What a hoot you must be in person. You don't just think outside the box; you think outside the room! I would assimilate your wit if I could.

So hopefully I will not wander off the path too much in future. Who doesn't love humor?

Like you, I am good with the big pictures, but I would probably say emotion. And, I write good endings. But, it's a little early for me, as I'm relatively new to this writing genre. I know my gifts as a journalist, but writing fiction is different. - PatriciaPatricia T.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10673204828383998897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2753417071794109197.post-2748039911763010652011-10-26T11:09:46.107-04:002011-10-26T11:09:46.107-04:00Wonderful answer Maeve.

I need to work on that. I do realize that I am blind in my own writing which is why I try to block out my own vision of it and see it how someone else would - and also why I love the advice and feedback from my crit partners and beta readers.Abby Fowershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08567978659174723198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2753417071794109197.post-39840771536442925952011-10-26T10:48:37.666-04:002011-10-26T10:48:37.666-04:00What a wonderful post.

It's so easy to read a wonderful story and think "I want to write like that."
