998866008289402noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6644718415179858689.post-32211876539663788692012-03-19T22:39:43.741-04:002012-03-19T22:39:43.741-04:00Dear, sweet E. - I will (always), but with a light...Dear, sweet E. - I will (always), but with a lighter heart from your words.

I love the fact that you are not deciding how long it will be...just writing & letting the story decide for itself. <br /><br />You may not realize how much of an inspiration these words are to me, as I have been struggling with my creative work. At first I was thinking I would publish memoir writings, but then I realized I'd rather write fiction. After that, I was still not sure if I should stick to short stories or write something novel-length, as if one is better than the other. So as of this morning, I am going to try your strategy of not deciding :) :) :)<br /><br />I'm also intrigued by the era you've chosen for this story and the atmosphere of it...<br /><3 <3 Blessingsnonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13025913472730278205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6644718415179858689.post-30198489193084725762012-03-19T03:53:59.532-04:002012-03-19T03:53:59.532-04:00Oh you beautiful soul, keep writing! <3Oh you beautiful soul, keep writing! <3Ehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11877573276097160343noreply@blogger.com
