You know this person is seriously fascinated by the instrument because she is your neighbour or relative. You can tell this person to stop, and put the tin thing in the bin because hardly anyone makes a living out of it and too many try. Or you can encourage her to develop her ability, knowing she will be happy and grow as a person.<BR/><BR/>You would do the latter, surely. Of course you may want to send her to a tiny caravan deep in the desert, but that is another issue. <BR/><BR/>These days we have the blogosphere for writers, which makes the answer easier. <BR/><BR/>- david tileyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1981896531765274457.post-80713588086904735632007-05-14T20:48:00.000+09:302007-05-14T20:48:00.000+09:30Dear Bronte sisters,I have a two-part question for...Dear Bronte sisters,<BR/><BR/>I have a two-part question for you, m dear three authoresses:<BR/><BR/>1. My favourite of all your novels is 'Vilette'. Does this make me odd?<BR/><BR/>2. I am a writer by trade but I would like to try my hand at this 'creative writing' business. I am not sure where to start -- I have story ideas but they are vague and nebulous, and I fear I don't have the discipline to get them onto the page, or the in-depth understanding of tone and pace and rhythm and exposition and so on. Can I be helped by paying people massive amounts of money vis a vis a creative writing course? Or should I pursue some other option?<BR/><BR/>Yours most cordially,<BR/>KateAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1981896531765274457.post-47811750090733255352007-05-14T16:57:00.000+09:302007-05-14T16:57:00.000+09:30Qu: Where does the imagination reside and what is ...Qu: Where does the imagination reside and what is the best method for access and being able to communicate said imaginations in such a way that the story told is not crap?<BR/><BR/>Incidentally, how long should a sentence be?Bluehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07537206000218742156noreply@blogger.com
