Thanks for taking the ride with me.<br /><br />BlackberryTasteIc: With such wonderful, thoughtful comments, it's amazing to me that you're not writing something.<br /><br />I agree that there's a certain level of emotion necessary in a bit of writing for it to really resonate with me. There's a blog that I read that lacks it, but it is like a train wreck.. I can't look away.<br /><br />I've been after him to write something for me for months now. He's very shy though.

And that is so powerful to me.'<br /><br />Very interesting thought, and I agree. Recently, I thought a lot about what exactly draws me into someone else's writing, really draws me in instead of just liking something. I found out that, no, it doesn't depend on what words were used (although that does help sometimes) or how graphic some description was. It's almost entirely based on what I feel of the people involved, no matter if it's the one who wrote it or if it's a fictional character. Example: It makes a big difference if someone writes 'she is sad', in which case I feel nothing because I'm looking at her from the outside (oh, she's sad, really?) or if the writer describes her sadness in a way that makes the words 'she's sad' unnecessary because you can actually feel it, from the inside.<br /><br />I think that it's a very difficult thing to accomplish, I can't do it myself or else I would be writing, but, for me, that makes the whole difference. Sometimes, when done right, 100 words mean more than 10,000. <br /><br />And oh yes, it would be more than interesting to learn what your husband thinks/feels about it all. Maybe, at some point you can get him to write something down, even if it's only for you to see.BlackberryTasteIchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14759879067046107322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1261315018538317662.post-63697152269753597162011-11-01T19:34:48.573-07:002011-11-01T19:34:48.573-07:00I just wanted to thank you for letting us ride beh...I just wanted to thank you for letting us ride behind your eyes for a while...your blog has helped me realize things that I'm into/interested in trying that I probably would've taken much longer to come to on my own!SBGx0https://www.blogger.com/profile/09273337290276304732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1261315018538317662.post-17631796884386417922011-11-01T19:00:36.078-07:002011-11-01T19:00:36.078-07:00This is why I enjoy reading your blogs even though...This is why I enjoy reading your blogs even though I don't exactly fit in.
