I also thought the forward by Raymond Chandler was a very moving tribute.<br /><br />By the way, I love your profile picture.Yvonne Osbornehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18212188414972694795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6858983085428585414.post-42725257323427770832009-11-02T06:27:36.066-08:002009-11-02T06:27:36.066-08:00Good stuff.

I guess that's why John Gardner says a novel can take years to write. He must have been an amazing teacher. And I just realized I forgot to title this post.<br /><br />I did post The Echo on Oct 11th, and I'm very glad you found it. (I had despaired of anyone finding it.) I commented on your comment!<br /><br />Thanks.Yvonne Osbornehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18212188414972694795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6858983085428585414.post-10579497464724538332009-10-30T10:22:35.410-07:002009-10-30T10:22:35.410-07:00I like this notion about sad or happy being shown ...I like this notion about sad or happy being shown in a thousand different ways. I'm going to try to think of that when I'm writing emotional scenes and see if I can find more nuance.<br />By the way, I just commented on your "banned" story, The Echo. I don't know how I missed it. Did it post on Oct. 11? If so, I probably missed it because I was out of town. The weird thing about Blogger is if you start a post and don't put it up right away it publishes on the day you start it, not when you hit publish.Tricia J.
