I find that the more the writer shares, the more meaningful it is to me as a reader, because the more there is for me to attach to emotionally. I recommend taking risks in writing. It can always be edited out later.Polly Kahlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08144327981127333878noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1892083748555571767.post-11726430758655739662008-03-11T17:49:00.000-06:002008-03-11T17:49:00.000-06:00dfTerrie - I appreciate your support.dfTerrie - I appreciate your support.Leah J.

I've thought about it myself, many times, but I know I really don't want to write non-fiction--even if it's about my own life. I've heard it said that sci-fi is about the hardest thing there is to write. I'd have to disagree: non-fiction is more difficult for me!

She certainly has had her share of bad patches in her life (as you well know, having witnessed one or two!), but her memory of those times is definitely fuzzy. The idea of sitting down and deliberately remembering those times makes the Bag Lady feel sick to her stomach, so she commends your bravery!the Bag Ladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17434610508260994331noreply@blogger.com
